KAIST ranked fourth in the ‘Chosun-QS Asia University Ranking 2017’, which is top among universities in Korea for four consecutive years. Particularly, KAIST jumped two places compared to last year’s ranking due to achieving higher scores in two indicators; the number of papers per faculty and citations per paper.
Out of 426 universities, 47 universities in Korea were included on the list, and six of them landed in top 20. It is important to note that only two Korean universities improved their ranking: KAIST and Sungkyunkwan University.

research KAIST Develops a Multifunctional Structural Battery Capable of Energy Storage and Load Support
Structural batteries are used in industries such as eco-friendly, energy-based automobiles, mobility, and aerospace, and they must simultaneously meet the requirements of high energy density for energy storage and high load-bearing capacity. Conventional structural battery technology has struggled to enhance both functions concurrently. However, KAIST researchers have succeeded in developing foundational technology to address this issue. < Photo 1. (From left) Professor Seong Su Kim, PhD

research KAIST Unveils New Possibilities for Treating Intractable Brain Tumors
< Photo 1. (From left) Professor Heung Kyu Lee, KAIST Department of Biological Sciences, and Dr. Keun Bon Ku > Immunotherapy, which enhances the immune system's T cell response to eliminate cancer cells, has emerged as a key approach in cancer treatment. However, in the case of glioblastoma, an aggressive and treatment-resistant brain tumor, numerous clinical trials have failed to confirm their efficacy. Korean researchers have recently analyzed the mechanisms that cause T cell exhaus
