About this collection
The National University of Singapore began as a modest medical school in 1905 and went through several evolutions until formally becoming the National University of Singapore (NUS) in 1980. Now, 45 years later and 120 years after its initial foundation, NUS is a leading global university, recognized for its research excellence and diverse academic programs and plays a key role in the furthering of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
This cross-journal collection will highlight the breadth of high-quality work of the institute by featuring articles from researchers currently affiliated with NUS, esteemed alumni, and researchers with strong connections and extensive collaborations with the university. The collection will cover the most recent research progress across the breadth of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
