Lithium-metal-halides have emerged as a class of solid electrolytes that can deliver superionic conductivity comparable to that of state-of-the-art sulfide electrolytes, as well as electrochemical stability that is suitable for high-voltage (〉4 volt) operations.

SNU-KAIST researchers highlighted the pivotal role of the protein RTN4IP1 in Coenzyme Q (CoQ) synthesis, crucial for cellular energy production. Using proximity labeling technology, they pinpointed RTN4IP1's location and its involvement in CoQ biosynthesis.

Prof. Heonsu Jeon’s research team at SNU has developed a structurally engineered phosphor platform based on simple and compact resonant cavity, which greatly enhances color conversion efficiency, effectively requiring far less phosphor material than the structureless counterpart.

In this study, acetylated soda lignin (ASL) and non-acetylated soda lignin (SL) were extruded with PLA in different concentrations to fabricate antioxidant polylactic acid (PLA)/lignin composites for potential biomedical applications. After lignin acetylation, good compatibility was observed between PLA and lignin in SEM images.

A targeted and logical discovery method was devised for natural products containing piperazic acid (Piz), which is biosynthesized from ornithine by l-ornithine N-hydroxylase (KtzI) and N–N bond formation enzyme (KtzT). Genomic signature-based screening of a bacterial DNA library (2020 strains) using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primers targeting ktzT identified 62 strains (3.1%).

An agrivoltaic system (AVS) offers a potential strategy for meeting global demands for renewable energy and sustainability by integrating photovoltaics and agriculture.

Professor Gwan-Hyoung Lee's research team from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at SNU has reported the thermally induced atomic reconstruction into fully commensurate structure of randomly stacked 2D layers.

A research team led by Professor Yang-Sook Chun from the Department of Physiology & Biomedical Sciences at SNU has uncovered the molecular mechanism of palmitoylation-driven lipid reprogramming in liver cancer cells.

Many crop plants have genetic barriers to de novo organogenesis during tissue culture. Therefore, exogenous application of metabolites and/or small molecules that promote cell fate transition in tissue culture-recalcitrant species could be key solution for current bottlenecks.

Cytochrome P450 enzymes (P450s) catalyze diverse oxidative cross-coupling reactions between aromatic substrates in natural product biosynthesis.

Prof. Steinegger‘s team from the Department of Biological Science at SNU has unlocked the gate to the large predicted protein structure AlphaFold Database by clustering the 214M structures into 2M shape-groups, revealing putative homology in prokaryotic species to human immune-related proteins.

Professor Lee's group and colleagues from the Department of Biomedical Sciences at SNU College of Medicine have identified a novel pathological mechanism of Alzheimer’s disease, which opens first-in-class therapeutic strategies.
