On May 16th 2023, the annual KAIST Research Day was held on campus. Along with various creative and challenging research awards, the Top 10 Research Achievements of 2022 was presented and our lab's work on ultrasound stimulation was honored as one of the ten. A short clip introducing the research was shown at the event, which was uploaded to YouTube. Congratulation to all.

Our work related to ultrasound modulation has been recently featured in the Youtube channel "Unreal Science (안될과학)", which is the top science channel in Korea.

Video Description : Real-time stimulation of front lobe of the brain to control sleep and short-term memory? This is a study led by Yehhyun Jo (PhD program) at Professor's Hyunjoo Jenny Lee of the School of Electrical Engineering at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) research team, and Dr. Kim Jung-yeon research team at the Korea Institute of Brain Research (KBRI)...

Continuous monitoring of bio/physiological signals will play an essential role in personalized, patient-centric medicine in the future healthcare industry. One of the challenges involves providing a sustainable, energy-efficient operation for long-term monitoring devices. The current technology based on power sources requires periodic replacement. Here, a hybrid film composed of a layer of piezoelectric nanowire (PVDFHFP) and a layer of microgel (pNIPAM-APBA) is presented that continuously monitors glucose, does not rely on enzymes, is self-charging, and decouples changes in read-out signals due to glucose detection from the force is applied to activate self-charging. By characterizing self-charging/discharging properties, the operation and sensing mechanism...
