✨Welcoming Singapore Land Authority (SLA) to NMC! ✨ On September 9, 2024, the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) had the opportunity to visit the National Metrology Centre (NMC). The tour showcased NMC's metrology capabilities across various fields, including Mass, Acoustics, Optics & Dimension, and the Time Lab. During the visit, Prof. Gregory Goh presented Mr. Sin Lye Chong, Assistant Chief Executive (Geospatial & Engagement) SLA, with NMC’s Jubilee Book, Measure Up. This exchange marked a meaningful moment, highlighting the potential for future collaborations in areas of mutual interest. The meeting sparked enthusiasm for the exciting possibilities ahead in advancing metrology in Singapore.🚀 #Sustainability #Innovation #Metrology #Measurement #ScienceofMeasurement

🎳 Strike Up Some Fun at Our Team Bowling Event! 🌟   Last week, our team traded in our safety shoes for bowling shoes, and what a fantastic time we had! 🎉 From strikes to spares, the laughter and friendly competition filled the lanes as we connected beyond the office walls. It was a fantastic opportunity to unwind, connect, and cheer each other on.   A huge thank you to everyone who participated and made the event so much fun, your energy made the event truly unforgettable!   🎳 Bowling is a perfect mix of precision, accuracy, and a dash of uncertainty! It’s all about consistently hitting your target while navigating those unpredictable lane conditions. Just as bowlers aim for strikes, we strive for consistent results while navigating unpredictable variables. Embrace the journey and keep aiming for excellence 📊🔬 #Research #Innovation #Metrology #Calibration #Bowling #Teambonding

A*STAR Science Awardees (Upper Secondary) Visited NMC on 4 Sep! We are thrilled to host the A*STAR Science Award Upper Secondary awardees in National Metrology Centre (NMC) on September 4th as part of the A*STAR Graduate Academy Research Exposure Programme (REP) in collaboration with the Science Centre Singapore! 🎉 97 bright students from 21 schools had the unique opportunity to explore the world of measurement science and technology at NMC and gain insights on how measurement units are realised physically and propagate throughout science, industry, and society. The visit featured engaging lab tours at several cutting-edge facilities in our AUV (Acoustics, Ultrasound and Vibration), High Voltage, Mass, Length, Chemical and Time labs. A big shoutout to our amazing coordinators, Dr. Ng Wee Hoe & Dr. Connor Peh, and all the lab presenters (Dr Mou Jianqiang, Dr Jing Tao, Mr Kenny, Mr Song Jian, Mr Cui Yuxi, Dr Shilpa Manandhar) for making this an incredible learning experience for the students.

We are pleased to announce that the National Metrology Centre (NMC) officially became a member of the International Measurement Confederation (IMEKO) on 25 August 2024. IMEKO - International Measurement Confederation is a non-governmental federation of 42 Member Organizations individually concerned with the advancement of measurement technology. Established in 1958, IMEKO promotes scientific and technical exchange among experts in measurement and instrumentation from around the world, aiming to enhance research, application, and the dissemination of knowledge in the field. This membership reflects NMC's commitment to advancing metrology and enhancing collaboration with the global measurement community. Through this partnership, NMC aims to contribute to and benefit from IMEKO's extensive network of experts and initiatives in measurement science and technology. We look forward to engaging in fruitful exchanges and contributing to the development of international metrology standards and best practices

A*STAR’s National Metrology Centre and Health Sciences Authority (HSA) were delighted to host trainee teachers from National Institute of Education, Singapore (NIE) as part of our World Metrology Day 2024 celebration. The day commenced with a warm welcome and a lab visit at HSA, followed by a presentation on the realisation and dissemination of the International System of Units (the SI) and visit to labs at NMC.   At NMC, the participants were introduced to cutting-edge facilities of NMC’s Mass, Time, and Acoustics Laboratories where they witnessed accurate and SI-traceable measurements and innovation that drive metrology—bringing the SI units learned in classrooms to life. After the lab tours, the participants networked and exchanged ideas with NMC’s and HSA’s metrologists and scientists during lunch. This event provided an excellent opportunity for our trainee teachers to connect with industry professionals and gain a deeper understanding of the critical role of metrology in our everyday lives and its importance as the backbone of many industries.   If you’re interested in learning more about metrology and the fascinating world of precision measurement, do reach out to us!
