A new technology allows light to be “designed” into desired forms, potentially making AI and communication technologies faster and more accurate. A KAIST research team has developed an “integrated photonic resonator”—a core component of next-generation optical integrated circuits that process data using light. Interestingly, the research was led by an undergraduate student. This technology is expected to serve as a key foundation for next-generation security technologies such as highspeed data processing and quantum communication.

The resonator developed by the research team of Professor Sangsik Kim from the School of Electrical Engineering, in collaboration with Professor Jae Woong Yoon’s t...

Professor Kyung-Cheol Choi and his team from the School of Electrical Engineering at KAIST have developed fiber-like LED’s, which can be applied in wearable displays. Traditional wearable displays were manufactured on a hard substrate, which is later attached to the surface of clothes. Such technique has posed limitations in applying it for wearable displays because inflexible displays were not adequate in practice, and the characteristics of fabric were ignored.

Dip-Coating Process to Create Fiber-Based Light-Emitting Diodes

Solution? They focused on fibers, a component of fabrics, and developed a fiber-like light emitting diode that has the characteristics of both fabrics and displays...
