Under the road map, the R&D center [...]
SEOUL, Jun. 25 (Korea Bizwire) — South Korean astronomers have discovered an asteroid that could potentially collide with Earth, although the odds are extremely low, marking the first finding of a hazardous asteroid by the country’s scientists, a state-run science institute said Tuesday. The potentially hazardous astroid (PHA), provisionally labeled 2018 PP29, earlier this month [...]
DAEJEON, Jun. 20 (Korea Bizwire) — A research team at the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology has developed high-strength and thermal resisting super bioplastics that do not contain any harmful chemicals. Thanks to its unrivaled convenience, plastic, which is widely used in our society, has recently been cited as the main culprit for environmental [...]
DAEJEON, Jun. 20 (Korea Bizwire) — South Korean researchers are working hard to commercialize the innovative idea of applying plasma technology to the agricultural sector. Plasma is a state that occurs when a gas is added with more energy. It is also referred to as the fourth state of matter, where electrons and ion nuclei [...]
SEOUL, Jun. 17 (Korea Bizwire) — A South Korean research institute said Monday that it has developed a technology to make solid-state batteries that are very compact and safe for use in next generation electric cars and energy storage systems (ESSs). The all-solid battery replaces the liquid electrolyte found between the positive and negative poles [...]
SEOUL, Jun. 11 (Korea Bizwire) — A group of South Korean researchers has developed a new nanogenerator that can harness commonplace static energy to power various electronic devices. The new energy harvesting system uses a so-called vapor capsulation casting method to create a special silicon “sponge” that goes into the generator, according to the Korea [...]
DAEJEON, Jun. 11 (Korea Bizwire) — A technology that can pinpoint the exact location of a user by collecting wireless signals from smartphones has been developed. The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) announced on Monday that a research team led by Prof. Han Dong-soo has developed technology that can be used to [...]
