Atomically thin materials known as quantum spin Hall insulators have unusual properties that can be used to create error-resistant quantum computers. Nanyang Assistant Professor Bent Weber and Dr Michael Lodge survey the development of this exciting research field.
Blending Superconductivity and Magnetism to Create New Quantum Particles
Physicists have created a hybrid material in which superconductivity and magnetism interact, which could be used to create a new type of quantum computer.

NTU Singapore scientists design compound that targets enzyme linked to autoimmune disorders and severe COVID-19
When the body detects a pathogen, such as bacteria or viruses, it mounts an immune system response to fight this invader. In some people, the immune system overreacts, resulting in an overactive immune response that causes the body to injure itself, which may prove fatal in some cases.
Now, scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have created a compound that could help to reduce this overactivation without impairing the body’s entire immune response.
Finding the Keys to the Kingdom: Researchers Devise an Attack on the AES Algorithm
The Advanced Encryption Standard, or AES, is one of the most widely-used encryption algorithms in the world. An international team, led by researchers from NTU, has found an attack on a reduced-strength variant of AES, in an important milestone for our understanding of this critically important algorithm.

Weird Flex But Okay: Researchers Develop a Superior Piezoelectric Material
A newly-developed piezoelectric material can flex forty times more than its competitors, opening the way to better micro machines.
Regulation in the Pharmaceuticals and Biotech Industry: Interview with Dr Zheng Yiying
Dr Zheng Yiying has recently launched a new chemistry module in SPMS that provides an overview of regulations in pharmaceutical drugs, biologics, and medical devices. We caught up with Dr Zheng to ask about her background, and her reasons for creating this new course.
Balancing Economic and Public Health in a Pandemic
As COVID-19 spreads across the world, Assistant Professor Pun Chi Seng investigates an efficient social distancing policy (ESDP) with the use of stochastic epidemic modeling and deep learning algorithms, in which this methodology could be used for future unexpected pandemics.
