Functional Intelligent Material Research Institute Singapore National University

The Functional Intelligent Material Research Institute, led by Professor Konstantin Novoselov, who won the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physics in Graphen's research, will be established.

ASIANSCIENTIST -Singapore National University (NUS) will launch the world's first laboratory specializing in the development of functional intelligent materials, leading to a new height.Professor Noboserov, Professor of Material Scientists, and Professor Antonio Castro Neto, Professor Antonio Castro Neto, the Functional Intelligent Material Research Institute (I-FiM) is the latest research center of NUS.・ Excellence (RCE).

Just a few decades ago, smart technology, which can meet our environment and needs, was thought to be a dream of science fiction.Today, a traffic light, home assistant, and door locks that work smartly play an important role in our daily lives.But what if we could go one step further and create high -responsive materials in intelligent?

Materials such as wool and steel generally have fixed characteristics.With the establishment of I-Fim, researchers are trying to create intelligent and adapted materials that change dynamically according to the environment.By utilizing the latest tools such as machine learning and artificial intelligence, I-Fim researchers will be able to develop materials that can be applied to various solutions, from smart batteries to artificial organs.

"I knew enough from the beginning that old technology for material scientists could not work on this problem. We are at the forefront of all world research in this field.I can say, "says Professor Noboserov.

In accordance with NUS's extensive academic approach, the institute focuses on the development of young talents in a wide range of fields, such as engineering, science, computing, and business.In order to enrich the future of Singapore's material science ecosystem, I-Fim plans to provide more than 100 doctoral scholars and more than 100 postdok scholars in the next ten years.

The research conducted by I-FIM is closely linked to the 250 billion Singapore dollar research, innovation and enterprise plan 2025, solves real problems, ensures technology environmentally friendly and affordable.It is expected to be smart.Currently, the team is working hard in the field of water treatment by developing a smart menblene that responds to the environment and maximizes the spills and fluid efficiency.

Professor Castro Nettoshi said, "We are aiming to achieve results not only for Singapore but also for the world," said Castro Neto.It is an interdisciplinary collaboration structure, and one plus 1 can be enlarged in essentially two. "
