research How Small Can Semiconductors Get? KAIST Develops Atomic-Level Prediction Technology
<(From Left) Dr. Tae Hyung Kim, Dr. Juho Lee, (Upper Left) Professor Yong-Hoon Kim> As the global semiconductor industry enters the so-called "2 nm (nanometer, one-billionth of a meter) process" era, the actual size of transistors — the core components of semiconductor chips — still remains above 10 nm. How much smaller, then, can transistors actually get? KAIST researchers have developed a technology to predict that limit through quantum mechanical atom-level calculations.

research KAIST Overcomes Limitations of Existing Image Sensors… Clear Colors Even Under Oblique Light
<(From Left) Ph.D candidate Chanhyung Park from Electrical Engineering, Jaehyun Jeon from Department of Physics, Professor Min Seok Jang from Electrical Engineering> Smartphone cameras are becoming smaller, yet photos are becoming sharper. Korean researchers have elevated the limits of next-generation smartphone cameras by developing a new image sensor technology that can accurately represent colors regardless of the angle at which light enters. The team achieved this by utilizing a &ld
