New Study Presents Multiferroicity in Atomic Van Der Waals Heterostructures
Their findings have been published in the journal Nature Communications on June 14, 2019.
Multiferroics are defined as materials that simultaneously exhibit ferromagnetism and ferroelectricity. Such properties make those materials promising building blocks of novel multifunctional materials for a variety of applications. However... Read More
New Study Reveals Graphenes Now Go Monolayer and Single Crystalline
The work by Distinguished Professor Rodney Ruoff has been appeared in Advanced Materials on July 2, 2019.
An international team of researchers, led by Distinguished Professor Rodney S. Ruoff (School of Natural Sciences) from the Center for Multidimensional Carbon Materials (CMCM), within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) at UNIST, has repor... Read More
An Effective Sweeper Closes DNA Replication Cycling
Their findings have been published in Nature Communications June 3, 2019.
DNA replication is essential for living organisms to faithfully deliver genetic information from parental cells to daughter cells. Many proteins are assembled on the parental DNA to work as replication machineries. Among them, the prolifera... Read More
Discover a gene that is responsible for intellectual disability in Down syndrome
“Providing a potential way to treat intellectual disability in Down syndrome”
Professor Kyung-Tai Min’s team at UNIST, Korea discovered that restoring a gene altered in Down syndrome called the Down syndrome critical region 1 (DSCR1) rescued adult neurogenesis and learning and memory defects in a Down syndrome mouse... Read More
New Study Gives Explanation for How to Enlarge 2D Materials as Single Crystals
The work by Distinguished Professor Feng Ding has been appeared in Nature on May 23, 2019.
What makes something a crystal? A transparent and glittery gemstone? Not necessarily in the microscopic world. When all of its atoms are arranged in accordance with specific mathematical rules, we call the material a single crystal. Like th... Read More
Study Opens A New Route to Achieving Mechanical Metamaterials
This work has been published in Science Advances on May 10 2019.
Conventional materials in nature expand perpendicular to the applied pressure, However, some materials act quite differently. Mechanical metamaterials with negative Poisson’s ratio (NPR), contract perpendicular to the applied pressure... Read More
UNIST to Embark on New Era of Micro Modular Reactor
Chair Professor Il Soon Hwang (School of Mechanical Aerospace and Nuclear Engineering) has been selected to lead the 'Nuclear Convergence Multidiscipline Technology Development Program' by MSIT and NRF.
UNIST will embark on a research project to develop safe and economically-friendly ‘Micro Modular Reactor’ in Ulsan. The project will be carried out over a period of four years with the aim of developing the polar and ocean-under... Read More

New Study Unveils Drug-resistant Gene for ‘Miracle’ Cancer Drug Gleevec
Their findings have been published in the March 2019 issue of Autophagy.
An international team of researchers, affilated with UNIST has identified a new gene that causes drug resistance against Novartis’s breakthrough cancer drug, Gleevec (Active ingredient: imatinib). Such finding has received a great dea... Read More
Droplet Trains Reveal How Nature Navigates Blood Traffic
The work by Distinguished Professor Bartosz A. Grzybowski has been appeared in Nature Physics on April 23, 2019.
Nearing a decision point, online traffic maps recommend a less-crowded route over the other ways with several slow spots. For most of us, the choice seems clear. Still, have you ever wondered whether this collectively preferring one path ma... Read More
