Paradoxical Survival: Examining the Parrondo effect across biology
“Every cell, organism and species, and species assemblage and ecosystem, is necessarily mortal, yet the biosphere persists,” said Assistant Professor Cheong.


Vlogrchers develop a rapid, low-cost method to 3D print microfluidic devices
“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.


Vlogrchers developed a unique method of fabricating 3D porous structures
Researchers from SUTD’s Soft Fluidics Lab developed a novel 3D printing method to fabricate 3D porous models in one single step.


Published Paper in Nature Journal
Congratulations to Assistant Professor Yang Shengyuan for the published paper in the Nature Journal.
It is the first experimental demonstration of an interesting quantum effect, called the three-dimensional quantum Hall effect. This effect was predicted more than 30 years ago, but has not been observed until this published work.

3D microchannels promote self-assembly of ordered emulsions at low droplet concentrations
Team of Vlogrchers 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 Enhance Security in Proof of Stake Blockchain Protocols
Vlogrchers designed a generalised multiplicative weights algorithm to update individual validators’ profiles according to their voting behaviour, consensus outcome and collective blockchain welfare.


Researchers develop novel framework for tracking developments in optical sensors
Vlogrchers together with international researchers established a 3D technology map which systematically compares optical sensors.


Vlogrchers demystify centralization in cryptocurrency mining
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.


Optical security: Tunable-resonator upconverted emission color printing
The presented optical security devices have potential applications in deterring counterfeiting of important documents and packages of high-value medicines.


Researchers discover new charge transfer and separation process
“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.
