State institute develops highly stable synapse transistor for high-capacity data processing
SEOUL -- Researchers have developed a synapse transistor for a neuromorphic computing system that is highly stable and has low power consumption compared to non-volatile NAND flash memory chips that consume a lot of electricity and have a shorter lifespan. A neuromorphic computing system is modeled after the thinking process of the human brain. A synapse transistor mimics the synapse of the human nervous system which allows a neuron to deliver electrical or chemical signals to ot

Researchers develop portable virus removal device capable of killing COVID-19 virus
SEOUL -- South Korean researchers have developed a portable virus removal device capable of eliminating more than 99.9 percent of COVID-19 viruses in a second using ultraviolet rays instead of conventional liquid disinfectants. The solution does not leave behind any residue or generate fire so it can be used in crowded places such as subway stations. The solution developed by the state-run Korea Railroad Research Institute (KRRI) only weighs 1.8 kilograms, enabling workers to easil

Researchers develop elastic printed circuit board using conductive liquid metal particles
SEOUL -- South Korean researchers developed an elastic printed circuit board that uses a conductive polymer material containing liquid metal particles. The board can be used for the production of film-like wearable devices or soft robots with human skin-like exteriors. A printed circuit board consists of metal circuits made of materials such as copper and gold printed onto a flexible board. A circuit board is flexible to some degree but because of the circuit material's rigid
