                    A conceptual view of artificial intelligence photonics radar. [Korea Advanced Institute                      of Defense Science and Technology] Korea Advanced Institute of Defense Science and Technology succeeds in identifying small airplanes from several kilometers away in the open air. A team from the Korea Advanced Institute of Defense Science and Technology said Sunday that it successfully demonstrated artificial intelligence-based photon radar technology at the Sejong Electronics Test Site. According to the institute, the technology can be used to detect and identify small flying objects such as drones by generating and processing electromagnetic waves using laser light. If the technology is utilized in earnest, it is expected to help strengthen surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities against drones, which have emerged as a “cost-effectiveness game chang...

 Korean researchers have found a new way to make metals stronger and more flexible. Korean researchers have developed a technique to increase both the strength and ductility of metals./pixabay                      Kim Hyung-seop, a professor at Postech's department of new materials engineering and graduate school of eco-friendly materials, announced on Thursday that they have increased both the strength and ductility of metals through the 'plasma nitriding method' that infiltrates nitrogen into the metal surface. The research results were published in the International Journal of Plasticity, a mechanical engineering journal, last December. The researchers developed a plasma nitriding technique that coats a metal surface with a ㎚ (nanometer, one billionth of a meter) thick nitride layer. It's like putting a protective film on a smartphone, but with a special layer of protection on the metal. Conventional plasma technology is dif...

 A technology has been developed that can increase the charging speed of all-solid-state batteries, the next generation of batteries, by 10 times and improve their safety. Professor Shirley Meng explains how improving the texture of the metals used in batteries can significantly improve performance [Source=LG Energy Solutions]. LG Energy Solutions announced today that a paper on 'The effect of crystal growth orientation (texture) of metals on battery charging speed and safety', researched with professor Shirley Meng of the University of Chicago, a world-renowned expert in all-solid-state battery research, has been published in the prestigious energy journal Joule. LG Energy Solutions has been conducting innovative research on all-solid-state battery technology with the Frontier Research Lab (FRL) research team at the University of Chicago and UC San Diego (UCSD), led by prof. Shirley Meng. By introducing a thin layer of silicon into an all-solid-state battery, Shirley Meng has ...

SK Telecom in South Korea has developed an image generation technology that allows artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically create group photos with various backgrounds and poses by simply inputting a profile photo.  The company plans to utilize the technology, which goes beyond the limits of existing AI's performance in recognizing people, to upgrade various services including its AI personal assistant, A Dot. According to the information technology (IT) industry on Thursday, SK Telecom researchers recently published a new image generation model called "Instant Family," which preserves the identities of multiple people relatively accurately and realizes text commands entered by users as group photos, on the pre-publication site Archive. The Archive is a place for researchers to showcase their work before it is published in a peer-reviewed journal. The paper opens with a group photo of seven of today's leading big tech figures in AI - Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, ...

 South Korean researchers have developed a technique to increase the fast-charging stability of silicon, which is being eyed as the next-generation battery electrode material. According to the Korea University of Technology and Education on Wednesday, silicon is in the spotlight as the next-generation electrode material to increase the mileage per charge of electric vehicles. However, batteries using silicon are facing difficulties in commercialization due to their lack of stability and rapid volume expansion, especially when charged at high speeds. A team of researchers led by Professor Soo-min Park of the Department of Energy, New Materials and Chemical Engineering at Korea University of Technology and Education, Professor Inho Nam of Jungang University, and Professor Hyunwook Lee of Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) focused on the unique properties of potato starch, which is commonly encountered in everyday life. If you mix potato starch with a little wa...
