Vivek Vasantha at A * STAR Institute of Chemical and Engineering Sciences — together with scientists from across Singapore under the Innovative Marine Antifouling Solutions (IMAS) program —
developed a new block copolymer that can self - assemble into spherical micelle
structures in which one monomer forms the core and the other forms the outer
shell.
At the Vienna University of Technology, a completely new construction method has been
developed, which does not require any timber
structures at all: a flat concrete slab hardens on the ground, and then an air cushion below the plate is inflated, bending the concrete and quickly forming a sustainable
shell.
Toward a Cure
Developing effective treatments against the virus required researchers to understand the
structure of the various proteins that formed its outer
shell, as well as the precise sequence of its genetic material, which is made up of RNA — a process that took the better part of the 1990s and involved researchers working around the globe in government, academia and industry.
Works in various scale create dynamic spatial relationships: a metal
structure covered with accumulated bottles sits on the floor, informed by vernacular architecture as well as the cotillion, a social dance originating in France in the 18th century and further
developed by African Americans in the United States; and a chandelier of oversized cowrie
shells hangs dramatically within a large and site - specific yurt - like
