The scientists deployed air sampling devices in combination with an ultra-low biomass analysis approach

A joint team of researchers in Singapore have have developed a capability to detect airborne SARS-CoV-2 RNA – the nucleic acid coding for the virus

Scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore have developed a reusable 'nanotech mask' that can block 99.9 per cent of bacteria, viruses and particulate matter, as well as kill bacteria in just 45 seconds.

The porous biomaterial, which contains the same compounds that are predominant in bones, acts as a scaffold for bone-forming cells to adhere to and multiply, leading to the formation of new bone. Through laboratory experiments, the NTU Singapore team found that human bone-forming cells seeded onto the biomaterial scaffold successfully attached themselves and started multiplyi...

Now, an international research team led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has proposed a new way of unde...
