Professor Lee’s research team from Seoul National University has revealed the unique role of the intermediate hippocampus in reactivating the memories of places with their relative values, through recording place cells in freely moving rats performing a memory task.

Professor Jongwoo Lim's research team from the Department of Chemistry at SNU explored the fundamental causes of temperature surges during thermal runaway in lithium-ion battery full cells. The article identified intermediates that create a self-amplifying loop via multidirectional crosstalk between the battery electrodes.

The Kibble–Zurek mechanism is a theoretical framework that describes the formation and scaling of topological defects in symmetry-breaking phase transitions.

The deep ocean, a vast thermal reservoir, absorbs excess heat under greenhouse warming, which ultimately regulates the Earth’s surface climate.

A collaborative research team led by Professor Kwon Sunghoon of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Seoul National University (SNU), along with Professors Park Wan-beom and Kim Inho of Seoul National University Hospital and QuantaMatrix Inc., has opened a new path to significantly improve the survival rate of sepsis patients, who have a mortality rate exceeding 40%.

Professor Joohon Sung from the Graduate School of Public Health and the Interdisciplinary Program in Bioinformatics at Seoul National University, along with Ph.D. candidate Kunhyung Bahk from the same Bioinformatics program, have presented a new algorithm for genome analysis.

B-cell-lymphoma-2 (BCL2) homology-3 (BH3) mimetics are inhibitors of protein–protein interactions (PPIs) that saturate anti-apoptotic proteins in the BCL2 family to induce apoptosis in cancer cells.

The oceanic data assimilation (DA) system, essential for understanding and forecasting global climate variabilities, blends prior information from numerical models with observed data to create the best possible estimates and their uncertainties of oceanic conditions.

Advanced Very High-Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) satellite observations have provided the longest global daily records from 1980s, but the remaining temporal inconsistency in vegetation index datasets has hindered reliable assessment of vegetation greenness trends

A research team led by Professor Yong-Lae Park from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Seoul National University has developed a stretchable glove capable of accurately estimating finger bone lengths and joint angles.

Microglia play a critical role as immune cells in the pathological regions of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study elucidates that TREM2, present on the surface of microglia, recognizes and clears beta-amyloid associated with externalized phosphatidylserine (ePtdSer) during AD progression.

Professor Uwe R. Fischer's research team from the Department of Physics and Astronomy at SNU has revealed the fundamental importance of incorporating self-consistency in the solution for the many-body evolution of trapped interacting particles, for parameter estimation from measurement data (known as metrology). The impact of self-consistency has been made manifest by evaluating its strong impact on the metrological precision for the parameter estimation in a given measurement protocol.
