“We found that sheltered walkways and proximity to MRT/LRT stations significantly increase older adults' engagement in transport physical activity, which has a bi-directional relationship with the number of "three-High" chronic diseases. We also found that proximity to parks encourage more recreational physical activity, which reciprocally influences older adults' functional capacity.”--- Yuting Hou and Belinda Yuen

“Mother-of-pearl, the shells housing the adorable pearls, are amongst nature’s strongest materials. Here we mimic their composite structure by using constituents similar to that of the shell. The resultant composite offers high strength and stiffness along with biocompatibility, paving way for new and enhanced sustainable materials for potential biomedical applications.”--- Hemant Kumar Raut

“The study found the Singapore public acceptance of the planned implementation of public transport autonomous vehicles. Concerns surrounding technical-related issues and legal liability exist, with respondents sharing the desire for human operators to play an active role and for the government to lead the testing and clarification of legal liability.”--- Samuel Chng and Lynette Cheah
