2021 0514 NUS and Shell join hands to advance decarbonisation solutions
The research agreement was inked by (front row, from left) Ms Emily Tan, General Manager, City Solutions, Shell Renewables and Energy Solutions, and Professor Chen Tsuhan, NUS Deputy President (Research and Technology). The signing was witnessed by (back row, from left) Professor Low Teck Seng, Chief Executive Officer, National Research Foundation Singapore, Ms Aw Kah Peng, Chairman, Shell Companies in Singapore, and Mr Chng Kai Fong, Managing Director, Singapore Economic Development Board.
Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and international energy giant Shell will jointly develop novel processes to use carbon dioxide, a byproduct of industrial processes, to produce fuels and chemicals for the energy industry. Supported by the National Research Foundation Singapore (NRF), this S$4.6 million research programme was formalised by all three parties at a ceremony held today.

Singapore, 5 May 2021 - The rapid advancement of Autonomous Vehicles (AV) technology in recent years has changed transport systems and consumer habits globally. As countries worldwide see a surge in AV usage, the rise of shared Autonomous Mobility on Demand (AMoD) service is likely to be next on the cards. Public Transit (PT), a critical component of urban transportation, will inevitably be impacted by the upcoming influx of AMoD and the question remains unanswered on whether AMoD would co-exist with or threaten the PT system.
SMART Investigates The Science Behind Varying Performance Of Different Colored LEDs
The findings pave the way to develop more efficient next-gen LEDs that cover the entire visible spectrum.
Researchers from the Low Energy Electronic Systems (LEES) interdisciplinary research group at Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART), MIT’s research enterprise in Singapore, together with MIT and National University of Singapore (NUS), have found a method to quantify the distribution of compositional fluctuations in the indium gallium nitride (InGaN) quantum wells at different indium concentrations.
InGaN light emitting diodes (LEDs) have revolutionized the field of solid-state lighting due to their high efficiencies and durability, and low costs. The color of the LED emission can be changed by varying the indium concentration in the InGaN compound, giving InGaN LEDs the potential to cover the entire visible spectrum. InGaN LEDs with relatively low amounts of indium compar

SMART breakthrough in materials discovery enables twistronics for bulk systems
The findings allow manipulation of materials for the first time by stacking films at a twist angle, allowing a new way to control light emitting from materials
Recent discoveries focused on manipulation of atomically-thin 2D materials, while the new breakthrough can be used to stack technologically-relevant 3D materials at a twist angle
Method allows continuous, systematic control of optical emission intensity and energy, and can produce ultraviolet emissions at room temperature for bulk systems
The discovery can be significant for applications in medicine, environmental or information technologies.
