Space Agency Develops Astronomical Telescope that Can Observe Low-surface-brightness Celestial Objects

DAEJEON, Sept. 1 (Korea Bizwire) — The Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) has developed an astronomical telescope that can observe ultra-low-surface-brightness (LSB) celestial objects thousands of times darker than the night sky, using home-grown technology. The research team recently installed a test model of the KASI-Deep Rolling Imaging Fast optics Telescope (K-DRIFT) at [...]

Korean Scientists Develop 3D Printing Ink Material Using Sunflower Pollen

SEOUL, Aug. 31 (Korea Bizwire) — A group of South Korean scientists have succeeded in developing a 3D printing ink material using sunflower pollen. A research team led by professor Cho Nam-joon of Nanyang Technological University in Singapore has found a way to use sunflower pollen to develop a 3D printing ink material. After incubating [...]

Core Component of Naval Ships Repaired Using 3D Printing Technology

CHONAN, Aug. 19 (Korea Bizwire) — The Korea Institute of Industrial Technology (KITECH) has succeeded in repairing the ‘central axis of reducer,’ a core component of naval ships, using metal 3D printing technology. The central axis of reducer plays the role of reducing the speed of a fast-rotating engine as well as controlling the torque. [...]
