■ POSTECH introduced on the 4th {that a} analysis group led by Professor Kyung-Deok Park of the Department of Physics and Department of Semiconductor Engineering has developed an optical information storage expertise able to storing a whole bunch of hundreds of instances extra info than current strategies. The findings had been featured as a canopy article within the worldwide nanoscience journal ‘ACS Nano’. The group devised a technique to encode greater than two items of knowledge in a single cell by dividing the emission brightness of ‘excitons’—particles fashioned by the mix of sunshine and electrons inside a semiconductor—into a number of ranges. They efficiently demonstrated at the very least three emission states in a single cell about 60 nm in measurement and in addition established a basis for stacking gadgets extra densely by lowering the storage layer thickness to fifteen nm or much less.
■ UNIST introduced on the 4th {that a} joint analysis group with Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, led by Professor Seok-Hyung Lee of the Department of Physics, has mathematically confirmed the circumstances underneath which the results of quantum catalysts might be maintained even in noisy, real-world environments. The findings had been printed on the sixth of final month within the prestigious physics journal ‘Physical Review Letters’. A quantum catalyst is a quantum useful resource that permits quantum state transformations that may in any other case be not possible, with out being consumed itself. The group revealed that typical quantum catalysis strategies are progressively degraded by minute noise, making repeated use troublesome, and that solely the ‘catalytic channel’ methodology can preserve a secure catalytic impact. The analysis supplies a suggestion for designing noise-resistant constructions in quantum laptop circuit optimization or quantum warmth engine design.
■ GIST (Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology) introduced on the 4th {that a} joint analysis group with the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology, led by Professor Jin-Hee Ahn of the Department of Chemistry, has developed ‘GM-91466,’ a brand new small-molecule drug candidate for treating Dravet syndrome, a refractory childhood epilepsy. The findings had been printed on January 23 within the ‘Journal of Medicinal Chemistry,’ a global journal within the area of medicinal chemistry. Dravet syndrome is a uncommon neurological dysfunction that causes recurrent convulsive seizures, usually growing inside the first yr of life. ‘GM-91466’ works by rising the expression of ‘tryptophan hydroxylase,’ a serotonin-producing enzyme, thereby elevating serotonin ranges. In animal mannequin experiments, it considerably diminished the frequency and depth of seizures, and no specific abnormalities had been noticed in preclinical security evaluations.
■ DGIST (Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology) introduced on the 4th that Seung-Yoon Kim, CEO of the coed startup ‘BROZ,’ and Ji-Eun Lee, CEO of ‘REFEEL,’ have been named to the ‘2026 Forbes Korea 30 Under 30’ record. Seung-Yoon Kim was listed within the ‘Consumer Tech’ class, and Ji-Eun Lee was listed within the ‘Social Impact’ class. BROZ is addressing the digital transformation wants of huge companies with its core expertise, ‘FAVIEW,’ an AI-based 3D area auto-generation resolution, whereas REFEEL is commercializing expertise that develops small- and medium-sized carbon dioxide seize gadgets and converts the captured carbon into eco-friendly carbonates.
