Polymeric Membrane Coating Enhances Gas Detection Performance of Organic Field-Effect Transistors for Electronic Nose
2024-04-26 Research
Professor Bright Walker’s team from the Department of Chemistry and Professor Mallory Mativenga’s team from the Department of Physics have developed a groundbreaking approach to electronic nose (E-nose) technology based on field-effect transistors (OFETs). E-noses, which emulate the function of olfactory organs, are pivotal for quantifying volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and find applications in real-time monitoring across various industries, including food, healthcare, and law enforcement. The team’s innovative E-nose demonstrates superior detection capabilities compared to others now on the market, all while being cost-effective for mass production.Read More -

Exploring the Relationship Between Buildings and People
2024-04-12 Academic
Professor Geun Young Yun was selected as a Kyung Hee Fellow (researcher) in recognition of his contribution to world-class research results in the fields of urban climate change and energy efficiency in buildings. His main research interest is the relationship between buildings and people, as he has investigated the lives of people living in buildings and conducted multi-faceted research on how to provide building users with a comfortable and healthy environment, how people use buildings, and how the building environment affects people. Modern buildings consume a large amount of energy and are a major cause of global warming. Buildings and groupings of buildings also affect the surrounding environment and the urban environment. Professor Yun explained, “We are expanding our research starting from people and architecture to building energy generated at the city level.” In 2017, the research bore fruit by joining the top promising new 100 technologies that will lead Korea in 2025 selected by the National Academy of Engineering of Korea.Read More -
Artificial Intelligence Leading a Performance Breakthrough in Next-Generation Battery
2024-04-12 Research
As electric vehicles become the main focus of sustainable, eco-friendly next-generation transportation, the search for better and cheaper rechargeable batteries is also intensifying. While the current mainstay is lithium-ion batteries, research on sodium-ion batteries is actively underway to make rechargeable batteries more economical by replacing lithium, the expensive rare-earth material, with sodium, one of the most abundant elements on Earth. But sodium-ion batteries have not yet reached the point of commercial viability due to the capacity erosion after charging and issues of performance instability.Read More
