< President Jo-Won Lee >
Chair professor Jo-Won Lee from Hanyang University was appointed as the sixth president of the National Nano Fab Center (NNFC). President Lee will serve his term for three years from September 16.
The NNFC is an affiliated institution of KAIST, established in 2002 to foster qualified manpower in the field of nanotechnology (NT) in Korea. The NNFC features cutting-edge NT-related research equipment and fabrication services, and provides students and researchers quality education and training. The NNFC seeks to become a world-leading institute by performing extensive business operations including the commercialization of NT research results and conducting various multidisciplinary projects.
President Lee received his BS degree from Hanyang University and his MS and PhD degrees in metals science from the Pennsylvania State University. He taught nano-conversion science at his alma mater, Hanyang University, while serving as the director of the National Program for Tera-level Nanodevices. President Lee also guided the governmental planning committee for the 10-year Korea Nanotechnology Initiative as secretary general.
President Lee said, “The NNFC has been striving to develop Korea as the world’s strongest nation in nanotechnology thus far. All of the members of the NNFC will continue giving our best effort for the improvement of our nation’s nanotechnology.”

research Using light to throw and catch atoms to open up a new chapter for quantum computing
The technology to move and arrange atoms, the most basic component of a quantum computer, is very important to Rydberg quantum computing research. However, to place the atoms at the desired location, the atoms must be captured and transported one by one using a highly focused laser beam, commonly referred to as an optical tweezer. and, the quantum information of the atoms is likely to change midway. KAIST (President Kwang Hyung Lee) announced on the 27th that a research team led by Professor

research KAIST researchers devises a technology to utilize ultrahigh-resolution micro-LED with 40% reduced self-generated heat
In the digitized modern life, various forms of future displays, such as wearable and rollable displays are required. More and more people are wanting to connect to the virtual world whenever and wherever with the use of their smartglasses or smartwatches. Even further, we’ve been hearing about medical diagnosis kit on a shirt and a theatre-hat. However, it is not quite here in our hands yet due to technical limitations of being unable to fit as many pixels as a limited surface area of a gl

research The cause of disability in aged brain meningeal membranes identified
Due to the increase in average age, studies on changes in the brain following general aging process without serious brain diseases have also become an issue that requires in-depth studies. Regarding aging research, as aging progresses, ‘sugar’ accumulates in the body, and the accumulated sugar becomes a causative agent for various diseases such as aging-related inflammation and vascular disease. In the end, “surplus” sugar molecules attach to various proteins in the body
