nanoPCR technology can accurately diagnose the infection in less than 20 minutes with zero false positive and false negative

Posted on by Haptic

A “nanoPCR” technology was developed for the point-of-care (POC) diagnosis of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19). This new technology can diagnose the infection within ~20 minutes while retaining the accuracy of conventional reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technology. A team of researchers led by Professor CHEON Jinwoo, the director of the Center for Nanomedicine (CNM) within Read more about nanoPCR technology can accurately diagnose the infection in less than 20 minutes with zero false positive and false negative[…]

Posted on by Haptic

Pioneering research published in Nature by Professor Feng Ding’s team from the Center for Multidimensional Carbon Materials, within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), in collaboration with Professor Jin Zhang’s team, at Peking University and colleagues, has demonstrated how to control the synthesis of special tiny carbon cylinders known as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), in order Read more about Carbon Nanotubes – A key advancement in the design of high performance carbon-based electronics[…]

The Thinnest Photodetector in the World

Posted on by Haptic

The Center for Integrated Nanostructure Physics, within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has developed the world’s thinnest photodetector, that is a device that converts light into an electric current. With a thickness of just 1.3 nanometers – 10 times smaller than the current standard silicon diodes – this device could be used in the Read more about The Thinnest Photodetector in the World[…]

Memory for future wearable electronics

Posted on by Haptic

Last March, the artificial intelligence (AI) program AlphaGo beat Korean Go champion LEE Se-Dol at the Asian board game. “The game was quite tight, but AlphaGo used 1200 CPUs and 56,000 watts per hour, while Lee used only 20 watts. If a hardware that mimics the human brain structure is developed, we can operate artificial Read more about Memory for future wearable electronics[…]
