    [SINGAPORE] Ultra-precise valves, coatings worth more than the surface they are on, and a material that can resist extremes – these are some of the advanced manufacturing innovations that three Singapore companies are working on with the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*Star).

    Launched on Oct 3, the joint research projects will yield new technologies in surface treatment, advanced coatings, and precision manufacturing.

    These can then be applied to sectors such as aerospace, semiconductors, and life sciences.
