Automatic quarantine system to fight against COVID-19
COVID-19 has been the riskiest issue since 2020. In the 21st century, SARS, MERS and Ebola were risks in the world-wide health system, but all of them were successfully eliminated. The main difference between COVID-19 and other diseases is the reality of patients with no symptoms. Many COVID-19 patients can infect others without experiencing any symptoms themselves. Thus, the traditional quarantine system fails for reason. A New quarantine system was developed by combining different known systems attached to a network system. The developed system was installed at Daejeon city hall and has been operating since August of 2021. ...read more

Systematic Design Strategies for Nonaqueous Organic Redox Flow Batteries
Prof. Byon’s group (in collaboration with Prof. Joo’s group at Pusan National University) reported the design principle of organic molecules utilized for non-aqueous organic redox flow batteries (RFBs). By implementing an extended -conjugation, a cationic functional group, and selective anions, they developed highly soluble, stable, and crossover-resistant heteroarylpyridinium in the form of organic redox-active molecules and showed ~90% capacity retention during 100 cycles in RFBs. ...read more

Polaritonic PT symmetric laser in a single microcavity, lowering the threshold energy despite an increase the loss
A KAIST research team led by Professor Yong-Hoon Cho of the Department of Physics develops a new concept of what is termed a parity-time reversal (PT) symmetric laser with highly interactive quantum particles formed in a single microcavity system, improving the lasing performance despite an increase in the loss. The PT symmetric laser developed through this research is expected to be widely applied in areas ranging from classical photonic component with enhanced performance to quantum optical devices in the future....read more
