Top international scientists meet in Singapore
R&D industry in Singapore
SINGAPORE: Some 120 top international scientists including Nobel Laureates, Prof Ada Yonath and Prof Kurt Wuthrich are now in Singapore to discuss cross—disciplinary science.
They are here for the 2nd Molecular Materials Meeting (M3) @ Singapore 2012 organised by A*STAR’s Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE).
Molecular materials science cuts across fields like chemistry, materials science, physics, biology, medicine and engineering.
For example, by combining chemistry and physics know—how, molecular materials research is used to examine the structure, alignment of molecules and crystallinity of common materials, and alters them to produce new materials with unique properties.
The speakers will cover research topics on Materials Synthesis, Assembly & Device Fabrication, Energy & Sustainable Materials, Optical & Electronic Materials, and Materials for Imaging & Sensing.
The meeting is on from January 9—11 at Level 4, Matrix Building at Biopolis, Singapore.
