New Technology to Manufacture Polymer Composites with Well Dispersed Graphene Particles
Professor YOUN Jae Ryoun Professor YOUN Jae Ryoun (Department of Materials Science) and his research team have developed an innovative method to fabricate polymer composites with well dispersed graphene particles in the matrix resin by using solvent free powder mixing and in-situ polymerization of a low viscosity oligo...

World¡¯s Smallest Bubbles Observed
Professor HONG Byung Hee Professor CHO Sung-Pyo Bubbles are called bubbles because they vanishes so quickly before our eyes. However, bubbles survive quite a long time in nanoscale and affect our lives. Divers¡¯ disease (decompression sickness), for example, is known to be caused by these nano-size bubbles remaining in ...

New Bell-measurement Scheme to Teleport Photons with High Success Probability
Professor KIM Jin-Soo Professor Hyunseok JEONG¡¯s research team (Department of Physics and Astronomy) has developed a new Bell-measurement scheme to teleport photons with high success probability. Photons are a promising candidate for quantum information. But the standard Bell measurement using linear optics and photo d...

Why Targeted Cancer Therapy Seldom Works in Treating Ovarian Cancer
Professor SONG YongSang Professors SONG YongSang (School of Medicine) and Duhee BANG (Yonsei University) have discovered why targeted cancer therapy shows high rates of failure in treating ovarian cancer. The research team collected 11 spatially separated tumor samples from a stage three ovarian cancer patient and perf...
