LK-99 - Failures and Groundbreaking Discoveries
A superconductor is a material that exhibits superconductivity under critical temperature, where electrical resistance vanishes and magnetic fields expel from the material. Tremendous energy savings by superconductor are said to have the potential to address global energy challenges and enhance computing performances in addition to other possibilities. Room-temperature superconductors under ambient pressure may take the world to a new level. Nume...
Facilities Management – Dealing with Campus Water Quality
Facilities Management – Dealing with Campus Water Quality
The water quality issue, which had been addressed over the past few years, has surfaced once again on POVIS with pictures of showerhead filters filled with dirt. This water quality problem has been mainly reported from the residential areas including both the student dormitory and the faculty apartments, and from a wide range of POSTECH members, from students to professors. The officer of the Facilities Management thereupon replied that they woul...

Emerging Ethical Breaches in Science
Emerging Ethical Breaches in Science
Can quantum computers shut down modern cryptogram systems? Can subsequent researchers reproduce the same results the pioneer researchers achieved? As both scientific research and industrial fields are discovering new things as well as achieving richer experiment results more rapidly, the competition is intense. In these circumstances where some researchers work hard under high pressure, there are serious issues emerging where researchers violate ...
The Reappearance of Bedbugs in France
The Reappearance of Bedbugs in France
Starting with the week just before Paris Fashion Week, the infestation began. Bedbugs have taken over the city of Paris, and the situation is now facing the prospect that the outbreak could travel overseas. As Paris, being one of the world's most-visited city, is hosting the next summer Olympics in 2024, it is a very concerning situation. Between 2017 and 2022, more than one in ten French households reported bedbug infestation, according to t...
