Since the Corona era, people's interest in health management has increased significantly compared to before. In addition, the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria through antibiotics has begun to have a great impact on human health. Therefore, the research team would like to report the synergy effect of antibacterial activity using wearable organic light-emitting diodes and natural antibacterial substances against staphylococcus aureus. This is research on a platform that is more convenient than past treatment methods and can suppress the development of multidrug-resistant staphylococcus aureus.

Fruit firmness is one of the most critical traits influencing apple quality, consumer acceptance, and postharvest performance. 

In a groundbreaking study that combines innovative material science with environmental engineering, researchers are exploring how phosphorus-modified bamboo biochar can effectively immobilize Cd(II) ions in solution. The study, titled "Immobilization of Cd(II) by Phosphorus-Modified Bamboo Biochar from Solution: Mechanistic Study from Qualitative to Quantitative Analysis," is led by Prof. Guangcai Chen from the Research Institute of Subtropical Forestry at the Chinese Academy of Forestry in Hangzhou, China, and Prof. Zhengguo Song from the Department of Materials and Environmental Engineering at Shantou University in Shantou, China. This research offers a detailed examination of the adsorption mechanisms and soil amelioration potential of this novel biochar.

Sugars are central not only to plant growth but also to fruit taste and resilience.

A KIER research team led by Dr. Yu-Jin Han and Dr. Sang-Hoon Park has developed a core technology to refine industrial graphite byproducts into high-purity anode materials for lithium-ion batteries, a breakthrough that could greatly lessen reliance on imported graphite.

Plants must defend themselves against relentless insect herbivores.
