People have been using wood for constructing buildings material for thousands of years. While the material has tended to fall behind in recent years, demand…
Nothing foretells the coming of winter like frost on windshields.
This breakthrough has been led by Professor Hyun-Wook Lee in the School of Energy and Chemical Engineering at UNIST in collaboration with the Agency for…
The biological carbon pump is a cyclical process by which inorganic carbon from the atmosphere is fixed by marine lifeforms and transported through ocean…
“This particular neutron star belongs to a group of seven nearby X-ray pulsars–nicknamed 'the Magnificent Seven'–that are hotter than they ought to be…
A new study by Professor Hajin Kim in the School of Life Sciences at UNIST presents the notion of “DNA Phase Separation”, which suggests that the DNA within…

Original recipe ideas that make a healthy lifestyle fun
“With our study we originally wanted to study the role of bacteria in the intestines in the development of intestinal inflammation,” explains Professor Dirk…
The remains of a buried pine forest at the foot of Mont Saint Genis in Southern France yield insightful information on a drastic climate change event. The pine…
“It is not enough simply to bring more light into the cell,” says Christiane Becker. Such surface structures can even ultimately reduce the efficiency by…
In a recent experiment at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, plasma electrons in the paths of intense laser light pulses were almost instantly accelerated…
A new CubeSat mission called The Electron Losses and Fields Investigation, or ELFIN, will study one of the processes that allows energetic electrons to escape…
Cancer cells often escape the immune system unrecognized. A new form of cancer therapy aims at tackling this by retargeting immune cells against the cancer…
