In what's been called "a medical breakthrough on the verge of happening," scientists have built a soft robot with the capacity to carry different types of drugs through the body – in a device the size of a grain of rice, steered by magnetic fields.

Forget radioactive spiders – a new breakthrough could make it easier to get Spider-Man’s wall-crawling powers. Scientists in Singapore have created a strong and reusable adhesive out of a shape-memory polymer, triggered by temperature changes.

Scientists have created a lab-grown microbiome like the one found in a tiny plastics-munching worm, and it has the potential to efficiently and sustainably biodegrade the world's most common and troublesome plastics – all without the need for the worms.

Work was recently completed on what's being hailed as the largest mass timber building in Asia. Designed by Toyo Ito, the project features impressive green design, including solar panels that produce more electricity than it requires.

The human brain can be primed to learn more than three times faster, simply by flashing a light at its individual alpha brainwave frequency for 1.5 seconds, suggests a fascinating new neuroplasticity study from Cambridge and Singapore's NTU.

Diamond is an electrical insulator, but maybe not always. A new study calculated that deforming diamond nano-needles would change their conductivity from an insulator to a semiconductor to a highly conductive metal – and back again at will.

cientists at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University have taken the wraps off a creepy new humanoid named Nadine with her own personality, designed to play the role of social companion or personal assistant in homes and offices. ​​

A smart window developed at NTU is able to tint itself blue, partially blocking incoming light, without the need for an external power source and also functions as a small transparent battery that recharges on its own simply by interacting with the oxygen in its surroundings.

Researchers have built an “inexact” prototype silicon chip that is allowed to make the occasional mistake, but which they claim is at least 15 times more efficient than current technology in terms of speed, energy consumption and size.

Scientists at Singapore's Nanyang Technological University (NTU) have created a "magnetic-like" coating that traps and destroys 99 percent of the bacteria and fungi that it encounters

The I-slate is a low-cost, low-energy tablet PC designed for use in rural Indian schools that don't have electricity.

June 5, 2006 Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University (NTU) has developed an innovative ‘gap clearing’ mechanism that could bring about long term convenien
