Six nuclear technology startups will present their innovations to investors on November 4, ranging from reactor maintenance tools to satellite propulsion systems. The event marks a turning point as nuclear technology ventures seek early-stage funding in fields once considered too slow-moving for startup investment.
A tech company is solving a major maintenance headache at South Korean power plants by creating homemade parts for water recycling systems. The innovation could clean up wastewater across multiple industries.
South Korean researchers have created rover wheels that fold like origami, shrinking to half their size to fit inside lunar landers before expanding on the moon. The fireproof wheels could help explore underground lava tubes that might one day shelter human colonies.
A South Korean company just solved one of the biggest problems holding back humanoid robots. By removing a useless layer that took up 95% of battery space, IL created tiny batteries that pack 10 times more power.
A South Korean astronomer just answered one of space science's oldest questions: how the building blocks of planets traveled through our early solar system. Her discovery using the James Webb Space Telescope earned her the nation's top monthly science honor.
South Korea just announced an ambitious plan to build two types of quantum computers by 2029, refusing to let the US-China tech race leave them behind. The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science is developing both a 100-qubit superconducting system and a groundbreaking 1,000-qubit neutral-atom computer simultaneously.
A South Korean startup just held the country's first tasting of cell-based coffee grown without traditional farms. As climate change threatens to wipe out half the world's coffee-growing regions by 2050, this breakthrough could keep your morning cup sustainable.
South Korea just became the first country to certify 3D printing technology for repairing damaged metal parts on ships and military equipment. Instead of replacing entire components, this breakthrough lets crews restore just the broken sections, saving time and money.
South Korean researchers just cracked a major puzzle in creating ultra-sharp displays for next-generation AR glasses and VR headsets. The breakthrough could bring us closer to lightweight devices with crystal-clear visuals that don't drain batteries.
A smaller tech company just beat out seven major competitors to build South Korea's first hydrogen tram charging station in Daejeon, marking a major step toward zero-emission public transit. The facility will fuel trams that travel over 200 kilometers without producing any carbon dioxide.
Samsung Medical Center will lead a five-year initiative to develop AI-powered surgical robots that could transform operating rooms across Korea. The government-backed project brings together hospitals, tech companies, and research institutions to solve real problems surgeons face every day.
South Korea just approved game-changing hydrogen projects that solve two of clean energy's biggest headaches: making it cheaper and storing it where people actually live. The breakthrough could speed up the country's shift away from fossil fuels in heavy industry.
