Vacuum Energy Distribution in a Cavity Directly Imaged Professor AN Kyungwon's class Is the vacuum really empty? Professor AN Kyungwon of SNU Physics answers that it's not. The same question was asked by Paul A. Dirac 90 years ago. Surprisingly, he suggested that the vacuum is not empty, but filled with energy called t...

Professor PARK Tai Hyun (Dept. of Chemical and Biological Engineering) Professor PARK Tai Hyun (Dept. of Chemical and Biological Engineering) developed an electronic nose which can detect cancer in the cover article of the March edition of Advanced Healthcare Materials. His electronic nose uses odor receptor proteins f...

Professor LEE Takhee (Dept. of Physics) Professor LEE Takhee’s research team (Department of Physics and Astronomy) has succeeded in creating a thin film electronic element using molybdenum disulphide (MoS₂). MoS₂ is only a single atomic layer thick and possesses the characteristics of a semiconductor. The research team...

Professor NAM Jaw-Min (Dept. of Chemistry) Professor NAM Jwa-Min (Dept. of Chemistry)’s research team has developed a new type of DNA-modified gold nanoparticle-based bio-barcode assay. Micro RNA (miRNA) is an indicator of cancer, and the research team found a way to detect miRNA using DNA bio-barcodes which combine wi...

Professor YOON Euijoon (Dept. of Materials Science and Engineering) Professor YOON Euijoon (Dept. of Materials Science and Engineering) has co-developed a way to build graphene directly on light emitting diodes (LEDs) with Professor CHUN Seung-Hyun (Sejong University).
