After overseas travel was severely restricted during the COVID-19 pandemic, Singaporeans were once again able to enjoy travelling, thanks to a greater easing of travel restrictions over the last several months. No longer limited to solely virtual outreach events for international students, NTU College of Science recently organised a series of physical and virtual overseas outreach events in September, targeting students from Malaysia and Indonesia.
Electron Liquids on the Cutting Edge
A team led by Assistant Professor Bent Weber uses state-of-the-art microscopy techniques to study and control one-dimensional electron fluids, with the aim of creating robust quantum computers.
Mathematical AI Methods Supercharge the Search for Perovskite Materials
New artificial intelligence techniques are applied to the design of perovskite materials, predicting their properties with unprecedented accuracy and efficiency.
Discovering a New Topological Material: the 3D Chern Insulator
NTU researchers have realized a long-elusive phase of matter, the 3D Chern insulator, using a photonic metamaterial. We discuss this breakthrough with SPMS PhD student Liu Guigeng.
Developing Mathematical Algorithms to Aid E-Commerce
Assistant Professor Yan Zhenzhen, a mathematician specializing in optimization and data analytics, is developing decision models to help online retailers improve their logistics.
Anderson Serangoon Junior College University Symposium: College of Science Represent!

Several students from the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences have received academic prizes in recognition of their exceptional grades , outstanding final-year projects, and other accomplishments. Here are the winners from Class of 2022.
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.
