Wearable electronics play an important role these days in providing healthcare through medical-grade health monitoring devices that can measure heart rate, electrocardiography signal, blood oxygen level, etc. Despite such remarkable…

Compared with other types of tissue, muscles have remarkable regenerative capabilities. Unfortunately, when a considerable volume of muscle is lost due to severe injury or surgery, the surrounding muscle tissue cannot always repair the…

Earth’s surface is in constant flux, resulting in the formation of many geologic features, like long chains of volcanic arcs, which originate in oceans or on continents, where two plates converge, and one oceanic plate sinks below…

The human body has carefully controlled intricate systems in place that work in tandem to keep it healthy and functioning. One such system is ‘autophagy’, the process by which a cell degrades abnormal organelles and invading pathogens to…

Colorectal cancer poses a substantial global public health burden. It is the third most prevalent type of cancer worldwide, and while several different modes of therapy against cancer exist today, most are not selective. These treatments…

Yonsei University houses an organization called the “Institute for Future Government,” which explores alternatives for a better future. The Institute for Future Government has expanded from two small-sized research teams, starting with…

Transistors have ushered in the semiconductor era, and recently developed phototransistors are at the core of the 4th generation IoT sensorsThe invention of the transistor in 1947 allowed developing reliable, smaller, and more energy…

Certain materials, when cooled below a certain temperature, exhibit a characteristic disappearance of electrical resistance. This phenomenon, called superconductivity, has long been of interest to physicists. While certain aspects of…

The human intestine is home to thousands of different species of bacteria and fungi that play crucial roles in digestion, protection against infection, and immune system development. These microorganisms together constitute what is known…

Electrical stimulation of the body has known benefits for wound healing, strength training, and physical rehabilitation. But current wearable devices for electrical stimulation are bulky, uncomfortable, and cumbersome because of their…
