NUS researchers found that the greater mouse-deer population on Pulau Ubin has reached the highest density recorded, likely driven by an African Swine Fever outbreak that decimated wild pigs, highlighting how disease can reshape forest ecosystems.

NUS scientists have built the world's most accurate atomic clock using lutetium, measuring time to 19 decimal places. The clock's resilience to environmental changes could help redefine the second and probe unknowns in fundamental physics.

Check out our organo radical nitro reduction chemistry that uncages RNA in vitro and in living cells at ultrafast speed @angew_chem. Congrats to Yiran and the team @ChemNUS @ResearchFoS! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…
NUS researchers developed AI methods that learn large-scale behaviour of complex materials from microscopic data. By identifying hidden variables capturing collective behaviour, they predict how materials evolve over time, reducing costly simulations.

🔬Microplastics are showing up in coral reef sediment & water across Singapore's urban reefs (🧴🎣). Our study shows abundance is associated with fine sediments & low water energy, not coral cover or reef rugosity — sheltered reefs may be most at risk! 🪸 doi.org/10.1016/j.marpolbul.…
NUS food scientists have used machine learning to sift through over 2,300 scent molecules from aromatic plants and identify compounds with sleep-promoting potential, an approach that could accelerate the discovery of natural sleep aids.

NUS researchers have developed a computation-guided strategy to produce urea more efficiently from carbon dioxide and nitrate. They identified a catalyst that maintains high urea selectivity at practical current densities.

NUS researchers have developed an AI-guided workflow that combines AI with molecular simulations to identify potential drug candidates for diabetic wound healing, identifying folic acid, a common vitamin, as a top candidate.

NUS researchers have discovered that cancer cells do not simply push through surrounding tissues to spread, but instead actively grip onto protective tissue barriers and pull them apart, revealing a fundamentally new mechanism of cancer invasion.

NUS researchers have developed a predictive strategy for graphene-like molecules with multiple interacting spins and resilience to magnetic perturbations, opening avenues for molecular-scale quantum information technologies and next-generation spintronics.

NUS mathematicians and their collaborators have established a precise form of a conjectural duality, known as Relative Langlands duality, for an important class of mathematical spaces.

NUS researchers have built a molecular “leash” to pull directly on a force-sensing protein called Piezo1, and discovered it switches on at about 15 piconewtons, proving that it can be activated by physical tethers, not only by membrane deformation.

NUS researchers have developed a boron-catalysed method to transform oxetanes into larger, medicinally relevant 1,3-oxazinanes by the selective insertion of two building blocks, a carbon unit and a nitrogen unit.

NUS scientists have developed a biochemical technique that captures fleeting “handshakes” between newly made proteins and the cellular helpers. These interactions can determine whether a protein turns out healthy and useful.

NUS biologists have uncovered how the protein NuSAP safeguards tiny structures inside cells called centrioles, revealing a mechanism linked to developmental disorders such as microcephaly and mosaic variegated aneuploidy (MVA) syndrome.

NUS researchers have identified a protein called tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) as a potential “switch” that can modulate a type of cancer cell death known as immunogenic cell death.
