Celebrating 120 years of excellence: National University of Singapore (NUS)

Abstract

This themed collection in the nanoscale family of journals (Nanoscale Horizons, Nanoscale and Nanoscale Advances) commemorates the 120th anniversary of the National University of Singapore (NUS). Founded in 1905 as a medical school, NUS has evolved into a world-leading university with a strong global presence. Over the past century, it has expanded far beyond its medical origins to become a comprehensive, research-intensive institution. Today, NUS is internationally recognized for its excellence in research, education, and innovation. Among its key strengths, nanoscience and nanotechnology stand out as a key area where the university continues to advance the frontiers of discovery, technological innovation, and real-world application.
