To unlock the potential of quantum computers, researchers must find semiconductor materials and metal contacts that work well at sub-zero temperatures.

Instead of software, hardware that can generate true random numbers could be the key to ensuring cybersecurity.

Adding more crystals to a quantum optical infrared sensor improves its sensitivity and opens the door to broader use.

A high-throughput screening method could significantly shorten the discovery cycle for new thermoelectric materials.

Computing devices are finally reaching their limits. But recently discovered particles called magnetic skyrmions could redefine these limits, according to Anjan Soumyanarayanan.

Lead-free piezoceramics sacrifice performance for lower toxicity, but A*STAR researchers have developed a method to overcome that.

Faster temperature scanners may be on the way thanks to A*STAR researchers who have developed an infrared photodetector that works at room temperature.

This ‘smart mask’ designed by A*STAR researchers may reduce the risk of infection in healthcare workers by enabling remote, real-time monitoring of patients’ symptoms.

New computer models show how semiconductor flakes with fancy shapes grow from simple starting points and rules.

A new class of organic conductors shows high thermoelectric efficiency, thanks to an unusual arrangement of electrons inside its bonds.

A*STAR researchers have developed a biodegradable polymeric drug carrier that can target cancerous tissue in the lungs and liver.

From transparent masks to antimicrobial coatings, newer face masks in development will include advanced design features and materials.
