The new "rare metal age" : new challenges and implications of critical raw materials supply security in the 21st century
Published 2020“…When Beijing threatened to restrict China’s export of rare earths (widely used in numerous important civilian and military technologies) to the United States at the end of May 2019, the world was reminded of China’s rare earths export disruption in the autumn of 2010 amid a maritime territorial conflict between China and Japan. In the past few years, the worldwide attention cast on the future supply security of rare earths and other critical raw materials has increased in the United States, the European Union, Japan and other countries owing to the global expansion of “green technologies” (including renewable energy sources, electric vehicles and batteries, and smart grids) and digitalisation as well as equipment and devices embedded with artificial intelligence. …”

Peptide asparaginyl ligases—renegade peptide bond makers
Published 2021“…Butelase-1 specifically recognizes a C-terminal Asx-containing tripeptide motif, Asn/Asp-Xaa-Yaa (Xaa and Yaa are any amino acids), to form a site-specific Asn-Xaa peptide bond either intramolecularly as cyclic proteins or intermolecularly as modified proteins. Our work in the past five years has validated that butelase-1 is a potent and versatile ligase. …”

A gate of dragon's teeth : a decolonial approach to writing precolonial historical fiction in Singapore
Published 2022“…Through the use of immersive detail, fantastical elements and a focus on marginal figures in society, the work prompts readers to reappraise their assumptions about what might constitute a glorious historical past for the nation of Singapore. The exegesis applies the principles of decolonial theory to the creation of novels in this genre, with particular regard to deimperialisation and Walter Mignolo’s model of the colonial matrix of power. …”
