POSTECH Develops World’s First Pixel-Based Local Sound OLED with Multi-Speaker Functionality on a Real Working 13-Inch Tablet sized OLED Display.

Research team from Nanjing University proposed FOCUS, a causal model-based offline RL algorithm, which uses causal structure to improve policy generalization, outperforming baselines in offline settings.

Research team introduced clustered reinforcement learning (CRL), a novel RL framework for efficient exploration in large state spaces or sparse reward environments. CRL combines state novelty and quality through clustering, significantly improving exploration performance in continuous control tasks and Atari games.

The research team—Dr. Hyun Kim at the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology (KRICT), Prof. Habeom Lee at Pusan National University, and Prof. Taylor H. Ware at Texas A&M University—successfully developed artificial muscles based on azobenzene-functionalized semicrystalline liquid crystal elastomers (AC-LCEs) that actuate in response to light.

University of Tennessee Assistant Professor Mahshid Ahmadi and Assistant Professor Jonghee Yang contributed to two significant research projects on perovskites, published in Nature journals. These breakthroughs, involving international collaboration, advance the potential of perovskites for technologies like solar panels and LEDs. Ahmadi’s lab integrates traditional methods with machine learning for high-throughput material creation and characterization.
