- Development of novel up-conversion host material that emits light only in a single wavelength band
- Development of novel up-conversion host material that emits light only in a single wavelength band Laser liquefaction-quenching method overcomes the material limitation of existing host materials Upconversion phenomenon is a phenomenon that continuously absorbs photons with low energy and emits photons with higher energy. The up-conversion phenomenon occurs in lanthanide ions (Ln3 +) doped in an inorganic host material, and up conversion efficiency and luminescence spectrum are determined as a result of complex interactions between the host material and lanthanide ions. However, up conversion efficiency and spectral purity are low, and development of new host material that can overcome this is required. Professor Kim Dong-hwan maximized interaction with lanthanide ions by developing a new host material that does not have a short-range order (1st coordination order) by liquefying-quenching the host material using a laser , Thereby succeeding in developing a highly efficient up-conversion material that emits light in a single wavelength band. The results of this study are significant because they overcome the material limitation of existing host materials with stable arrangement in the natural world. This research, supported by the Korea Research Foundation, was selected as a cover paper by Advanced Materials (IF 19.791), a worldwide academic journal in the field of material science, in recognition of its importance.

- Prof. Jung Ji-hoon of SKKU, Drug delivery technology Development to replace needles
- Prof. Jung Ji-hoon of SKKU, Drug delivery technology Development to replace needles Prof. Jung of the College of Pharmacy and Prof. Yong Taek Lim of the Nanotechnology Research Institute have developed a drug delivery technology that can replace needles. Soluble super fine particles penetrate the horny layer of skin when they adhere to the skin and dissolve in a short time. The greatest advantage is that there is little pain or tissue damage during this process. However, existing technologies have been difficult to formulate active ingredients that are insoluble in water. The researchers used the feature that the amphipathic polymer melts in water and forms nanoparticles through self-assembly. The researchers also reported that by using the phenomenon that 30 nanometer sized self-assembled nanoparticles are transferred to the lymph nodes after the attachment of the superfine fine skin, they can improve the effect of the anti-cancer vaccine by transmitting immune enhancer, which is not soluble in water, And confirmed that the response can be greatly reduced. The research was supported by the Korea Research Foundation's Center for Advanced Research Support and ERC, and it was published on August 24th in the online edition of ACS Nano, the global authority on nanoscience.

- Development of technology to increase energy generation of semiconductor materials in two dimensions
- Development of technology to increase energy generation of semiconductor materials in two dimensions Yoo Won-jong Sungkyunkwan University Professor "Impact ionization increases electron The Korea Research Foundation announced that the research team of Prof. Yoo of Sungkyunkwan University developed an electron generation technology based on accelerated impact ionization in electronic materials. While researching electron transport of two-dimensional materials thinner than paper, the team observed that this phenomenon was happening in the black. Black is literally black Phosphorus (element symbol P). The researchers produced a 'protective black' device to prevent black phosphorus from oxidizing in air. In this black phosphor element, the number of electrons increases by 10 times or more as the voltage increases, and the current also accelerates. This can greatly improve not only the semiconductor performance but also energy efficiency. The research was carried out with support from the Ministry of Science and Technology Information and Communication, Korea Research Foundation Basic Research Project (Global Laboratory). A paper on the achievements was published in Nature Communications 24th. Sungkyunkwan University Sungkyun Nano Science and Technology Institute Prof. Yoo

- Break the frame to go to the promising field!

Break the frame to go to the promising field! Prof. Kim Hyung of Global Biomedical Engineering Department When singer-psy gained explosive popularity worldwide on YouTube, few would have expected it. He did his work hard and silently in his field and became the highest level in his field. Why could not we predict the emergence of these world-class Korean Wave stars? This is because it is not a work that is deliberately 'planned' by the national or large-scale agency to deliberately create such world stars. Many of the students interviewing me are concerned about the future after graduation and asking what research areas are promising. I also have anxiety about the future when I am a student, so I understand my students' worries. However, I am sad that it is difficult for students to find autonomy for themselves. Unfortunately, there is no one who gives. In particular, the framework of science has to create itself. Even me, it is very difficult to predict what kind of discipline will emerge in the future. About 10 years ago, when I went to the US National Institutes of Health to study primates and cognitive science, my friends thought negatively. At that time, I was not even expecting and not even thinking about what field would be promising in the future. I just started to study with the thought that I should recognize the importance of primate research. Luckily, I started to study in Korea, and research has already been activated rapidly in China and other Asian countries. When I think about 'what if I had made a different choice in accordance with a stereotypical framework that would allow me to succeed as a researcher at that time?', I feel that there will be regrets in one corner of my mind even if it is solved well. That regret is due to the idea that I have not adhered to the truth that I truly pursued after I adhered to the existing framework of success. The important point here is that, rather than adapting itself to a formal framework established in the past, it should be able to accurately grasp the direction and essence of the current pursuit, and choose autonomously regardless of the existing framework. The social environment is also important for escaping the existing framework. In this regard, the K-pop market seems to be ahead of Korea's educational and scientific community. Nevertheless, we are making continuous efforts. In particular, I believe that the 'Nobel Prize' projects in Korea are the product of popularization that came out to pursue creativity by breaking the existing framework through free research of each individual. If a certain framework is already in place, its members should be free within it. If you are not free, you can not reveal the truth. Students should also have an attitude of asking and discussing in the freedom of study. Also, the person listening to this question should "discuss", "trust", and listen to his free ideas and logically discuss the questioner. Through these discussions, you can have more free thinking and develop more feasible ideas. Just as PSY and BTS freely made 'good music', If a researcher freely pursues 'pursuit of truth', he or she will become 'naturally' a world-class scholar. I am still hoping that any student who dares not even imagine anyone will break the existing framework and float around the world.

- Prof. Kim of IBS, Magnetic stimulation enhances brain associative memory
- Prof. Kim of Brain Science Imaging Research Institute of Basic Science Institute (IBS), Magnetic stimulation enhances brain associative memory Prof. Kim proposed the possibility of treating cognitive impairment or early dementia patients by using repeated cranial magnetic stimulation (RTMS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques. The research results were published on August 22 in "Science Advanced" (Impact Factor: 11.51). The research team visualized brain activity using a functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device in an associative memory experiment using repeated cranial magnetic stimulation (CT) to determine the effects on memory circuits. As a result, it was found that the 'associative memory ability' which memorizes the position of the object or the related image is improved by 15% or more when stimulating the parietal lobe constantly. In addition, the ability of recall memory to recall other images related to objects in the associative memory ability was improved, but it was found that there was no change in the memory of the person who judged whether the person himself or herself had encountered the object previously. This study revealed that the process of recall memory and recognition memory is different from that of associative memory and that brain cranial magnetic stimulation affects the brain area.
