A Mott Meter
Physics 14, s58
A new experimental method based on adsorption can indicate whether a material is a Mott insulator or a common insulator.

Mott insulators are not your ordinary insulators. These materials have unfilled orbitals, which would normally make them conductors, but electron-electron interactions prevent current flow. Distinguishing a Mott insulator from an ordinary (trivial) insulator has typically relied on theoretical calculations of the band structure. Now, Han Woong Yeom of Pohang University of Science and Technology, South Korea, and colleagues have developed an experimental method that can reveal an insulator’s true identity [1].
A Promising Breakthrough in LiDAR Sensors in Korea could be a huge benefit to Apple s Project Titan and Autonomous Vehicles in General
Earlier this morning Patently Apple posted a report about Apple Vans are out in full force this morning mapping out the streets of Hong Kong. These vans use massive LiDAR sensors on the roof of the vans to capture 360º images. Earlier this year Bloomberg had reported that Apple was in discussions with multiple suppliers of self-driving car sensors known as LiDAR (short for light detection and ranging), a key milestone toward development of its first passenger vehicle.
The Cupertino, California-based technology giant is in active talks with a number of potential suppliers for these laser-based sensors that allow a car’s computer to see its surroundings

Researchers have developed an electronic skin-like sensory system that can detect both movement and temperature simultaneously, giving it a characteristic similar to human skin.
A joint research team from Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) in South Korea and Stanford University developed the multimodal ion-electronic skin, which researchers said can measure the temperature and mechanical stimulation at the same time.
The team developed a multifunctional artificial receptor that aims to mimic tactile receptors in the human skin that can detect hot or cold temperatures as well as other tactile sensations such as pinching, twisting, or pushing. It’s contained within multimodal ion-electric skin made from a flexible material that, like human skin, is flexible and can stretch.
Ulsan selected for state project to demonstrate AI-based marine logistics platform Park Sae-jin Reporter(swatchsjp@ajunews.com) | Posted : May 7, 2021, 10:24 | Updated : May 7, 2021, 10:24

SEOUL The southern port city of Ulsan was selected to host a 43 billion won ($38 million) state project that aims to demonstrate and test the efficacy of an artificial intelligence-based marine logistics platform. When commercialized, the platform will help the digital transformation of ports to increase work efficiency and cargo processing speed.
South Korean ports mainly rely on the manual operation of machinery, including cranes and forklifts, and cargo tracking. The need for an efficient marine logistics management platform is higher than ever as cargo volume at major ports grows fast due to skyrocketing global cargo demand.
Banks stepping up blockchain investments amid crypto boom

Korea s commercial banks are expanding their use of blockchain technologies that underpin cryptocurrencies amid surging demand for digital asset transactions.
Major lenders here remain wary of jumping directly into the cryptocurrency market, as they may lose more than they gain if caught in even a minor security issue surrounding virtual asset transactions.
But they are moving to keep a closer watch on the market by signing partnerships with blockchain tech companies and enhancing research and development capabilities in the area of blockchain and digital transaction securities.
