By tweaking the surface properties of graphene, NUS I-FIM researchers engineered a bio-anode optimised for hosting electricity-generating bacteria, offering a fresh perspective on sustainable energy amid rising global demands. In a significant stride towards a greener future, researchers from the Institute for Functional Intelligent Materials (I-FIM) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have unveiled …
Prof. Frederick Duncan Haldane (Princeton University) visited the Institute for Functional Intelligent Materials (I-FIM) at the National University of Singapore on 9 and 10 Jan 2023. Prof. Haldane is a co-recipient of the 2016 Nobel Prize Physics, together with Prof. David J. Thouless and Prof. J. Michael Kosterlitz, “for theoretical discoveries of topological phase transitions …
ABSTRACT: Intercalation of Li+ ions into layered crystals, such as graphite, is a key process in the functioning of Li batteries and energy storage. Bilayer graphene is an ultimate building block for intercalated graphite and is therefore an ideal system for investigation of the storage capacity, structural characteristics and dynamics of the intercalation process. I …

ABSTRACT Substantial in vitro and physiological experimental results suggest that similar coherent spin physics might underlie phenomena as varied as the biosensing of magnetic fields in animal navigation and the magnetosensitivity of metabolic reactions related to oxidative stress in cells. If this is correct, organisms might behave, for a short time, as “living quantum sensors” …
