A research team led by Dr. Hyun-Tak Kim at the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT), in collaboration with Prof. Young-Jin Kim of Kyungpook National University, Prof. Geunsik Lee of UNIST, and Prof. Sang-Joon Kim of Chungnam National University, has developed a dual-atom catalyst precisely engineered at the atomic level. The catalyst enables stable conversion of CO₂ to

Researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine) have developed a revolutionary new method to improve compact gene-editing tools known as base editors, which enable smaller, more precise DNA correction tools that may be safer for future gene therapies.Researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine) have developed a revolutionary new method to improve compact gene-editing tools known as base editors, which enable smaller, more precise DNA correction tools that may be safer for future gene therapies.

The introduction of vision-enabled artificial intelligence (AI) to medical scribes – the recording devices used by doctors to document meetings with patients in real-time – could increase the accuracy of patient notes and save valuable time for clinicians.Researchers found that a vision-enabled AI scribe, employing a combination of Google’s Gemini model and Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, substantially improved the documentation accuracy of pharmacist-patient consultations and reduced omissions and errors in clinical notes.

In this study, researchers developed a regional modeling framework to characterize and quantify how forests in the northeastern United States may respond to ongoing environmental change by the mid-21st century, with particular emphasis on the complex interactions occurring in urbanized landscapes.

A paper titled "Tip-enhanced sum frequency generation spectroscopy using temporally asymmetric pulse for detecting weak vibrational signals," published on February 19, 2026 by a research team from the Institute for Molecular Science (Atsunori Sakurai, Shota Takahashi, Tatsuto Mochizuki, and Toshiki Sugimoto) and Tohoku University (Tomonori Hirano and Akihiro Morita), has been selected as a "Featured Article" in The Journal of Chemical Physics, published by the American Institute of Physics (AIP), in recognition of its particularly noteworthy research.

Researchers analyzed more than 35,000 images of women’s clothing spanning from 1869 to today. Team measured features like hemlines, necklines and waistlines. Mathematical model shows styles tend to rise in popularity, fall out of favor and return to popularity roughly every 20 years.
