University research team develops highly stable long-life secondary battery materials for EVs and ESSs
SEOUL -- A university research team has developed highly stable and high-capacity secondary battery materials that are ideal for high-performance devices such as electric vehicles and energy storage systems. Instead of lithium, the research team used zinc-aluminum alloy and a hybrid aluminum-ion solution for electrolytes. Normally, high-performance batteries are mainly made of lithium and a liquid electrolyte. Because lithium is an expensive and volatile metal, all lithium-ion batt

Researchers develop coffee waste-based semiconductor wastewater treatment filter
SEOUL -- A joint team of researchers has discovered a way to reuse coffee waste by developing a biodegradable wastewater treatment filter for semiconductor production. The eco-friendly nano filter is made of coffee grounds and biodegradable high-polymers. According to the environment ministry, some 150,000 tons of coffee waste are abandoned annually. Used coffee grounds can generate greenhouse gases through decomposition when buried and create carbon and air pollution when incinera

Researchers develop PCR test device to detect multiple viruses within 40 minutes
SEOUL -- South Korean researchers have developed an affordable polymerase chain reaction test device that can detect up to four kinds of RNA and DNA viruses at a time within 40 minutes. Conventional PCR test devices are complicated machines that take at least a few hours to detect only one or two targeted viruses. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test method became one of the most widespread virus test methods during the COVID-19 pandemic because of its accurate test method. How
