NUS scientists have discovered a simple DNA “switch” that helps tropical butterflies adjust the size of their wing eyespots in response to seasonal temperatures, shedding light on the evolution of environmental sensitivity. https://t.co/bGTNeLTXN8

Atom-swapping in a saturated heterocycle? We report a photocatalytic transmutation strategy in @Nature that exchanges O within an oxetane for N, S, C & even dual atoms, simplifying access to a variety of non-aromatic cyclic pharmacophores & enabling late-stage editing of complex

Near-100% spontaneous rolling up of polar van der Waals materials @NatureMaterials. Congrats Prof Li Zejun @SoutheastUni and his team! Grateful to be part of this collaboration @NUSResearch https://t.co/WWXSPSU7ZC & https://t.co/lcnFuyU7Xa

NUS researchers have pioneered a photocatalytic atom-swapping transformation that converts oxetanes into a variety of four-membered saturated cyclic molecules, which are key scaffolds in medicinal chemistry. https://t.co/fF36lV0pLS

NUS pharmaceutical scientist in a collaborative effort with the University of Tokyo, Japan have developed a method that can measure the kinetic efficiency of an enzyme against more than 200,000 potential peptide substrates in a single experiment. https://t.co/foRDfHQWMw

NUS researchers have devised a method to safely and temporarily “switch off” and then “turn on” ribonucleic acid (RNA) inside cells. This strategy could potentially open new avenues in more precise RNA-based therapeutics and gene editing. https://t.co/Fu2MbrW5YP

Measuring the localization of a drug and its release in nano drug delivery is a challenge. In our latest publication, we measure what others assume. Congrats, Namrata, Yan, Flavio, Roberta, Alberto & Steffen! Read the full story at: https://t.co/MJzrpaZWRs #TheWackerLab #NUS

Our work on De-saturation of #SingleAtomCatalysts for accelerating propargylic substitution reactions is out today in #AdvancedMaterials! @NUSResearch https://t.co/lV3UpG3qkR

NUS researchers have engineered self‑assembling peptides that trap fast‑moving Gram-negative bacteria, preventing their escape and helping to control infection. https://t.co/cBjOUDfkZw

NUS chemists have developed innovative materials that can harness both singlet and triplet excited states for efficient, metal-free photocatalysis. https://t.co/PULN4D3N7Z

High-precision proton beam generation using ultraclean monolayer amorphous carbon @NatureNano @NUSingapore , with teams from Xiao Cheng Zeng @CityUHongKong , and Xiaoxu Zhao @PKU1898. Congrats Huihui Lin, everyone involved!📄 https://t.co/znbX8uAh0i 🔗 https://t.co/qFVFiy291d

Here is a very detailed examination on how pigmentation in the cuticle of a butterfly wing scale changes the density and refractive index of chitin and, thus, also alters structural color.

🌀🌊🔥 Refuge Trifecta! – this new paper by our PhD student Joel Tan shows how intertidal snails (Nerita undata) seek out pits to escape from heat, waves, and predators.🐌

NUS chemists have synthesised a new class of carbon nanostructures: fully π-conjugated, pentagon-embedded non-alternant carbon nanobelts (CNBs), opening avenues for next-generation organic semiconductors and quantum materials. https://t.co/xWDtOvwste
