Researchers Develop AI System to Create User-friendly Mobile Apps
Their findings have been published online via the ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems.
A new artificial intelligence (AI) system has been developed to help ordinary untrained people to design and create applications and software for smartphones and personal computers. With the help of this system, non-designers can quickly an... Read More
New Study Presents Highly-Active Ozygenated Groups in Carbon Materials for Oxygen Reduction to H2O2
Their findings have been published in Nature Communications on May 5, 2020.
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has found many applications in the modern industry, including acting as a green oxidant in disinfectants, bleaching agents, sanitizing agents, chemical synthesis, and even as a potential energy carrier. A new cataly... Read More
New Study Presents Anti-Aging Electrolyte Additive for High-Energy-Density Li-ion Batteries
Their findings have been published in Advanced Energy Materials on April 6, 2020.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS), which is known to be a main contributor to the aging process, also adversely affects battery performance and life. Indeed, when the ROS is released from the high-capacity electrode materials for lithium-ion ba... Read More
New Study Reveals Tuning the Surface Gives Variations to Metal Foils
Their findings have been published in Nature (IF 43.070) on May 28, 2020.
A4 paper-sized single-crystal metal foils with various surface structures are obtained by seeded annealing.
Just as cloning in biology allows for the creation of one or more replicas of the exact same genes, seeded growth in chemistry can produce a very large metal foil with the exact same surface texture as that of a seeded one. Seeded growth is... Read More
When A Spinning Toy Meets Hydrodynamics: Point-of-care Technology Is Set in Motion
Their findings have been published in Nature Biomedical Engineering on May 19, 2020.
A fidget spinner inspired microfluidic chip can diagnose infectious diseases at the time and place of patient care.
About 60% of women will experience urinary tract infection (UTI) at least once in their lifetime. With antibiotic-resistant organisms increasing, UTI is likely to bring more of the health and economic burden. To turn things around, point of... Read More
New Study Presents Hydrogen-Bond Free Energy of Local Biological Water
Their work has been selected as 'Hot Paper' and highlighted as the back cover of the April 2020 edition of Angewandte Chemie International Edition.
Water, which makes up more than half of the human body, is an essential participant in the structure and function of proteins. Hormones and enzymes are also proteins, and thus are responsible for the biological function of the human body. T... Read More
New Study Presents Vertical 2D Layered Fused Aromatic Ladder Structure
Their findings have been published in Nature Communications on April 24, 2020.
A research team, led by Professor Jong-Beom Baek in the School of Energy and Chemical Engineering at UNIST has designed and synthesized a vertical two-dimensional (2D) layered structure to develop materials that exhibit excellent performanc... Read More
