SEOUL, Jan. 30 (Korea Bizwire) — Korea’s wearable thermo-element technology, which can recharge batteries through skin contact, was selected as one of the top innovations of the year by UNESCO.
The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) announced on January 29 that its “wearable thermoelectric device” was selected as one of the top ten IT innovations at the 2015 Netexplo Awards, presented in partnership with UNESCO.
The Netexplo Awards are given annually to tech inventions worldwide that have had a major influence on human life in areas such as energy, environment and education.
Last April, Professor Cho Byung-jin and his research fellows developed the world’s first wearable element by realizing thermoelectric film on fiberglass. The wearable element can effectively generate electricity from human body heat, is very light and thin, and can easily be integrated into clothing.
Wearable devices are expected to stand at the center of future electronics, but batteries that need to be recharged frequently consist of a challenging problem. With its minimal weight and high generation capability, the technology is rising as a key to solve the battery problem for wearable devices.
In addition, it can be applied to a variety of devices generating waste heat, such as equipment in cars, planes and factories. As part of its efforts, the KAIST research team has established a start-up named TEGway to pursue commercialization of the technology.
For the UNESCO Netexplo Awards, about 200 IT experts vote to pick 10 winners. The award ceremony will be held in Paris on February 4. Among the 10 finalists, the one that receives the most online votes will be honored as the 2015 Grand Prix winner.
Other top ten awardees include an eco-friendly “W.Afate 3D Printer,” a recycled smartphone based on an anti-deforestation scheme dubbed “Rainforest Connection,” a big data empowered education web known as “Branching Minds,” a math coaching app called “PhotoMath,” and smart chopsticks that analyze the ingredients in dishes called “Baidu Kuai Sou.”

“A Stamp Of Approval For Graphene Transfer” from Asian Scientist Magazine
Asian Scientist (Jan. 30, 2015) – Researchers have developed a new technique to produce a single-layer graphene from a metal etching. The research findings, published as the lead article in the journal Small, mean that transferring a graphene layer onto a circuit board can be done as easily as stamping a seal on paper.
This technology will allow different types of wafer transfer methods such as transfer onto a surface of a device or a curved surface and large surface transfer onto a four inch wafer. It can be applied in the field of wearable smart gadgets through commercialization of graphene electronic devices.
The traditional method used to transfer graphene onto a circuit board is a wet transfer. However, wet transfer faces serious drawbacks as the graphene layer can be damaged or contaminated during the transfer process from residue from the metal etching. This may affect the electrical properties of the transferred graphene.
Instead, a team of researchers led by Professor Choi Sung-Yool from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have adopted a stamping approach. After a graphene growth substrate formed on a catalytic metal substrate is pretreated in an aqueous poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) solution, a PVA film forms on the pretreated substrate. The substrate and the graphene layers bond strongly. The graphene is then lifted from the growth substrate by means of an elastomeric stamp.
The delaminated graphene layer is isolated state from the elastomeric stamp and thus can be freely transferred onto a circuit board. As the catalytic metal substrate can be reused and does not contain harmful chemical substances, such transfer method is very eco-friendly.
“As the new graphene transfer method has a wide range of applications and allows a large surface transfer, it will contribute to the commercialization of graphene electronic devices,” Choi said.
He added that “because this technique has a high degree of freedom in transfer process, it has a variety of usages for graphene and two dimensional nano-devices.”

Graduate students Seong-Hwan Kim, Kyung-No Joo, Yun-Gi Ha, and Gyu-Beom Choi (advisor : Chan-Hyun Youn) received Best Paper Award from 5th International Conference on Cloud Computing (CloudComp2014) for the paper titled “A Phased Workflow Scheduling Scheme with Task Division Policy in Cloud Broker.
PhD Kiseok Song (advisor : Hoi-Jun Yoo) received Marconi Society Paul Baran Young Scholar Award. He has published around 30 papers and 10 patents.
Most scientists today agree that basic research is not being supported as it should be. Long relied-upon funding sources for basic research are increasingly focused on shorter-term payoffs, and are being cut back even as needs and opportunities accelerate. The Marconi Society can make a difference by strongly advocating for more public and private investment in science education and research and by becoming a source of mentorship and encouragement for top students in the field.
In 2008, with a generous donation from 2007 Marconi Fellow Professor Ron Rivest, we created and launched the Young Scholars Award, selecting four scholars at U.S. universities to receive financial stipends and travel funds to attend our annual Awards Gala and to connect with some of the most sought-after mentors in the world, Marconi Fellows. Young Scholars make a commitment to remain involved in our organization, to attend future events, and to help us reach out and motivate other exceptional young scholars.
