Invisible #hydrogen leaks are a major safety concern for clean energy. @ASTARsg researchers successfully prove the existence of an optical phenomenon that paves the way for compact yet ultrasensitive hydrogen sensors. bit.ly/46fB8MU
Not all proteins are created equal 🧬 @ASTARsg researchers reveal key differences in how our bodies digest plant vs animal proteins, offering insights for improving alternative protein products. bit.ly/4lXmEWT
Digital threats are evolving faster than ever—and so are the solutions. Through the Centre for Advanced Technologies in Online Safety (CATOS), A*STAR is accelerating efforts to combat new safety risks from harmful online content and cyberattacks. bit.ly/46NT0Q3
Predictions of machine failure just got smarter 🔧 @ASTARsg researchers devised a new Sensor Alignment (SEA) framework that aligns multi-sensor data across time, dramatically improving failure predictions for complex systems like aero engines. bit.ly/4mxktKE
Could diagnosing #psoriasis be as simple as scanning a bar code? @ASTARsg researchers used ms-RSOM imaging to create detailed 3D skin images—transforming how we can monitor chronic skin conditions. bit.ly/4hAqsLg
A material thinner than paper offers a new way to control light and electronic charge with minimal energy, which could improve how future computers store and process information. 👉 Read more: bit.ly/4lHbnK5
A closer look at fermentation 🔍 @ASTARsg scientists dig into tempeh to uncover how microbial action breaks down soybean proteins into smaller, more digestible and more nutritious forms. bit.ly/45ALCXf
Patients with spinal muscular atrophy may need to watch their liver. Using stem cells & CRISPR, @ASTARsg researchers discovered the same genetic defect that causes muscle weakness can cause long-term liver issues for both SMA patients & carriers. bit.ly/4kSYv3u
Plant-based chicken fat that looks, feels & acts like the real thing? @ASTARsg researchers used faba beans & olive oil to create protein emulsion gels that perfectly mimic chicken fat with lower cholesterol. A game-changer for plant-based food tech! 🌱 bit.ly/4l7TuUW
X-rays just got a major efficiency boost ⚡ @ASTARsg scientists developed scintillators that capture escaping X-ray energy using "triplet exciton recycling"—several orders more efficient than current systems. bit.ly/46XO3UM
Dendrites have limited lithium-ion battery potential for decades. @ASTARsg and @nussg researchers are using machine learning to screen millions of molecules for new additives, and identified 62 solutions for safer, higher-capacity batteries. bit.ly/4mITYBM
On #WorldBreastCancerResearchDay, see how @ASTARsg scientists are targeting transcriptional pathways—the control centers responsible for rapid cancer cell growth—to minimise the aggressiveness of triple-negative breast cancer. bit.ly/3UsH1Ql
Legumes vs Diabetes 🥊 Scientists from @ASTARsg and @nussg have recently found legume-rich diets improved cholesterol & blood glucose control in prediabetic adults. How? By stirring up beneficial gut bacteria that boost metabolism. bit.ly/4115906

What can tweets tell us about a person’s emotional state? @ASTARsg researchers discovered that emotional expressions such as fear, joy & anger in tweets were effective predictors of mental health crises, potentially aiding in early interventions. bit.ly/3V2TRox
Ultraviolet (UV) light is quietly powering breakthrough technologies. @ASTARsg and @NTUsg scientists developed silicon metasurfaces that convert low-power lasers to deep-UV on tiny chips—achieving 14x power boost for faster electronics and technology ⬇️ bit.ly/4litF4d
Scientists at @ASTARsg, together with teams from China & @NTUsg, developed a device that converts invisible near-infrared light into visible light 👁️ The breakthrough technology opens doors for smarter vision security systems & medical sensors ⬇️ bit.ly/45FU3PR
Sometimes, working with imperfections is the perfect solution. @ASTARsg researchers found that spacing out the defects in WS2 semiconductors evenly maintains material stability as opposed to keeping clustered defects. Read more: bit.ly/463kbWo
Could your childhood sleep preferences shape your emotional development? New research reveals 'night owl' children may face social challenges later on—but not for the reasons you'd expect. 🦉 bit.ly/45iJAJG
