fund
Epapyrus, a solution company for e-documents that was created by a KAIST graduate, donated USD 106,000 worth of paperless software to KAIST on October 20, 2015.
President Steve Kang of KAIST presented a plaque of appreciation to President Jung-Hee Kim of Epapyrus to recognize his donation.
To the Class of 2003 in computer science, President Kim said,
“KAIST has always been supportive of me. Even when I neglected my study to focus on the start-up of my company during college, the university encouraged me to pursue my dream. I was thrilled when I learned that KAIST was looking for an e-paper solution package because I knew I could return what I had received to my alma mater.”
President Kang replied,
“President Kim is indeed one of our proud alumni. He created a company based on an innovative idea, and we are pleased to see his company grow steadily. Certainly, we would not have accomplished all the great things without the generous support of our strong alumni.”

research KAIST Develops Sodium Battery Capable of Rapid Charging in Just a Few Seconds
Sodium (Na), which is over 500 times more abundant than lithium (Li), has recently garnered significant attention for its potential in sodium-ion battery technologies. However, existing sodium-ion batteries face fundamental limitations, including lower power output, constrained storage properties, and longer charging times, necessitating the development of next-generation energy storage materials. On the 11th of April, KAIST (represented by President Kwang Hyung Lee) announced that a research t

research KAIST introduces microbial food as a strategy food production of the future
The global food crisis is increasing due to rapid population growth and declining food productivity to climate change. Moreover, today's food production and supply system emit a huge amount of carbon dioxide, reaching 30% of the total amount emitted by humanity, aggravating climate change. Sustainable and nutritious microbial food is attracting attention as a key to overcoming this impasse. KAIST (President Kwang Hyung Lee) announced on April 12th that Research Professor Kyeong Rok Choi of th

research A KAIST-SNUH Team Devises a Way to Make Mathematical Predictions to find Metabolites Related to Somatic Mutations in Cancers
Cancer is characterized by abnormal metabolic processes different from those of normal cells. Therefore, cancer metabolism has been extensively studied to develop effective diagnosis and treatment strategies. Notable achievements of cancer metabolism studies include the discovery of oncometabolites* and the approval of anticancer drugs by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that target enzymes associated with oncometabolites. Approved anticancer drugs such as ‘Tibsovo (active ingre
