NEMS

NEWRI Environmental

Master of Science

NEWRI: Nanyang Environment & Water Research Institute

Be a leader in environmental science and engineering through the NEMS programme

NEWRI Environmental Master of Science（NEMS） is a primary graduate education and research programme conducted by Nanyang Technological University’s （NTU’s） NEWRI, with summer attachment at Stanford University.  It aims to train engineers and scientists to meet the increasing environmental challenges for Asia and the wider region. 

NEWRI-Nanyang Environment &

Water Research Institute

NEWRI is enabling Singapore to be a global center of environmental science and technology in providing technological solutions to the world.

It is committed to environmental and water technologies through its ecosystem of education, research and developmental activities. 

NEWRI is trying its best to pull together NTU’s water and environment-related centers and institutes, gathering one another’s strengths for the benefit of industry and society.

Master of Science Applications

●Applications open now and close on 30 May 2012 for Singapore applicants. 

●Graduates having relevant engineering or science background, including final-year students, are invited to apply. 

●Applicants are required to have a certificate of GRE. 

Further information and application materials are available at the Website:

www.ntu.edu.sg/cee/program/postgrad.asp

Highlights of Programme:

★Students spend a full summer term at Stanford taking regular courses and continue with the rest of their academic programme at NTU. 

★It is a 12-month full-time course in environmental science & engineering. 

★Students under NEMS will have opportunities to do research projects under NEWRI as well as to continue for the Doctor’s degree. 

★Graduating students receive the NTU degree and a certificate from Stanford for their summer attachment. 

Scholarship for tuition grants and living expenses at both Stanford and NTU are available

Batteries can power anything from small sensors to large systems. While scientists are finding ways to make them smaller but even more powerful, problems can arise when these batteries are much larger and heavier than the devices themselves. University of Missouri(MU) researchers are developing a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.

  “To provide enough power, we need certain methods with high energy density(密度)”，said Jae Kwon, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at MU. “The radioisotope(放射性同位素) battery can provide power density that is much higher than chemical batteries.”

  Kwon and his research team have been working on building a small nuclear battery, presently the size and thickness of a penny, intended to power various micro/nanoelectromechanreal systems (M/NEMS). Although nuclear batteries can cause concerns, Kwon said they are safe.

  “People hear the word ‘nuclear’ and think of something very dangerous,” he said, “However, nuclear power sources have already been safely powering a variety of devices, such as pace-makers, space satellites and underwater systems.”

  His new idea is not only in the battery’s size, but also in its semiconductor(半導(dǎo)體). Kwon’s battery uses a liquid semiconductor rather than a solid semiconductor.

  “The key part of using a radioactive battery is that when you harvest the energy, part of the radiation energy can damage the lattice structure(晶體結(jié)構(gòu)) of the solid semiconductor,” Kwon said, “By using a liquid semiconductor, we believe we can minimize that problem.”

  Together with J. David Robertson, chemistry professor and associate director of the MU Research Reactor, Kwon is working to build and test the battery. In the future, they hope to increase the battery’s power, shrink its size and try with various other materials. Kwon said that battery could be thinner than the thickness of human hair.

Which of the following is true of Jae Kwon?

A. He teaches chemistry at MU.    

B. He developed a chemical battery.

C. He is working on a nuclear energy source.

D. He made a breakthrough in computer engineering.

Jae Kwon gave examples in Paragraph 4_________.

A. to show chemical batteries are widely applied.  

B. to introduce nuclear batteries can be safely used.

C. to describe a nuclear-powered system.         

D. to introduce various energy sources.

Liquid semiconductor is used to _________.

A. get rid of the radioactive waste       

B. test the power of nuclear batteries.

C. decrease the size of nuclear batteries  

D. reduce the damage to lattice structure.

According to Jae Kwon, his nuclear battery _______.

A. uses a solid semiconductor        B. will soon replace the present ones.

C. could be extremely thin            D. has passed the final test.

The text is most probably a ________.

A. science news report        B. book review   

C. newspaper ad           D. science fiction story
