■ The Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST) introduced on the seventh {that a} analysis crew led by Professor Myunghwan Yoon of the School of Materials Science and Engineering has developed a next-generation catalyst expertise. This expertise makes use of a conductive polymer movie (PEDOT:PSS) to evenly disperse a platinum (Pt) catalyst for hydrogen production all through its interior, not simply on the electrode floor. The crew created a porous nanofiber construction with inner microchannels by means of sulfuric acid therapy and used a pulsed electrodeposition course of to guarantee uniform penetration of platinum into the movie. This strategy is predicted to assist resolve the high-cost catalyst drawback by reaching excessive hydrogen production efficiency with a smaller quantity of platinum.
■ Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) introduced on the seventh that Professor Junsuk Rho of the Departments of Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, and Electrical Engineering, and the Graduate School of Convergence Science and Technology, has been appointed as an Associate Editor for the worldwide tutorial journal ‘Applied Physics Letters (APL)’. His three-year time period begins on April 1, 2026. He shall be liable for enhancing papers within the fields of metamaterials, nanophotonics, nanofabrication, and nanodevices. APL is a prestigious worldwide journal with a 65-year historical past revealed by the American Institute of Physics (AIP).
