ATLANT 3D and NUS Sign MoU to Establish AI-Driven Materials Research Center in Singapore

Apr 16, 2026
ATLANT 3D and the National University of Singapore have signed an MoU to create a joint AI-driven materials discovery foundry at the CREATE campus, focusing on 2D materials, nanoelectronics, and advanced semiconductor packaging.

ATLANT 3D and the National University of Singapore have signed a memorandum of understanding to establish a shared AI-driven materials discovery foundry in Singapore, announced in a press release.

The new center will operate within the CREATE (Campus for Research Excellence and Technological Enterprise) robotic lab and will integrate ATLANT 3D’s DALP technology, which functions at the atomic scale, into the Intelligent Functional Materials Institute’s (I-FIM) research hub. The collaboration aims to accelerate material innovation through automation and artificial intelligence.

Research at the facility will focus on 2D materials, nanoelectronics, advanced semiconductor packaging, quantum materials, catalytic materials discovery, and photonics. The initiative will also support Singapore’s National Research Foundation’s AI for Science program.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
