Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) announced on June 23 that its research team led by Professor Baek Jong-bum of the Energy and Chemical Engineering Department and a team led by Professor Bu Wenfei of the University of Nanjing have jointly developed a new high-efficiency cata

A technique that can easily diagnose cancer with only a small amount of plasma has been developed. Unlike antibody-based technology that diagnoses individual cancers, it can be used as a complementary technology to existing cancer diagnosis because it can diagnose various types of cancer at a time.T

Korean researchers have identified the Down syndrome critical region gene 1 (DSCR1), an intellectual disability-causing factor in Down syndrome, and its mechanism of action for the first time in the world.Adult neurogenesis is the process by which new neurons are created in the hippocampus of the ad

Korean researchers have developed a photocatalyst coating for concrete pavement that can trap and decompose air pollutants when exposed to visible light.The photocatalyst coating decomposes fine dust-causing substances that have subsided on concrete pavement or precast pavers of a sidewalk.Existing

The National Research Foundation of Korea said on June 6 that Professor Choi Young-bin at Seoul National University and Professor Choi Jin-ho at Dankook University have jointly developed a biotransplantation device that injects drugs through near-infrared waves without using a needle. Near-infrared
