SEOUL, Dec. 30 (Korea Bizwire) – South Korea’s ICT ministry said Thursday that a joint research team from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology, Seoul National University and Stanford University in the U.S. had succeeded in developing an intelligent electronic skin. The types of electronic skin developed so far are inconvenient since they are large [...]
SEOUL, Dec. 29 (Korea Bizwire) — The Korea Institute of Science and Technology said Wednesday it has developed a new technology that can replace high-temperature, high-pressure energy used for the production of hydrogen peroxide with photovoltaic energy, thus improving overall productivity. Hydrogen peroxide is a core material used in chip production. However, a stable supply of hydrogen peroxide is uncertain due to [...]
SEOUL, Dec. 28 (Korea Bizwire) — South Korea’s unmanned space vehicle Danuri has successfully entered the orbit of the moon earlier than planned, the science ministry said Wednesday.
