Atomic substitution builds semiconductors as Korean team proves low-power device performance

A technology to selectively replace atoms in semiconductors to implement multiple electrical functions on a single thin film has been developed. The Ministry of Science and ICT said a team led by Jo Moon-ho (조문호) at the Institute for Basic Science developed a modular transistor fabrication method for 2D semiconductors. The team converted WSe2 at atomic-layer thickness and built transistors whose switching voltage approached the room-temperature limit, while also reducing energy barriers and demonstrating low-voltage operation.

MSIT seeks new high-performance computing centres to meet GPU demand

South Korea\'s Ministry of Science and ICT said on Wednesday it will designate additional specialised high-performance computing centres by sector. The ministry previously named seven institutions as specialised centres in 2022. It is moving to add more centres as demand for large-scale GPU-based computing resources rises alongside deeper integration of science, technology and AI. Applications are open until Oct. 12, with final selections in December and two-year operations beginning in January.

Yonsei professor Cheon Jin-woo named Korea top scientist and technologist award winner

South Korea\'s Ministry of Science and ICT and the Federation of Korean Science and Technology Societies selected Yonsei University Underwood Distinguished Professor Cheon Jin-woo as the 2026 recipient of the Korea Top Scientist and Technologist Award. The presidential award, first presented in 2003, has recognised 48 winners through last year. Cheon was credited with pioneering nanomedicine and developing nano-magnetogenetics enabling wireless, remote control of neurons in living animals. He will receive a presidential citation and 300 million won in prize money on July 7.
