A research paper has been published in the journal Seminars in Orthodontics as part of the collaborative effort between FoD, AM.NUS, and Dr Mark Gan, Associate Director at Centre for Teaching, Learning and Technology. The project evolved through the dedicated efforts of Assoc Prof Yen, Assoc Prof Foong and Dr Cheryl Lai, a Master of […]

This paper discusses the use of cassava starch, an eco-friendly and affordable material as a polishing medium that has the potential to revolutionize Abrasive Flow Machining (AFM) for impeccable internal surface finishes. Key findings: – Cassava starch is easily accessible and enables recycling without pollution. – Concentration above 37% yields Shear Thickening Polishing Slurry (STP-s). […]

This paper discusses the revolutionary impact of nanosheet materials like graphene and phosphorene, created by breaking interlayer van der Waals forces, in various fields. Layered inorganic materials have broad applications, but their strong interlayer bonding hinders nanosheet fabrication. The study introduces a method to create nanosheets by selectively exfoliating interlayer metal atoms through metal-chelation reactions. […]

The AM.NUS team comprising of Dr Cai Yanli, Gan Soo Wah, Dr Ma Sha, A/Prof Lu Wen Feng and A/Prof Yen Ching-Chiuan has contributed a book chapter in “Cartilage: From Biology to Biofabrication”, titled “Osteochondral Unit Approach for Articular Cartilage Regeneration”. This chapter from the research team proposes the use of Tissue engineering (TE) as a […]

Researchers led by Professor Huang Dejian, principal investigator of the project and AM.NUS research thrust co-lead, have developed a new plant protein ink that can be used to create scaffolds for growing meat in laboratories in a more cost-effective way. The edible ink is made from the by-products of agricultural grains like maize and barley […]

This paper discusses the benefits of electrical stimulation for biomedical applications but highlights the limitations of traditional equipment. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) have been developed as an alternative, utilising triboelectrification and electrostatic induction to create electrical energy from kinetic energy. TENGs can be used in various applications such as enhancing bone regeneration, detecting biological signals, slowing […]

A research team comprising Liu Quyang , Li Tian, Dr Zhai Wei and AM.NUS researchers Gan Soo Wah,  Chang Soon Yee and A/Prof Yen Ching-Chiuan released a study that focuses on the development of hierarchical porous hydroxyapatite (hpHA) scaffolds for bone tissue engineering (BTE). The scaffolds are fabricated using 3D printing of emulsion inks, which allows for […]

This research paper presents the development of a novel breast teaching model that is easily adjustable and cost-effective. The project was funded by the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Cluster (NAMIC) grant, and it was conducted in collaboration with KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital. Read the paper here.

This article explores the use of 3D printing technology to produce prosthetic nails in a more efficient and precise manner. The process involves reverse engineering a patient’s hand using a 3D scanner, creating 3D models of the nail shapes using CAD software, and printing the nails using inkjet technology. The results show that 3D printing […]

The AM.NUS team comprising of Dr Cai Yanli, Chang Soon Yee, Gan Soo Wah, Dr Ma Sha, A/Prof Lu Wen Feng and A/Prof Yen Ching-Chiuan has published a review paper titled “Nanocomposite bioinks for 3D bioprinting”. This paper explores the recent developments of cell-laden nanocomposite bioinks for 3D bioprinting and cell-materials interactions. 3D bioprinting is […]
