A team at the National University of Singapore, led by Assistant Professor Tural Khudiyev, has created a flexible display by weaving 54 electronic fibers—each embedding LEDs and touch sensors within a one-millimeter-thick structure—into a garment sleeve. The 168mm by 105mm prototype displays images and video at 30 frames per second, responds to touch, connects wirelessly to devices, and maintains performance after 50 machine-wash cycles.

Engineers at the National University of Singapore, led by Fu Heng, created millimeter-thick fibers embedding thousands of LED chips and pressure sensors, woven into a sweater sleeve to act as an interactive display. The fibers survived 50 machine washes and 1,000 bending cycles, and can be produced up to 10 meters long with added components like microphones and temperature sensors, though the prototype still needs external batteries and controllers.

Xinyu Dong, a materials scientist at the National University of Singapore, is adapting freeze casting—a method traditionally used to build ceramic bone-repair scaffolds—to engineer hydrogels with improved structural properties. The technique involves freezing a water-based slurry in a controlled direction so ice crystals push material particles into an organized porous network, which is later preserved after the ice is removed. Dong began this work during her PhD in 2020 and has since extended the approach to aerogels and, in 2024, proposed a new variation of the freeze-casting process for hydrogels.

Researchers at the National University of Singapore have built an optical atomic clock using lutetium ions that is four times more precise than the previous record-holder, a calcium-ion clock. The device would lose less than a second over roughly 260 billion years, making it the most accurate timekeeper reported to date, according to a study published in Nature on September 23.
