On June 25 and 26, a group of students from Yuan Ching Secondary School (YCSS) had the chance to explore life as a young scientist when they took part in the NTU Campus Science Trail. This two-day immersive experience, organised by student volunteers from the...
Letian Yu (PhD, Physics and Applied Physics) investigates how Dirac quasiparticles behave in systems where energy is not conserved—an unconventional but increasingly relevant direction in modern physics. Through a combination of theoretical modelling and...
Chan Long Shan has designed a microwave diagnostic system for a next-generation fusion energy device for this final year project. This diagnostic will be used to characterise turbulence in burning plasma, a key phenomenon in achieving scientific breakeven. By...
Quantum computers hold the promise of solving problems far beyond the capabilities of today’s supercomputers. At the heart of these systems are qubits—particularly, fluxonium qubits, which require superinductors to preserve delicate quantum states. But conventional...
Physicists know that no measurement is meaningful without an estimate of its error. Keane studied how to estimate the uncertainty in neural network predictions. As part of his final year project at the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS), Keane...
As part of his final year project at the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS), Eduard Wikarta (Year 4, PHMS) delved into the complex world of plasma physics and computational diagnostics. His project focused on simulating how microwave beams...
In the ongoing battle against plant pathogens, the rice blast fungus (Magnaporthe oryzae) stands out as a formidable foe, threatening food security worldwide. Now, scientists from Nanyang Technological University’s (NTU) School of Biological Sciences (SBS) have...
Fourth-year students at the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences (SPMS), Nanyang Technological University, have the opportunity to embark on Final Year Projects (FYPs) that challenge their understanding of scientific concepts while encouraging them to...
On 28 March, postgraduate students, alumni, and industry professionals gathered for an engaging afternoon at the inaugural Postgraduate Alumni Networking & Industry Engagement event. The event provided a valuable platform for students to connect with alumni...
In an era where global food security is a pressing concern, our researchers from Nanyang Technological University’s (NTU) School of Biological Sciences (SBS) are making groundbreaking discoveries in plant immunity. Plant diseases caused by pathogens pose a significant...
