NTU Singapore launches four new Master's programmes leveraging advancements in AI
Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) is launching four new master’s degree programmes in 2026 to prepare professionals for the opportunities and challenges of an AI-driven future.
The programmes are:
• Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIMed),
• Master of Arts in Digital Humanities (MADH),
• Master of Science in Enterprise Artificial Intelligence (Enterprise AI), and
• Master of Science (Chinese Medicine).
AIMed will train healthcare professionals, engineers and technologists to apply AI responsibly in clinical settings; MADH, the first of its kind in Singapore, will connect digital tools with humanistic inquiry to address the cultural and ethical dimensions of digitalisation; Enterprise AI will produce “AI-savvy” professionals who can translate AI potential into enterprise value; and the MSc in Chinese Medicine will advance holistic healthcare by combining traditional Chinese Medicine knowledge with modern clinical and research practices.
These programmes are designed to tackle pressing challenges in healthcare, business, culture, and holistic medicine, while advancing Singapore’s priorities in cultivating a future-ready workforce, driving responsible AI adoption, and reinforcing the nation’s standing as a trusted global hub for innovation and integrative healthcare.
Vanadium is a critical raw material. The metal can be used to build so-called redox flow batteries, which store electricity more permanently than lithium-ion batteries. This makes them an important building block for the energy transition. However, the supply of vanadium is still inadequate, and price volatility is curbing investment. A database created by researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI is supposed to rectify this.
Researchers from the Freunberger group at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) have unveiled pivotal insights into the redox chemistry of oxygen and reactive oxygen species (ROS). While some ROS play essential roles in cell signaling, the particularly harmful singlet oxygen damages cells and degrades batteries. For the first time, the team uncovers a way to tune it. The results, published in Nature, could have broad applications, including in energy storage processes.
