Researchers develop film-like soft robot actuator capable of detecting methanol in water
SEOUL -- Researchers from a prominent state research institute have developed a film-like soft robot composed of chiroptical photonic crystals, which are optical nanostructures, that can detect methanol (CH3OH) in water. The robot can also fold, bend, and twist in response to external stimuli. Chiroptic is a term referring to the optical technique that uses refraction, absorption, or emission of anisotropic radiation for investigating chiral substances including methanol (CH3OH), 2

Researchers find possibilities of agricultural contaminants speeding up human aging
SEOUL -- Researchers developed a smart technology capable of predicting how agricultural contaminants can damage the environment and the human body. It was discovered that contaminants generated during crop production can accelerate the aging process of mammals including humans. It's been difficult to identify how harmful factors from crop production affect the ecosystem and human health. However, accurate analysis and prediction are essential as farm contaminants can be leaked

State institute develops reliable AI with keen physics insights for video image restoration
SEOUL -- A research team from a prominent state research institute has developed artificial intelligence that can predict variables based on the law of physics. The AI would be ideal for comparing medical images for an accurate diagnosis of diseases or for detecting defects at a semiconductor factory. While an ordinary video clip with clear images can be analyzed by an AI-based solution, other video clips that have diffracted images and objects blurred by movement are difficult t
