The Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM, President Seog-Hyeon Ryu), under the National Research Council of Science & Technology (NST), will host the 2025 Global Forum on Mechanical Engineering on September 26 (Friday) at the National Assembly Library Auditorium in Seoul. The forum is co-organized with National Assembly members Seung-Rae Cho and Jung-A Hwang of the Democratic Party of Korea, and Hyung-Doo Choi and Chung-Kwon Park of the People Power Party.

Researchers at AIMR and NUS have demonstrated field-free, energy-efficient switching of perpendicular magnetization using magnon torques in a WTe₂/NiO/CoFeB heterostructure. By exploiting crystal symmetry and spin canting, they achieved low-current operation with minimal impact of Joule heating—offering a promising path toward scalable, low-power spintronic memory devices based on magnon transport.

Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) has successfully demonstrated a 200 Gbps 6G wireless link, marking a world first, using a proof-of-concept (PoC) system developed late last year. The 6G system developed by ETRI uses an ultra-wide bandwidth of 10 GHz around 160 GHz in the sub-terahertz (sub-THz) band.

After a stay at the intensive care unit (ICU), many patients experience long-lasting psychological issues collectively known as post-intensive care syndrome; however, effective management interventions remain limited. In a recent study, researchers from Israel explored whether videoart could reduce stress-related symptoms among ICU patients. Although the short-term effects were not significant, patients exposed to videoart reported fewer severe stress symptoms a year after discharge, highlighting its potential as an effective technique to support psychological recovery.

In Texas, surface mine reclamation is a decades-long process – one that requires scientific precision, environmental insight and strong collaboration.

For nearly 50 years, Texas A&M AgriLife has worked alongside lignite mining companies, regulators and land professionals to support the recovery of mined lands through research-based guidance, workforce development and long-term planning.
