The Next-Generation Battery Research Center of the Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute conducted a study on Li-metal batteries, which was later published as a cover paper in a prestigious international journal.
Multifunctional porous solids that have different functionalized linkers have been used as potential materials for numerous applications in biomedical, energy, and environmental fields.
A recent study, affiliated with South Korea's Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST) has unveiled a new synthetic approach for controlling functional group assemblies in porous solids by using metal-organic polyhedra (MOPs). Their findings are expected to have attracted attention as a useful synthetic strategy for catalysis, gas storage, and molecular separation.
Newly Engineered Bacterium can Produce Carminic Acid Written by AZoMApr 7 2021 A team of researchers from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) has designed a bacterium that can produce carminic acid—a natural red colorant that is extensively used in cosmetics and food. A schematic biosynthetic pathway for the production of carminic acid from glucose. Biochemical reaction analysis and computer simulation-assisted enzyme engineering were employed to identify and improve the enzymes (DnrFP217K and GtCGTV93Q/Y193F) responsible for the latter two reactions.
