A Large‐Scale Array of Ordered Graphene‐Sandwiched Chambers for Quantitative Liquid‐Phase Transmission Electron Microscopy
Prof. Jungwon Park
Liquid‐phase transmission electron microscopy (TEM) offers a real‐time microscopic observation of the nanometer scale for understanding the underlying mechanisms of the growth, etching, and interactions of colloidal nanoparticles. Despite such unique capability and potential application in diverse fields of analytical ...

Monolithic digital patterning of polydimethylsiloxane with successive laser pyrolysis
Prof. Seung Hwan Ko & Prof. Noo Li Jeon
The patterning of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) into complex two-dimensional (2D) or 3D shapes is a crucial step for diverse applications based on soft lithography. Nevertheless, mould replication that incorporates time-consuming and costly photolithography processes still remains the dominant technology in the field. He...

Quantum distance and anomalous Landau levels of flat bands
Prof. Bohm-Jung Yang
Semiclassical quantization of electronic states under a magnetic field, as proposed by Onsager, describes not only the Landau level spectrum but also the geometric responses of metals under a magnetic field. Even in graphene with relativistic energy dispersion, Onsager’s rule correctly describes the π Berry phase, as w...

Urolithin A suppresses high glucose-induced neuronal amyloidogenesis by modulating TGM2-dependent ER-mitochondria contacts and calcium homeostasis
Prof. Ho Jae Han
Hyperglycemia in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients is a causative factor for amyloidogenesis and induces neuropathological changes, such as impaired neuronal integrity, neurodegeneration, and cognitive impairment.

Resource-Efficient Topological Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computation with Hybrid Entanglement of Light
Prof. Hyunseok Jeong
We propose an all-linear-optical scheme to ballistically generate a cluster state for measurement-based topological fault-tolerant quantum computation using hybrid photonic qubits entangled in a continuous-discrete domain.

Topological Hyperbolic Lattices
Prof. Namkyoo Park
Non-Euclidean geometry, discovered by negating Euclid’s parallel postulate, has been of considerable interest in mathematics and related fields for the description of geographical coordinates, Internet infrastructures, and the general theory of relativity.

Water Passivation of Perovskite Nanocrystals Enables Air‐Stable Intrinsically Stretchable Color‐Conversion Layers for Stretchable Displays
Prof. Tae-Woo Lee
Conventional organic light‐emitting devices without an encapsulation layer are susceptible to degradation when exposed to air, so realization of air‐stable intrinsically‐stretchable display is a great challenge because the protection of the devices against penetration of moisture and oxygen is even more difficult under stretching.

Coherent many-body exciton in van der Waals antiferromagnet NiPS3
Prof. Je-Geun Park
An exciton is the bosonic quasiparticle of electron–hole pairs bound by the Coulomb interaction. Bose–Einstein condensation of this exciton state has long been the subject of speculation in various model systems, and examples have been found more recently in optical lattices and two-dimensional materials.

Ionic spiderwebs enable cleaning contamination on itself, sensing approaching targets, capturing and releasing those targets
Prof. Ho-young Kim, Prof. Jeong Yun Sun
Spiders use adhesive, stretchable, and translucent webs to capture their prey. However, sustaining the capturing capability of these webs can be challenging because the webs inevitably invite contamination, thus reducing its adhesion force. To overcome these challenges, spiders have developed strategies of using webs t...

Proton-transfer-induced 3D/2D hybrid perovskites suppress ion migration and reduce luminance overshoot
Prof. Tae-Woo Lee, Department of Materials Science and Engineering
Perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) based on three-dimensional (3D) polycrystalline perovskites suffer from ion migration, which causes overshoot of luminance over time during operation and reduces its operational lifetime. Here, we demonstrate 3D/2D hybrid PeLEDs with extremely reduced luminance overshoot and 21...

Epitaxially Strained CeO2/Mn3O4 Nanocrystals as an Enhanced Antioxidant for Radioprotection
Prof. Taeghwan Hyeon, Prof. Kyungpyo Park
Nanomaterials with antioxidant properties are promising for treating reactive oxygen species (ROS)-related diseases. However, maintaining efficacy at low doses to minimize toxicity is a critical for clinical applications.

Decadal Changes in Meridional Overturning Circulation in the East Sea (Sea of Japan)
Prof. SUNGHYUN NAM
Meridional overturning circulation (MOC) is vital to distributing heat, freshwater, and dissolved matter in semienclosed deep marginal seas such as the East Sea (ES) (Sea of Japan). As our understanding of the ES MOC remains incomplete, we attempted to fill this research gap. We analyzed the ES MOC and its decadal chan...
