POSTECH develops an innovative platform that replicates pancreatic functions, transforming diabetes therapy.

Researchers injected CO₂ gas into seawater while applying an electrical current. The process transformed dissolved ions, minerals in seawater into clusters of solid particles. The clusters hold over half their weight in CO₂ to become a carbon sink. Material could replace sand in concrete and be used in other construction materials while trapping CO₂.

The research conducted by South Korea's Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST), Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie (HZB), Heinz Maier Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ), and Soongsil University has been published in Nature Communications on February 27, 2025. This advancement can be applied to develop sustainable isotope separation technologies using existing LNG cryogenic infrastructure.

Research on the flexible hybrid epidermal electronic system (FHEES) has attracted considerable attention due to its potential applications in human-machine interaction and healthcare. However, the heterogeneous integration of soft and stiff components makes balancing comfort and performance in designing and implementing FHEESs challenging. A new study, published in Research, reviews multimodal FHEESs in two types: all-in-one and assembled, highlighting the design challenge with different heterogeneous integration strategies.

Dr. Han's team at KERI develops nano-based 'high-energy lightweight wire' technology.

Through collaborative research with KIMS and Konkuk University, the performance of carbon nanotube wires was verified.

An AI-powered robot that can prepare cups of coffee in a busy kitchen could usher in the next generation of intelligent machines, a study suggests.
