Researchers develop fluorosulfate-based flame-retardant for high-energy batteries
SEOUL -- For the first time in the world, South Korean researchers have developed a fluorosulfate-based flame-retardant electrolyte additive for high-energy lithium batteries used in electric vehicles and energy storage systems. High-performance lithium-ion batteries are widely used in the world's electric vehicle (EV) and energy storage system (ESS) sectors. However, they also pose a grave threat to human lives and property because electrolytes used in lithium-based batter

Researchers to demonstrate eco-friendly hydrogen combustor for thermal power plants
SEOUL -- South Korean researchers have developed a hydrogen combustor unit for liquefied natural gas turbines used at thermal power plants. The combustor, which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 10 percent, will be demonstrated in 2023. Power plants using liquefied natural gas (LNG) turbines emit about 40 percent less carbon dioxide than their counterparts that use coal as their main fuel. Other than renewable energy sources, LNG is the fuel with the lowest level of

Researchers develop skin-attachable, untethered telehaptic system for vivid tactile experience
SEOUL -- Telehaptics refers to the transmission of computer-generated tactile sensations over networks. Telehaptic systems transmit a sophisticated and near-realistic sense of touch from one user to another. The core capability of telehaptic transducers depends on precisely monitoring the spatiotemporal and physical deformations occurring on soft skin surfaces and reproducing them from a distance. Telehaptic systems must satisfy the collection and reproduction performance of soph
