- Close to 5 in 10 Singaporeans are open to ride air taxis, which are small autonomous aircraft that carry passengers over short distances. Almost half (45.7%) say they intend to use this mode of transport when it becomes available, with over one-third (36.2%) planning to do so regularly. https://www.ntu.edu.sg/news/detail/close-to-5-in-10-say-they-will-take-air-taxis-in-the-future-study 4 comments science
- Scientists from Singapore developed an artificial ‘worm gut’ to break down plastics, offering hope for a nature-inspired method to tackle global plastic pollution. By feeding worms with plastics and cultivating microbes found in their guts, researchers accelerate plastic biodegradation. https://www.ntu.edu.sg/news/detail/artificial-worm-gut-breaks-down-plastics 31 comments science

- Scientists have developed a low-cost small device (15x20cm) that can harness energy from wind as gentle as a light breeze and store it as electricity. With wind at 2 m/s the device can produce 3 volts and generate power of up to 290 microwatts (sufficient to power a commercial sensor) https://www.ntu.edu.sg/news/detail/a-device-that-converts-the-slightest-breeze-into-electricity 20 comments upliftingnews

- New energy-saving glass. In summer, the glass suppresses solar heating (near infrared), while boosting radiative cooling (long-wave infrared) - a natural phenomenon where heat emits through surfaces towards the cold universe - to cool the room. In winter, it does the opposite to warm up the room. https://www.ntu.edu.sg/news/detail/energy-saving-glass-self-adapts-to-heating-and-cooling-demand 22 comments science
