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.

Rising up to the (CoS) Challenge!
The inaugural CoS Challenge was held in January 2022, receiving a warm reception from the CoS community. Leading up to the competition, CoS staff, faculty and alumni came together in late 2021 to contribute to the pool of questions known as the “Knowledge Bank”....
Caring Through Science Education – The CoS Community Project 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected everyone, but lower income households bore the brunt of the impact. According to The Straits Times, more than half of households earning less than $1,000 reported disruptions to their income during the circuit breaker in mid-2020. It...
Disordered Solids Give Off Strange Vibes
Using numerical simulations, two physicists have explained some long-standing anomalies in the behaviour of sound waves in disordered materials.
