Domestic researchers have developed a technology to create biodegradable plastic fibers using Escherichia coli. Plastics are not easily decomposed, causing significant harm to ecosystems and exacerbating environmental pollution as they originate from petroleum. The plastics produced by Escherichia c...
The gas and dust floating in space resemble sharks, hence the name "Shark Nebula" for LDN 1235. It is located about 650 light-years away from Earth (one light-year is the distance light travels in one year, approximately 9.46 trillion kilometers). The dark dust seen in this image possesses propertie...
Photosynthetic microorganisms, also known as microalgae, are 'nature's small factories' that absorb carbon dioxide from the air and produce useful substances. However, to maximize their capabilities, precise gene editing technology is essential. Domestic researchers have developed a technique to edi...
NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suny Williams are finally returning to Earth after a 9-month stay at the International Space Station (ISS). They originally set off on an 8-day schedule, but their return timeline was delayed by about 9 months due to a technical defect in the Boeing 'Starliner' spac...
A domestic research team has developed a new technology that can produce 'metasurfaces,' the key to next-generation display technology, more efficiently. Professor Noh Jun-seok of Pohang University of Science and Technology POSTECH’s mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, electrical engineeri...
Plants absorb sunlight and produce glucose and oxygen from water and carbon dioxide. This is photosynthesis. Scientists have been researching 'artificial photosynthesis' technology to convert carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into useful compounds by mimicking plants. Recently, two research teams do...
Cervical cancer, which is diagnosed in 600,000 people worldwide each year, is one of the leading cancers threatening women's health. Domestic researchers have unveiled the characteristics and developmental processes of cervical stem cells and suggested a new possibility that Searo may prevent cervic...
Around 150 million years ago, when dinosaurs ruled the Earth, research results suggest that early mammals were likely covered in dark brown fur. This indicates that mammals at the time were primarily nocturnal and may have utilized protective coloration to hide from predators. An international resea...
The Korea Institute of Industrial Technology (KITECH) held the 'Corporate Cooperation Hyper Connect 2025' for tech commercialization for mutual growth on the afternoon of the 13th at the Korea Science and Technology Center. This event was organized to introduce the digital corporate cooperation plat...
The Ministry of Science and ICT and academia, along with the media, are collaborating to establish a Korean-style Science Media Center (tentative name). This initiative aims to strengthen the consolidation between science and social issues, and to facilitate communication between researchers and the...
