One Step Closer to Hydrogen Economy
Not only South Korea but many other countries in the world have been making an effort to transition to a hydrogen economy, for long term energy storage and long distance transport of low-carbon energy.However, the amount of hydrogen that can be produced using conventional methods is limited because they mainly use by-product hydrogen gas from crude oil refinement or modify natural gas at high temperatures.It is also hard to say the methods are ‘completely clean’ because they use fossil fuels ..

CBNU Students Share Seedlings with Residents
On the afternoon of May 15, CBNU campus was full of gratifying laughs among the students sharing the seedlings and the people who took them. The students in ‘Honors Residential College (HRC) Eco Floor Program’ distributed 60,000 varieties of vegetables and flower seedlings cultivated over the past several months. With the start of the first semester, the students have cultivated various seedlings such as red-pepper, eggplant, beet, kale, cherry tomatoes and flowers, under the guidance of P..

CBNU's Special Scholarship to Boost Challenge
CBNU has a unique scholarship which is hard to find in other universities. It isthe 'Challenge Boost Scholarship', not for the students with good grade but for those who want to challenge some area themselves.Since 2017, around 400 students have benefited from this scholarship per semester. It is also very rare for a special-purpose scholarship to be offered to such a big number of students. Each of the successful candidates is given one million won for presenting their self-designed challenge ..

Perovskite Film with 100x Luminous Efficiency
Professor Hong Seok Lee (Department of Physics, Research Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Chonbuk National University) and his team have developed a technique for manufacturing perovskite film 100 times the luminous efficiency. The researchers produced a highly crystalline perovskite film by treating it with a solvent vapor of various polarities. They also developed a method to control the emission wavelength and efficiency by controlling the crystal size in the film according to the expo..

Semiconductor with Lower Resistance and 100x Performance
When applying two-dimensional (2D) transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) to conventional devices, high contact resistance between the TMDs and metal electrodes has always been a stumbling block. CBNU Professor TaeWan Kim (Department of Electrical Engineering and Smart Grid Research Center) and his team have developed a technique that overcomes this problem and performs 100 times better than the existing 2D material-based semiconductors. The researchers succeeded in fabricating a next-ge..

Professor Solves a 30 Year-long Math Problem
There are limitations in dealing with uncertainty especially in a computing environment that requires accurate answers. To solve this, mathematicians and computer scientists have applied rough set theory. Since when it was first described by Zdzisław I. Pawlak in 1982, rough set theory has been considered to be a good way to solve problems in various computer-related fields. The theory contributed to theories such fuzzy theory, data analysis, deep learning, neural network theory and decisio..

Solvent-Free Green Synthesis of PLA Block Copolymers
For the first time in the world, researchers discovered a mechanochemical synthesis method of polylactic acid (PLA) block copolymers without using chemical solvent. Solvent is the most commonly used in chemical synthesis and is the main cause of environmental pollution and accidents. After two years of constant effort, Chonbuk National University undergraduates, Gue Seon Lee and Bo Reum Moon (Department of Chemistry, and Research Institute of Physics and Chemistry) and CBNU alumni Haemin ..
