SINGAPORE: Singapore’s national water agency PUB has started work on a new coastal-inland flood model, which will enable it to better assess the impact of climate change on Singapore’s coastal areas.
The model, which is capable of simulating and evaluating both inland and coastal flood risks, will be developed “based on Singapore’s densely built-up and urbanised environment”, PUB said on Friday (Apr 9).

X-ray imaging is widely used in areas such as healthcare and forensic science, but existing X-ray machines are unable to capture curved three-dimensional (3D) objects at high resolution, and they are also relatively expensive. Now, an international team of researchers led by chemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has demonstrated a potential solution to overcome these limitations by using nanocrystals that can trap X-rays.
