Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) is launching three new space projects under Singapore’s Space Technology Development Programme (STDP), marking a major step in accelerating the commercialisation of space technologies developed in Singapore. Among the projects is a satellite that will carry edge-computing artificial intelligence capable of processing data directly in space. Images captured by the satellite will be analysed on board using small AI models and an edge engine, reducing the need to transmit large volumes of raw data back to Earth and enabling faster, more intelligent decision-making in orbit.
By creating a 'little bit of the Universe in a bottle' in her lab, a PhD student in physics has reverse-engineered the chemical cocktails produced by stars to better understand how cosmic dust might have provided the building blocks of life.
LMU physicist Leonardos Gkouvelis has found a mathematical solution for investigating the atmospheres of distant worlds.
