PKNU Research 1000 Eun-Kwang Lee | Design Strategy Proposed for Gate Electrodes in Brain-Inspired Devices Pukyong National University Professor Eun-Kwang Lee’s Team Proposes Gate Electrode Design Strategies, a ‘Hidden Key’ to Brain-Inspired Devices- Research Professor Yong-Hee Kim and Professor Eun-Kwang Lee collaborate with researchers from Gyeongsang National University, Hanyang University, the University of Seoul, Taiwan, and Italy- Comprehensive review of strategies for controlling the memory characteristics of artificial synapses through gate electrode design- Findings published in Advanced Functional Materials, a world-renowned journal in materials science A research team led by Professor Eun-Kwang Lee of the Department of Chemical Engineering at Pukyong National University, in collaboration with domestic and international researchers, has published a systematic review of strategies for controlling memory characteristics through gate electrodes, a previously overlooked component of brain-inspired organic electronic devices. Research Professor Yong-Hee Kim of Pukyong National University and Professor Woo-Jo Kim of Gyeongsang National University contributed as co-first authors, while Professor Eun-Kwang Lee, Professor Ho-Cheon Yoo of Hanyang University, and Professor Shin-Hyung Lee of the University of Seoul served as corresponding authors. The international research team also included Professor Wen-Ya Lee of National Taipei University of Technology in Taiwan and Professor Fabrizio Torricelli of the University of Brescia in Italy. The paper, titled “Gate Electrode Engineering for Tunable Synaptic Plasticity in Organic Electrochemical Neuromorphic Devices,” was published on October 6 in Advanced Functional Materials (IF: 19.9), a world-renowned journal in materials science. Organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs) are gaining attention as low-power artificial intelligence hardware capable of learning and memory functions because their signal transmission mechanism, involving the movement of both ions and electrons, resembles that of synapses in the brain. Until now, research has primarily focused on the semiconductor layer through which current flows, while the gate electrode, which receives input signals, has largely been regarded as a simple input terminal. The research team focused on the fact that gate electrodes directly control the injection, retention, and removal of ions. They systematically reviewed recent studies across three key aspects: gate electrode materials, structures and geometries, and interfaces with electrolytes, demonstrating that gate electrode design alone can enable the transition from short-term to long-term memory. The team also compared various materials, ranging from metals and carbon to conductive polymers and metal?organic frameworks (MOFs), while presenting applications in federated learning and reservoir computing, as well as challenges associated with large-area integration. According to the research team, capacitance, which refers to an electrode’s ability to accommodate and store electrical charge through ion interactions, varies significantly depending on the material, and controlling it can alter memory retention times. In particular, carbon electrodes with large surface areas and high porosity can be used to tune characteristics between short-term and long-term memory, while conductive polymer electrodes capable of storing ions internally are advantageous for achieving long-term memory characteristics. Furthermore, porous materials such as MOFs can selectively allow certain ions to pass through depending on their pore size. This suggests the potential to regulate memory characteristics not only through the electrode’s charge storage capacity but also by controlling the selective transport of ions. This study is significant in that it expands the perspective of brain-inspired device design from semiconductor layers to gate electrodes. The findings are expected to provide valuable design guidelines for developing low-power AI semiconductors and bioelectronic devices. Professor Eun-Kwang Lee said, “This study demonstrates that gate electrodes, which have long been regarded as supporting components, can play a central role in designing the memory characteristics of brain-inspired devices. Understanding the fundamental principles governing ion movement at interfaces is the starting point for developing next-generation AI semiconductors.” This research was supported by the 2026 Outstanding Early-Career Research Program (Type B) of the National Research Foundation of Korea (RS-2026-25498529) and the 2026 Global Collaborative Research Support Program of Pukyong National University (202607920001). 2026-11-03
PKNU Research 1000 Jae-Il Cho | Analyzes changes in adolescent behavior during heightened inter-Korean tensions in 2016 Adolescents in Border Regions Showed Increased Altruism Amid Heightened North Korean Threats in 2016- Research team led by Pukyong National University Professor Jae-Il Cho analyzes changes in adolescent behavior during heightened inter-Korean tensions in 2016- Adolescents in border regions showed increased engagement in helping friends, volunteering, donating, and environmentally responsible activities … Findings published in an SSCI-indexed international journal A recent study has found that during a period of heightened military threats from North Korea, adolescents living in areas close to the perceived threat responded by becoming more considerate of others and more willing to help those around them. A research team comprising Professor Jae-Il Cho of the Department of Economics at Pukyong National University (corresponding author), Professor Dirk Bethmann of the Department of Economics at Korea University (first author), and Professor Dara Fox of the Institute of Foreign Language Studies at Korea University (co-author) empirically analyzed the effects of external threats on individual altruistic behavior in their paper titled “In the Worst of Times, the Best of Us: External Threat and Individual Altruism at the Inter-Korean Border in 2016.” The paper was published this month in Volume 27 (2026) of Journal of Happiness Studies, an international journal indexed in the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI). The journal is highly regarded in the field of happiness and well-being research, ranking in the top 7.5% according to Journal Citation Reports (JCR), the top 5.98% based on CiteScore, and the top 4.33% according to SCImago Journal Rank (SJR). In 2016, inter-Korean tensions escalated significantly following North Korea’s fourth and fifth nuclear tests, propaganda broadcasts directed toward South Korea, and GPS jamming activities. The research team analyzed adolescents in the Seoul metropolitan area using data from the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS). Applying the Difference-in-Differences (DiD) method, the researchers compared changes in adolescent behavior before and after the escalation of tensions between those living in border regions and those in non-border regions. The analysis revealed that adolescents in border regions showed a marked increase in their willingness to help friends in need, participate in community volunteer activities, and donate to impoverished countries. Environmentally responsible behaviors, such as conserving water and recycling, also increased. These findings suggest that external threats can strengthen solidarity and mutual care among community members. The research team interpreted the results as evidence that people may become more generous toward one another when facing external threats, potentially enhancing community resilience. Professor Jae-Il Cho, who led the research, said, “The significance of this study lies in its empirical demonstration that security crises can also foster care and solidarity within communities, going beyond previous research that has primarily focused on the negative effects of such crises on adolescent health. The findings offer a hopeful message that, even in the most difficult times, communities can overcome adversity through the collective strength of people helping one another.” 2026-11-03
PKNU Research 1000 Kyung-Ho Kim·In-Cheol Lee | Warn East Sea Squid Catches Could Fall to Zero by 2040 Pukyong National University Researchers Warn East Sea Squid Catches Could Fall to Zero by 2040 - Study identifies links between climate change, La Nina, marine heatwaves, and predator influxes - Research team led by Professors Kyung-Ho Kim and In-Cheol Lee of the Department of Ocean Engineering publishes findings in a Nature-affiliated journal “Potentially Irreversible Ecosystem Restructuring, Not a Temporary Fluctuation in Fishery Resources … Urgent Need for Joint Management by South Korea, Japan, and Other Neighboring Countries” A research team led by Professors Kyung-Ho Kim and In-Cheol Lee of the Department of Ocean Engineering at Pukyong National University (President Sang-Hoon Bae) has identified the effects of climate change and marine heatwaves on the sharp decline in squid catches in the East Sea. Their findings were published in Communications Earth & Environment, a sister journal of the internationally renowned scientific journal Nature. The study involved Senior Researcher Seong-Sik Park of Pukyong National University’s Research Institute for Ocean Industry, who served as the first author, and Research Scientist Seok-Jin Yoon of the National Institute of Fisheries Science, among other researchers. By analyzing approximately 30 years of observational data from 1993 to 2025, the research team identified a teleconnection pathway through which intensified La Nina conditions in early summer (June-July) strengthen marine heatwaves in major East Sea fishing grounds during autumn and winter through atmospheric-oceanic interactions. The analysis revealed that in years marked by strong La Ni-a events (1999, 2010, 2021, 2022, and 2025), sea surface temperature anomalies in major East Sea fishing grounds averaged 0.9°C during autumn and winter. When La Nina alters atmospheric circulation over the western North Pacific and strengthens easterly winds over the East China Sea, sea levels rise along South Korea’s southern coast, increasing heat transport through the Korea Strait via the Tsushima Warm Current. The researchers found that this process leads to higher water temperatures in East Sea fishing grounds. Using statistical sequential mediation analysis, the research team confirmed that multiple environmental factors contributed to the sharp decline in catches of Japanese flying squid (Todarodes pacificus). According to the researchers, long-term ocean warming has gradually degraded squid habitats, while rapid, short-term temperature increases caused by marine heatwaves have placed additional thermal stress on squid populations. At the same time, the influx of predators adapted to warmer waters has further intensified predation pressure. Climate model projections also raise serious concerns. The research team predicted that if global warming continues, squid catches in the East Sea could decline to nearly zero by 2040 under various greenhouse gas emission scenarios. The researchers explained that their findings suggest the decline in squid populations cannot be attributed solely to temporary fluctuations, pointing instead to the possibility of irreversible structural changes in marine ecosystems caused by climate change. They also emphasized the urgent need for South Korea, Japan, and other neighboring countries to proactively establish a joint management framework to address climate change, as fishery resources such as squid migrate across national maritime boundaries. The study also demonstrated the potential to predict the occurrence of marine heatwaves in autumn and winter using early-summer La Nina indices. The research team expects these findings to contribute to proactive fisheries management and the development of policies for sustainable fishery resource management. 2026-11-03
PKNU Research 1000 Ji-Yeol Lee | Development of Next-Generation Ternary Logic Devices Pukyong National University Professor Ji-Yeol Lee Draws Attention for Developing Next-Generation Ternary Logic Devices- Achieves three logic states (0, 1, and 2) using a single polymer semiconductor … Findings published in the international journal 『Advanced Functional Materials』Professor Ji-Yeol Lee of the Department of Next-Generation Semiconductor Engineering, College of Engineering, at Pukyong National University has attracted attention for developing a ternary logic device capable of representing three distinct logic states using a single polymer semiconductor. In collaboration with a research team led by Professor Geun-Hyung Lee of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Inha University, Professor Lee successfully developed a ternary inverter that clearly distinguishes three logic states (0, 1, and 2) within a single polymer semiconductor, without requiring a complex heterojunction structure. Today’s digital electronic devices are based on binary logic, which uses two states, “0” and “1.” In contrast, Multi-Valued Logic enables a single device to represent three or more logic states, increasing information density while reducing the number of devices and interconnections required. This has attracted attention as a next-generation computing technology with the potential to overcome the limitations of Moore’s Law. However, conventional multi-valued logic devices typically rely on heterojunction structures that combine different semiconductors, making their fabrication processes complex. The joint research team addressed this challenge by utilizing the sequential occurrence of electrostatic doping and electrochemical doping in a polymer semiconductor. At low voltages, ion penetration is restricted, causing electrostatic doping to occur at the semiconductor surface. At higher voltages, ions penetrate the semiconductor, initiating electrochemical doping. The researchers confirmed that a stable intermediate conduction state forms between these two processes, in which the current remains nearly constant despite changes in voltage. When the research team performed handwritten digit recognition using the MNIST dataset, incorporating the characteristics of the actual device, the ternary neural network achieved an accuracy of 89.3%, outperforming the binary neural network, which recorded 74.1%. The findings were published on October 1 in Volume 36, Issue 44 of Advanced Functional Materials, an international journal in the field of materials science, under the title “Single-Polymer Multi-Valued Logic Enabled by Sequential Electrostatic-to-Electrochemical Doping.” Professor Ji-Yeol Lee of Pukyong National University and Professor Geun-Hyung Lee of Inha University served as corresponding authors, while doctoral student Dong-Hyun Park of Inha University participated as the first author. Professor Ji-Yeol Lee said, “In this study, we successfully achieved a stable intermediate logic state by sequentially controlling two distinct doping mechanisms in a polymer semiconductor. Our findings demonstrate the potential of this technology to serve as a foundational technology for next-generation, low-power neural network computing.” Meanwhile, this research was supported by the Basic Research Program of the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) and the Industrial Innovation Talent Development Support Program (Advanced Training Program for High-Value-Added Petrochemical Materials Specialists) of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy. 2026-11-03

PKNU Research 1000 Jae-Il Cho | Analyzes changes in adolescent behavior during heightened inter-Korean tensions in 2016 Adolescents in Border Regions Showed Increased Altruism Amid Heightened North Korean Threats in 2016- Research team led by Pukyong National University Professor Jae-Il Cho analyzes changes in adolescent behavior during heightened inter-Korean tensions in 2016- Adolescents in border regions showed increased engagement in helping friends, volunteering, donating, and environmentally responsible activities … Findings published in an SSCI-indexed international journal A recent study has found that during a period of heightened military threats from North Korea, adolescents living in areas close to the perceived threat responded by becoming more considerate of others and more willing to help those around them. A research team comprising Professor Jae-Il Cho of the Department of Economics at Pukyong National University (corresponding author), Professor Dirk Bethmann of the Department of Economics at Korea University (first author), and Professor Dara Fox of the Institute of Foreign Language Studies at Korea University (co-author) empirically analyzed the effects of external threats on individual altruistic behavior in their paper titled “In the Worst of Times, the Best of Us: External Threat and Individual Altruism at the Inter-Korean Border in 2016.” The paper was published this month in Volume 27 (2026) of Journal of Happiness Studies, an international journal indexed in the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI). The journal is highly regarded in the field of happiness and well-being research, ranking in the top 7.5% according to Journal Citation Reports (JCR), the top 5.98% based on CiteScore, and the top 4.33% according to SCImago Journal Rank (SJR). In 2016, inter-Korean tensions escalated significantly following North Korea’s fourth and fifth nuclear tests, propaganda broadcasts directed toward South Korea, and GPS jamming activities. The research team analyzed adolescents in the Seoul metropolitan area using data from the Korean Children and Youth Panel Survey (KCYPS). Applying the Difference-in-Differences (DiD) method, the researchers compared changes in adolescent behavior before and after the escalation of tensions between those living in border regions and those in non-border regions. The analysis revealed that adolescents in border regions showed a marked increase in their willingness to help friends in need, participate in community volunteer activities, and donate to impoverished countries. Environmentally responsible behaviors, such as conserving water and recycling, also increased. These findings suggest that external threats can strengthen solidarity and mutual care among community members. The research team interpreted the results as evidence that people may become more generous toward one another when facing external threats, potentially enhancing community resilience. Professor Jae-Il Cho, who led the research, said, “The significance of this study lies in its empirical demonstration that security crises can also foster care and solidarity within communities, going beyond previous research that has primarily focused on the negative effects of such crises on adolescent health. The findings offer a hopeful message that, even in the most difficult times, communities can overcome adversity through the collective strength of people helping one another.” 2026-11-03
PKNU Research 1000 Ji-Yeol Lee | Development of Next-Generation Ternary Logic Devices Pukyong National University Professor Ji-Yeol Lee Draws Attention for Developing Next-Generation Ternary Logic Devices- Achieves three logic states (0, 1, and 2) using a single polymer semiconductor … Findings published in the international journal 『Advanced Functional Materials』Professor Ji-Yeol Lee of the Department of Next-Generation Semiconductor Engineering, College of Engineering, at Pukyong National University has attracted attention for developing a ternary logic device capable of representing three distinct logic states using a single polymer semiconductor. In collaboration with a research team led by Professor Geun-Hyung Lee of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering at Inha University, Professor Lee successfully developed a ternary inverter that clearly distinguishes three logic states (0, 1, and 2) within a single polymer semiconductor, without requiring a complex heterojunction structure. Today’s digital electronic devices are based on binary logic, which uses two states, “0” and “1.” In contrast, Multi-Valued Logic enables a single device to represent three or more logic states, increasing information density while reducing the number of devices and interconnections required. This has attracted attention as a next-generation computing technology with the potential to overcome the limitations of Moore’s Law. However, conventional multi-valued logic devices typically rely on heterojunction structures that combine different semiconductors, making their fabrication processes complex. The joint research team addressed this challenge by utilizing the sequential occurrence of electrostatic doping and electrochemical doping in a polymer semiconductor. At low voltages, ion penetration is restricted, causing electrostatic doping to occur at the semiconductor surface. At higher voltages, ions penetrate the semiconductor, initiating electrochemical doping. The researchers confirmed that a stable intermediate conduction state forms between these two processes, in which the current remains nearly constant despite changes in voltage. When the research team performed handwritten digit recognition using the MNIST dataset, incorporating the characteristics of the actual device, the ternary neural network achieved an accuracy of 89.3%, outperforming the binary neural network, which recorded 74.1%. The findings were published on October 1 in Volume 36, Issue 44 of Advanced Functional Materials, an international journal in the field of materials science, under the title “Single-Polymer Multi-Valued Logic Enabled by Sequential Electrostatic-to-Electrochemical Doping.” Professor Ji-Yeol Lee of Pukyong National University and Professor Geun-Hyung Lee of Inha University served as corresponding authors, while doctoral student Dong-Hyun Park of Inha University participated as the first author. Professor Ji-Yeol Lee said, “In this study, we successfully achieved a stable intermediate logic state by sequentially controlling two distinct doping mechanisms in a polymer semiconductor. Our findings demonstrate the potential of this technology to serve as a foundational technology for next-generation, low-power neural network computing.” Meanwhile, this research was supported by the Basic Research Program of the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) and the Industrial Innovation Talent Development Support Program (Advanced Training Program for High-Value-Added Petrochemical Materials Specialists) of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy. 2026-11-03
PKNU Research 1000 Gyun Heo | Some Regions See an Increase in the Number of Schools Despite Declining School-Age Populations Some Regions See an Increase in the Number of Schools Despite Declining School-Age Populations- Pukyong National University research team analyzes changes in school-age populations and school numbers across 228 local governments nationwide over a 10-year period- School-age populations declined in 89.47% of regions, while the number of schools increased in 46.05% … Findings published in an SSCI-indexed international journalA recent study has found that although school-age populations are declining nationwide, the number of schools does not necessarily change in the same direction, with significant regional disparities. In particular, the number of schools has actually increased in many regions experiencing declining school-age populations, suggesting that the allocation of educational resources in an era of low birth rates is not determined solely by changes in student numbers. A research team comprising Xinyuan Zhang, a doctoral student in the Department of Educational Consulting at Pukyong National University’s Graduate School, Shishang Yang of Yuncheng Vocational and Technical University in China, and Professor Gyun Heo of the Department of Fisheries and Marine Industries Education at Pukyong National University analyzed the spatial relationship between changes in school-age populations and adjustments in the number of schools in South Korea, as well as evolving patterns of educational resource allocation, in their paper titled “Spatial mismatch and logical transition of basic education resource allocation in South Korea.” The paper was published in the October 2026 issue (Volume 126) of International Journal of Educational Development, an international journal indexed in the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI). Using long-term data and spatial analysis at the local government level nationwide, the study examined the relationship between declining school-age populations due to low birth rates and changes in the number of schools. The research team analyzed changes in the school-age population, defined as those aged 5 to 19, and the number of schools across 228 local governments in South Korea from 2014 to 2024. Using data from Statistics Korea and regional statistical sources, the researchers examined long-term trends and applied regression analysis and geographic information system (GIS)-based spatial statistical analysis to investigate regional relationships between changes in school-age populations and the allocation of educational resources. The findings revealed that school-age populations declined in 89.47% of local government areas nationwide, while changes in the number of schools varied considerably by region. Notably, 105 of the 228 regions (46.05%) experienced an increase in the number of schools despite declining school-age populations. These findings suggest that school distribution in an era of low birth rates is influenced not simply by changes in student numbers, but also by various factors, including new town development, the establishment of industrial zones, population migration, and regional development policies. The study also found that 99 regions (43.42%) experienced declines in both school-age populations and the number of schools, while 23 regions (10.09%) recorded increases in both. Only one region saw a decrease in the number of schools despite an increase in its school-age population. Spatial analysis revealed that declines in school-age populations were concentrated in parts of central Seoul and the surrounding areas of the Seoul metropolitan region, while relatively strong population growth was observed in the outer metropolitan areas, including southern Gyeonggi Province, and in certain industrial cities. The number of schools also showed distinct spatial patterns, with increases concentrated in the Seoul metropolitan area and around major metropolitan cities, while clusters of declining school numbers appeared in eastern and certain non-metropolitan regions. These findings highlighted a spatial disparity characterized by a “West-Strong, East-Weak” pattern. In particular, the research team found that regions attracting young people and families through new town development or the relocation of industrial facilities tend to establish schools proactively in anticipation of future demand. In contrast, in regions experiencing sustained population decline, school mergers and closures, along with reductions in educational facilities, could weaken local communities and potentially accelerate further population outflows. Professor Gyun Heo said, “The significance of this study lies in its empirical demonstration, based on 10 years of data from 228 local governments nationwide, that changes in school-age populations and adjustments in the number of schools do not necessarily follow the same patterns across regions. In particular, the findings highlight the need for educational resource allocation policies in an era of low birth rates to comprehensively consider not only student numbers but also population migration, regional development, industrial structures, and the role of schools within local communities.” Xinyuan Zhang has been dedicated to research since coming to Pukyong National University from China through the Global PKNU Graduate Degree Program for Faculty and Staff of Overseas Universities. With support from the 2025 PhiNX Graduate Research Encouragement Scholarship Program for the Protection of Academic Disciplines and the GPKNU Research Promotion Scholarship, Zhang has published papers as first author in KCI-indexed journals, including Journal of Fisheries and Marine Sciences Education. To date, Zhang has produced two KCI-indexed papers and one SSCI-indexed paper. As the first author of the present study, Zhang took a leading role in research conceptualization, methodology design, data analysis, visualization, and manuscript preparation. Shishang Yang is a researcher at the College of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Yuncheng Vocational and Technical University, China, and earned a doctoral degree from the Department of Architecture at Pukyong National University. Yang participated in this study as the corresponding author. Through an interdisciplinary approach combining education, architecture, and spatial analysis, the research team examined the spatial relationship between changes in school-age populations due to low birth rates and the distribution of school facilities. Professor Gyun Heo, who participated as a co-researcher, has conducted research in educational technology, AI-based education, big data analysis, and advanced quantitative research methodologies. He has also mentored graduate students and early-career researchers in publishing papers in domestic and international academic journals. This achievement is regarded as a notable example of interdisciplinary research that combines the educational expertise developed by Pukyong National University’s undergraduate Department of Fisheries and Marine Industries Education (Department Chair Tae-Ho Lee) and its graduate Department of Educational Consulting and Department of Fisheries and Marine Human Resources Development with research expertise from diverse disciplines, including architecture. By integrating these fields, the study sheds light on the social challenges of low birth rates and regional depopulation from the perspectives of educational resource allocation and spatial analysis. 2026-10-21
PKNU Research 1000 Dae-Seok Kim | Develops High-Power Artificial Muscle Pukyong National University Professor Dae-Seok Kim’s Team Develops High-Power Artificial Muscle by Modifying ‘Molecular Crosslinks’ in Liquid Crystal Elastomers- ‘Anisotropic Crosslinker’ developed to reinforce artificial muscles at the molecular level- More than 30% contraction with high power output … Electrically driven artificial muscle lifts a 1 kg load- Findings published in ‘Angewandte Chemie International Edition,’ a world-renowned international journal in chemistry and materials scienceResearchers at Pukyong National University have developed a high-power artificial muscle capable of maintaining strong force even at high temperatures through a new approach that modifies the structure of the “molecular connection points (crosslinks)” that make up Liquid Crystal Elastomers (LCEs). Professor Dae-Seok Kim’s research team in the Major of Polymer Engineering at Pukyong National University developed a “mesogen-mimetic anisotropic crosslinker” that resembles the rod-shaped liquid crystal mesogens forming the main chains of LCEs. This approach significantly reduces mechanical softening―the tendency of a rigid material to become softer―at high temperatures, a major limitation of conventional liquid crystal artificial muscles. Liquid crystal elastomers are soft and flexible like rubber while also being capable of contracting in response to stimuli such as heat or light, making them promising key materials for artificial muscles and soft robots. However, conventional LCEs tend to soften at the high temperatures where contraction becomes most active, making it difficult for them to sustain sufficient force. To address this issue, the research team focused on the crosslinker, which until now had been regarded simply as a component that connects and fixes polymer chains. In conventional liquid crystal elastomers, elongated, rod-shaped liquid crystal mesogens in the main chains are aligned in a specific direction, while the crosslinkers connecting these chains are generally flexible or lack a distinct directional structure. Starting from the idea, “If liquid crystal chains have directionality, why not design the crosslinkers connecting them to resemble liquid crystal mesogens as well?” the team designed a new crosslinker called PBB-TT, featuring an elongated, rigid core structure similar to that of liquid crystal mesogens. This transformed the crosslinks from simple “connection points” that hold chains together into “molecular reinforcement points” that work in harmony with the liquid crystal molecules to support and transmit force. Importantly, the new crosslinker incorporates not only a rigid structure but also flexible linking segments, preventing the material from becoming excessively stiff and restricting the movement of the liquid crystals. As a result, the LCE maintained its mechanical strength at high temperatures while preserving the large contraction characteristic of liquid crystal elastomers. The developed artificial muscle contracted by more than 30% even while supporting an actual load and maintained stable performance over repeated actuation cycles. An artificial muscle incorporating an electrical heating structure also successfully lifted a 1 kg load. The research team also utilized the material’s remaining photoreactivity to develop a technique for directly bonding LCE films to one another without using a separate adhesive. Using this technique, the researchers fabricated not only electrically driven artificial muscles but also a soft gripper capable of grasping and releasing objects. They also confirmed that damaged artificial muscles could be rejoined to recover most of their original performance. The significance of this study lies in redesigning the molecular structure of the liquid crystal elastomer itself, rather than adding separate reinforcing materials such as carbon nanotubes or graphene. While conventional LCE networks combine directionally aligned liquid crystal mesogens with non-directional crosslinks, the new approach designs the crosslinkers themselves to resemble the liquid crystal mesogens in the main chains, thereby integrating the directionality of the entire network and the transmission of force at the molecular level. Professor Dae-Seok Kim explained, “The main chains of liquid crystal elastomers already contain directionally aligned, rod-shaped mesogens, but conventional crosslinkers have largely been limited to simply connecting the chains. The key to this study was to give the crosslinkers a directional structure resembling that of liquid crystal mesogens, transforming simple molecular connection points into reinforcement points that actually support and transmit force.” He added, “For artificial muscles to perform actual work, they must not only produce large movements but also maintain sufficient force while moving. This study demonstrates the potential of high-power liquid crystal artificial muscles through a new molecular design strategy based on the structure and directionality of crosslinkers, and we expect the approach to be extended to a wide range of applications, including soft robots and wearable actuators.” The paper presenting the findings, titled “Mesogen-Mimetic Anisotropic Crosslinkers for Load-Bearing Liquid Crystal Elastomer Artificial Muscles,” was published on September 8 in Angewandte Chemie International Edition (IF 17.6), a world-renowned international journal in the fields of chemistry and materials science. 2026-10-01
PKNU Research 1000 Han-Sang Kwon | Develop Iron-Copper-Silver Composite Powder with Ferromagnetism and High Electrical Conductivity Pukyong National University and Japan’s AIST Jointly Develop Iron-Copper-Silver Composite Powder with Ferromagnetism and High Electrical Conductivity- Korea-Japan joint research achievement … Expected to be used as a conductive filler for semiconductor test sockets- Superior electrical conductivity compared with conventional nickel powder demonstrated … Patent applications underway in Korea and abroad Pukyong National University and Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) have jointly developed an iron (Fe)-copper (Cu)-silver (Ag) composite powder that combines ferromagnetism with high electrical conductivity through international collaborative research. As demand for high-performance conductive materials continues to grow with the miniaturization of semiconductors and the increasing number of pins, the newly developed material is expected to have potential applications as a conductive filler for next-generation semiconductor test sockets. Professor Han-Sang Kwon’s research team in the Major of Materials System Engineering at Pukyong National University jointly developed the Fe-Cu-Ag composite powder with researchers including Dr. Kwang-Jae Park of AIST’s Multi-Materials Research Institute and characterized its magnetic, electrical, and mechanical properties. The research findings were presented on September 11 at the 87th Autumn Meeting of the Japan Society of Applied Physics in Sapporo, Japan. The research team produced the Fe-Cu-Ag composite powder by combining ferromagnetic Fe with Cu and Ag, both of which have high electrical conductivity. In particular, the team designed an Fe:Cu:Ag mass ratio of 3:5:2 and applied gas atomization and thermal plasma methods to synthesize micro-composite powder with an average particle size of approximately 50 μm and nano-composite powder of approximately 100 nm, respectively. The developed composite powders exhibited higher electrical conductivity than nickel (Ni) powder, which is widely used in conventional semiconductor test sockets. Their saturation magnetization, a measure of the maximum magnetization a material can attain, was also higher than or comparable to that of Ni (approximately 57 emu/g), reaching approximately 63 emu/g for the micro-composite powder and 56 emu/g for the nano-composite powder. The micro-composite powder also recorded a Vickers hardness of 127 HV, higher than the 100-110 HV of Ni powder, demonstrating its potential for superior mechanical properties as well. The key to this study lies in utilizing the immiscible nature of Fe, Cu, and Ag to create a composite microstructure in which Fe provides magnetic functionality, while Cu and Ag provide high electrical conductivity. In the micro-composite powder, Fe and Cu were dispersed within an Ag-based matrix, while the nano-composite powder formed a structure in which Fe was concentrated at the center of the particles, with Cu and Ag distributed toward the outer regions. These properties are expected to make the material suitable for use as a conductive filler in elastomer-based semiconductor test sockets. Because conductive fillers provide the electrical connection between semiconductor terminals and testing equipment, they require not only high electrical conductivity but also appropriate mechanical strength and durability. In particular, the use of ferromagnetic materials makes it possible to apply a magnetic field during manufacturing to align conductive particles in the desired direction. Professor Han-Sang Kwon said, “This study presents a new material design strategy that can overcome the limitations of conventional materials by combining the ferromagnetism of Fe with the high electrical conductivity of Cu and Ag in a single composite powder. Going forward, we plan to expand its potential applications beyond semiconductor test sockets to a wide range of electronic and electrical materials in which conductive pathways can be controlled using magnetic fields.” The research team plans to optimize the powder’s composition, particle size, and microstructure for application in actual silicone rubber-based test sockets and evaluate its contact resistance, durability under repeated use, and signal transmission characteristics. Patent applications for the technology are currently underway in Korea and abroad, and the team plans to pursue its commercialization for materials used in semiconductor testing processes. 2026-10-01
PKNU Research 1000 Min-Seok Kwak | Selected as Cover Article for International Journal ‘Chem’ Pukyong National University Professor Min-Seok Kwak’s ‘DNA Ultrasound Molecular Switch’ Study Selected as Cover Article for International Journal ‘Chem’- Technology uses DNA to transmit ultrasonic force and selectively break only targeted molecular bonds- Enables precise mechanochemical reactions … Expected applications in drug delivery, biosensors, and moreProfessor Min-Seok Kwak’s research team in the Department of Chemistry at Pukyong National University has developed a new “DNA ultrasound molecular switch” platform that uses DNA to precisely transmit the mechanical force of ultrasound to specific molecular bonds, enabling selective activation of targeted bonds. The study uses DNA not as a biomolecule but as a precise molecular tool for transmitting mechanical force. Following its online publication on March 3, the research attracted attention in Korea and abroad and has now been recognized for its academic excellence by being selected as the Cover Article for the September 2026 issue (Vol. 12, No. 9) of Chem, a world-renowned journal in the field of chemistry. Published by Cell Press, Chem is a leading journal covering all areas of chemistry and selects only one study per issue to feature on its cover. The paper, titled “DNA-mediated force transmission for precise and efficient mechanochemical activation,” lists Dr. Gyu-Rin Kim of Pukyong National University as the first author, with Professor Min-Seok Kwak of Pukyong National University and Professor Andreas Herrmann of RWTH Aachen University in Germany as corresponding authors. Professors Hyun-Wook Kang and Hae-Gyun Lim of the Major of Biomedical Engineering at Pukyong National University also participated as co-researchers. The research team overcame the limitations of conventional mechanochemical techniques by utilizing the structural properties of the DNA double helix to concentrate the mechanical force generated by ultrasound at specific sites. Experiments showed that the team successfully cleaved specifically designed force-responsive molecular bonds with high selectivity and efficiency without damaging the DNA itself. In particular, DNA structures longer than 250 base pairs (bp) achieved a cleavage rate of 99.9% at the target site within 15 minutes. In experiments using 1 MHz low-intensity ultrasound under skin-like conditions, the system also consistently achieved more than 80% selective cleavage without DNA damage, demonstrating its potential for applications in actual biological environments. A key feature of the study is the ability to control the magnitude of transmitted mechanical force by adjusting the length of the DNA. Using PCR, the researchers varied the DNA length from 100 to 1,000 base pairs and found that longer DNA transmitted greater force to the target molecule. These findings provide a foundation for designing molecular-level mechanical reactions by controlling experimental parameters such as ultrasound frequency and DNA length. The newly developed technology has the potential to be extended to a wide range of biomaterial applications, including ultrasound-triggered drug release systems, biosensors, and mechanically responsive therapeutic materials, as it enables specific molecular bonds to be activated at targeted locations by applying ultrasound externally. The cover of the September 2026 issue of Chem illustrates the principle behind the study through the metaphor of piloting a submersible. It depicts a researcher turning dials representing ultrasound frequency and DNA length to precisely activate a single targeted molecular bond in an aqueous environment. Against a backdrop of ultrasound operating underwater, the DNA double helix is portrayed as a force-transmission device, while the mechanophore at the center of the DNA represents the target site where the ultrasonic force is concentrated. The cover also visually captures a key feature of the study: the ability to control the mechanochemical activation of a targeted molecular bond by adjusting parameters such as ultrasound frequency and DNA length. Professor Min-Seok Kwak said, “If conventional polymer-based mechanophores are like hammers that distribute force broadly, this DNA-based mechanophore is more like a surgical scalpel that precisely targets a specific molecular bond. We expect this platform combining ultrasound and DNA to eventually develop into a precision therapeutic technology capable of releasing drugs at the desired location inside the body at the right time.” The research team plans to further expand the platform by integrating it with various biomaterials, including DNA nanostructures and nanoparticle assemblies, for applications such as ultrasound-activated drug delivery systems, biosensors, and mechanically responsive therapeutic materials. The study was supported by the Nano and Materials Technology Development Program and the Regional Innovation Leading Research Center Program funded by the Ministry of Science and ICT and the National Research Foundation of Korea. 2026-10-01
PKNU Research 1000 Gyun Heo | ‘Educational Drama’ Proven Effective in Enhancing Core Competencies Korea-China Joint Study on the Effects of Educational Drama on Core Competencies to Be Published in International Journal- Study demonstrates educational drama’s effectiveness in enhancing creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration skills- Paper by Pukyong National University and Changzhi University research team accepted for publication in ‘Frontiers in Psychology’A study has found that educational drama can have an overall positive effect on enhancing students’ key competencies, including creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration. Doctoral students Yuan Li and Xinyuan Zhang of the Department of Education Consulting at Pukyong National University Graduate School and Professor Gyun Heo of the Department of Fisheries and Marine Industries Education systematically analyzed the effects of educational drama on students’ key competencies in their paper, “The Effects of Educational Drama on Students’ Key Competencies: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.” The paper has been accepted for publication in the Educational Psychology section of Volume 17 (2026) of Frontiers in Psychology, an SSCI-indexed international journal, and is currently awaiting final publication. The study is significant in that it evaluates the effects of educational drama through a meta-analysis synthesizing multiple controlled studies, rather than relying on individual cases. The research team systematically searched major academic databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and ProQuest Central, while using Google Scholar as a supplementary source to review studies on educational drama published through 2025. Of the 1,855 studies initially identified, the team selected 27 controlled studies that examined the effects of educational drama on key competencies such as creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration, and conducted a meta-analysis of data from a total of 2,239 participants. The analysis found that educational drama had an overall positive effect on enhancing students’ key competencies, including creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration. The findings suggest that participation-centered educational drama activities, such as role-playing, scenario-based activities, improvisation, and collaborative interaction, can contribute to improving students’ thinking, expressive, and interpersonal skills. Professor Gyun Heo said, “This study is significant in that it quantitatively synthesizes the educational value of educational drama from the perspective of 21st-century key competencies. In particular, its publication in an SSCI-indexed international journal provides international academic evidence supporting the effectiveness of educational drama in enhancing key competencies.” Meanwhile, Yuan Li, a member of the research team, has been dedicated to research since coming to Pukyong National University from China through the Global PKNU Graduate Degree Program for Faculty and Staff of Overseas Universities. Li is currently an associate professor in the Department of Journalism and New Media at Changzhi University in China, while pursuing a doctoral degree in the Department of Education Consulting at Pukyong National University Graduate School. With support from the 2025 PhiNX Graduate Student Research Encouragement Scholarship Program for Academic Fields in Need of Protection and the GPKNU Research Promotion Scholarship, Li has achieved notable research outcomes, including publishing a first-author paper in the KCI-indexed Journal of Fisheries and Marine Sciences Education. To date, Li has published two papers in KCI-indexed journals. In addition, Xinyuan Zhang has been dedicated to research since coming to Pukyong National University from China through the Global PKNU Graduate Degree Program for Faculty and Staff of Overseas Universities. With support from the 2025 PhiNX Graduate Student Research Encouragement Scholarship Program for Academic Fields in Need of Protection and the GPKNU Research Promotion Scholarship, Zhang has achieved notable research outcomes, including publishing a first-author paper in the KCI-indexed Journal of Fisheries and Marine Sciences Education.

This achievement is regarded as an example of Pukyong National University’s global research competitiveness, demonstrating the international expansion of the educational research capabilities accumulated by the Department of Fisheries and Marine Industries Education at the undergraduate level and the Department of Education Consulting and Department of Fisheries and Marine Human Resources Development at the graduate level. 2026-10-01
PKNU Research 1000 Joong-Ho Shin | On-Site Diagnostic Technology Developed to Detect Vibrio Bacteria within One Hour Vibrio Testing That Once Took a Full Day Can Now Be Completed in Just One Hour- Pukyong National University Researchers Develop On-Site Diagnostic Technology for Vibrio Bacteria- Paper-Based Diagnostic Device Automates Complex Genetic Testing Researchers at Pukyong National University have developed a paper-based diagnostic device capable of detecting Vibrio vulnificus, a potentially fatal foodborne bacterium found in seafood such as oysters, on site in approximately one hour. Unlike conventional commercial test kits, which rely on laboratory-based testing that requires specialized equipment and trained personnel, the newly developed portable device mechanically automates the processes of genetic amplification and detection. This allows the device to be used relatively easily in the field or at small-scale facilities. Vibrio vulnificus is a bacterium found in seawater and seafood. Infection can occur through the consumption of contaminated raw oysters and other seafood or through open wounds, potentially causing sepsis and tissue necrosis. Rapid detection and management are particularly important because the bacterium can be fatal for people with liver disease or weakened immune systems. Commercial real-time PCR kits currently widely used for food safety testing can identify multiple Vibrio species with high accuracy. However, the testing process is complex, requiring samples to be cultured for a certain period and then analyzed using PCR equipment in a specialized laboratory. Results typically take about a day, while the need for expensive equipment and trained personnel limits the use of these methods in field settings.  The device, developed by a research team including doctoral student Won Han of the Department of Industry 4.0 Convergence Bionics Engineering at Pukyong National University as the first author and Professor Joong-Ho Shin of the Major of Biomedical Engineering as the corresponding author, addresses the limitations of conventional testing methods. After a sample is collected from an oyster’s gills using a swab and its DNA is extracted, the sample and buffer solution are placed on a paper pad inside the device. Once the spring mechanism is wounded, the device operates automatically, sequentially carrying out genetic amplification and detection reactions. The device minimizes complex fluid handling and multi-step manual procedures. After approximately one hour, the test result can be determined simply by visually checking the test line that appears on the paper strip. No complex equipment is required, other than maintaining a temperature of approximately 37°C. In pure cultures, the device was able to detect as little as a single bacterial cell per reaction. It also reliably identified contamination in oysters raised in seawater artificially contaminated with Vibrio bacteria. In addition, the device was able to distinguish the target bacterium from other closely related Vibrio species. The paper-based reaction pads maintained their performance with little degradation even after being stored at room temperature for several weeks. The researchers said, “While existing commercial PCR kits are designed primarily for laboratory-based testing, this device focuses on automating the testing process so that it can be used relatively easily in the field or at small-scale facilities.” They added, “By changing the reagents to target specific pathogens, we expect the device could also be applied to the detection of a wide range of pathogens.” The study, titled “Field-Deployable Paper-Based Detection of Vibrio vulnificus via Mechanically Automated Sequential RPA/CRISPR-Cas12a,” was published in the August issue of ACS Sensors (IF 10.9), an international journal in the field of sensor research. The study was supported by the Core Research Program of the National Research Foundation of Korea, the Academic Research Support Program for Science and Engineering Fields of the Ministry of Education (including the Doctoral Student Research Incentive Program and the University-Focused Research Institute Support Program - Marine Bionics Convergence Technology Center), and the Ministry of Education’s BK21 Program (Smart Healthcare Program for New Seniors). 2026-09-08
