Research Highlights

In the age of digitalisation, electronics products are becoming increasingly ubiquitous. Over the past few decades, electronic products like computers, smartphones, televisions, gaming consoles and internet of things (IoT) devices have completely transformed the way we interact, live, work and play.

An integrated design optimisation and fabrication workflow opens new opportunities for tailoring the mechanical properties of soft machines.

Photonics researchers demonstrate 11-fold compression of light in time, introducing an important paradigm for light generation in advanced metrology, imaging and high speed optical communications.

SUTD researchers have used nanotechnology to create a unique print that displays a glasses-free 3D image under ordinary white light. The appearance of the image changes as the print is viewed from varying angles. The print is called a ‘light field print’ for its unique design and appearance as compared to conventional 2D images.

From desalination batteries and low-energy treatment technologies to adaptive water and power supply systems, researchers from the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) are coupling water and energy issues to develop sustainable water management strategies.

This novel approach enables fabrication of complex and customised soft robot components, reducing time, effort and errors.

A deeper understanding of how the environment impacts quantum behaviour is bringing quantum devices one step closer to widespread adoption.

Imagine you’re leaving for Mars tomorrow on a space shuttle, and the baggage allowance is almost non-existent. What would you pack for long-term survival on the distant, barren planet?

These newly developed resins are tougher and will also allow for more robust integration of mechatronic components in 3D printed multi-material structures.

Colours are important for us to identify things and experience the world we live in. It can create or enhance moods, communicate a message and influence our behavior.
