Meet the 2022 CoS Valedictorians: Ho Zhi Qing (SPMS)
In this series, Science@NTU gets to know the 2022 CoS valedictorians. They give a quick overview of their time in CoS, and also offer a few words of advice on staying positive during these uncertain times. First up, we have Ho Zhi Qing from the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS).
Nanostructured perovskites add a twist to light
Using nanostructured perovskite materials, scientists have created optical devices with greatly enhanced ability to absorb or emit chiral light.
Mimicking biological synapses with a transistor
A newly-developed cobalt-based transistor functions like a synapse, performing elementary learning and forgetting tasks.
SPRUCE: Sustainable Plastics RepUrposing for a Circular Economy
Researchers at NTU’s School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences are attempting to implement large-scale “upcycling” of plastic waste, using renewable energy to convert it into chemical feedstocks.
Mixing light and matter in 2D materials
Using a two-dimensional material, physicists can generate and control exciton polaritons, particles composed of light and matter, at ambient temperatures.
Fighting Obesity With Fermented Soybean Waste
An international team of scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) and Waseda University in Japan have found that fermented soybean waste, or okara, could improve fat metabolism and mitigate effects of diet-induced obesity.
A new method for creating sulphur-based medicines
A key technical challenge in creating new sulphur-based medicines has been overcome by scientists at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), leading to the prospect of many new therapeutic ‘weapons’ in the fight against disease and illness.
