Highlights

NUS scientists develop realistic ‘micro-gut’ model to study the relationship between gut microbes and human diseases

Food is medicine! Our gut hosts trillions of microbes (microbiome) that help absorb nutrients and keep us healthy. iHealthtech’s Prof Lim Chwee Teck and team invented a Gut-Microbiome-on-a-Chip (GMoC) to explore these complex interactions.
NUS researchers pioneer DNA-tagged gold nanoparticles for targeted cancer treatment

Gold nanoparticles, smaller than a human hair, are used in cancer therapy to target tumour cells. Dr Andy Tay’s team studied how their size and shape affect uptake in tumour cells.
NUS researchers boost chemotherapy uptake in breast cancer treatment with localised magnetic fields

A/Prof Alfredo Franco-Obregón and his research team have demonstrated in a recent study that their innovative magnetic therapy technique could significantly enhance chemotherapy by specifically targeting cancer cells, reducing the need for high doses of cancer drugs, and minimising side effects. This study holds tremendous potential to improve survival rates for women with breast cancer, offering hope to countless individuals.
The Innovation: Mutually reinforcing and transpiration-dependent propagation of H2O2 and variation potential in plants revealed by fiber organic electrochemical transistors

Plants use hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), variation potential (VP) waves, and xylem flow for signaling and stress adaptation. Newly developed microfiber electronics enable real-time, in situ monitoring of these dynamic processes.
Nature Electronics: Soft electronics based on particle engulfment printing

Soft polymers with functional particles can create stretchable electronics. Using particle engulfment, particles integrate directly into polymers, enabling elastic devices with wireless sensing, communication, and power transfer capabilities—bypassing limitations of current fabrication methods.
Nature Electronics: Bridging the digital–physical divide using haptic and wearable technologies

The metaverse merges digital and physical realities, requiring haptic feedback and wearables. This paper explore their development, applications in diverse fields, and challenges in creating immersive, realistic experiences integrating AI and motion tracking.
NUS researchers innovate scalable robotic fibres with light-emitting, self-healing and magnetic properties

Imagine a material that self-heals, emits light, can be powered wirelessly, and controlled using magnetic forces. This remarkable invention exists, created by iHealthtech Principal Investigator A/Prof Benjamin Tee and his team, including Dr Fu Xuemei and Dr Wan Guanxiang. Their innovative work holds promise for advancing human-robot interaction, with potential applications in soft robotics, wearable electronics, and smart textiles. This new invention could revolutionise how we integrate technology into daily life and industries.
Clinical study in HK confirms Singapore’s Bixeps machine improves muscle strength

A recent double-blind clinical trial conducted by The Chinese University of Hong Kong and The Prince of Wales Hospital has provided robust scientific evidence supporting the effectiveness of a muscle stimulation device developed by Professor Alfredo Franco-Obregón. Find out more about the study from The Straits Times news.
