"Every cell, organism and species, and species assemblage and ecosystem, is necessarily mortal, yet the biosphere persists," said Assistant Professor Cheong.

"By controlling the distance between the top and bottom substrates, we were able to precisely reduce the channel width up to around 30 microns." said lead author Terry Ching, a graduate student from SUTD.

Researchers from SUTD's Soft Fluidics Lab developed a novel 3D printing method to fabricate 3D porous models in one single step.

Team of SUTD researchers led by Assistant Professor Michinao Hashimoto has discovered an elegant way to achieve self-assembly of low density droplets in microfluidic flows using three dimensional (3D) microchannels.

SUTD researchers designed a generalised multiplicative weights algorithm to update individual validators’ profiles according to their voting behaviour, consensus outcome and collective blockchain welfare.

SUTD researchers together with international researchers established a 3D technology map which systematically compares optical sensors.

The application of this theory in the currently evolving blockchain ecosystem unveiled incentives both for active and for newly entering miners to merge and act as single entities.

The presented optical security devices have potential applications in deterring counterfeiting of important documents and packages of high-value medicines.

"We first analysed chemical big data and spotted a pattern between molecular structures and fluorescent properties. After understanding this TICS process, we then designed a probe to prove this concept," said Assistant Professor Liu.
