South Korea\'s Ministry of Science and ICT and the National Research Foundation of Korea selected Lee Yoon-sil (이윤실), a professor at Seoul National University Graduate School of Dentistry, as the May recipient of the Korea Science and Technology Award. The selection cited her work on using mitochondria to promote bone formation and regeneration while reducing side effects and treatment gaps associated with existing therapies. Her research was featured on the cover of Cell Metabolism in February 2023.

KAIST said a joint research team led by professors Yangkyu Choi (최양규) and Sanghyun Kim (김상현) has developed an oscillator-based Ising machine using only existing silicon semiconductor processes. The team implemented both oscillators and couplers with a single silicon transistor, reducing frequency mismatch and enabling stable synchronisation and multi-state coupling. It improved model expressiveness and solution-search performance and solved the Max-Cut problem. KAIST said it can be mass-produced on existing lines.
