- College of Science and University of Florence Established Academic Tie
- The College of Science and the University of Florence has agreed to closely cooperate with each other by signing the academic and student exchange agreement in September 2015. The new partnership was heavily supported by Professor Cheon Gi-sang at the department of mathematics and is expected to help each institution enhance global collaboration in education, learning and research. It also has significance that this is CS’s first partnership with Italian University. The CS will work on developing joint-program for students, researchers and professors.

- Valedictorian Chemistry Ph.D. BAE Hanyong Made a Speech at Commencement 2015 Spring
- Being honored to be selected as a valedictorian of the commencement ceremony 2015 spring, chemistry Ph.D. BAE Hanyong make a speech to the audiences last Thursday. He finished all of his degrees at SKKU Department of Chemistry under the academic and research guidance of professor SONG Choong-eui and has made distinguished achievements in the field of organic chemistry. Being selected as a recipient of the Global Ph.D. Fellowship, which is presumably the biggest government grant scheme for graduate students, is obviously one of those. He also have a couple of patents and got his researches published in the globally-renowned chemistry journals, such as Angewandte Chemie. His next step toward the success is to start his new academic career at Max Planck Institutes in Germany as a post-doctorate researcher.

- Bioscience and Chemistry’s Advancement of College Education (ACE) Project In Progress
- The Department of Biological Science and Chemistry are currently working on their project named Development of Multimedia-based Creative Laboratory for Undergraduate Basic Sciences Studies as a part of the Advancement of College Education (ACE)。The ACE Program had been initiated by the Ministry of Education and SKKU has won the first period’s grant in 2011 and the second year as well in 2014, consecutively. Tossing a chip in the basket, the College of Science was able to successfully get it’s plan approved and pull off the government grant of 300 million KRW for 4 years from 2014 to 2017. Presently, the department of bioscience and chemistry are filming the experiment demonstration and expecting to get all video clip produced by the end of this year for 22-24 experiment subjects of each major.

- SKKU team develops world’s thinnest semiconductor, thickness of 0.25 nm
- SungKyunKwan University(SKKU) research team have developed the world’s thinnest semiconductor, a thickness of an atomic layer. On June 25, SKKU Department of Physics Prof. Ahn Jong-real’s team announced that they were successful in developing a thin film semiconductor with a thickness of 0.25nm (Nanometer: 1nm is 1 over 1 billion m), the maximum limit for nano fabrication. Compared with the thinnest in use 15nm semiconductor,it is 1/60, and with the next generation 10nm semiconductor, it is 1/40 the thickness. The research team was able to achieve this by placing graphene and boron nitride alloy on the silicon carbide semiconductor substrate which reduced it to 0.25nm. Taking notice that both graphene and boron nitride take on a a honeycomb,6 sided, structure, they placed them horizontally. After fabrecating the semiconductor circuit to make the basic transistor structure, in this way, they conducted a test to find out the function was exactly the same with that of existing transistors. Professor Ahn said, ‘If we have the technology to mass produce silicon carbide substrate cheaply, than this semiconductor product would be in a market in a next 4 years.’

- Indiana University Vice Provost for Graduate Education Daleke Visited CS for Summer Internship Program
- David Daleke, Vice Provost for Graduate Education and Health Sciences, visited the College of Science June 19, 2015 in order to discuss summer internship program at IU with Professor Yu In-tae, Han, Jung-hoon of the Department of Physics and Mr. Kim Kyuseok of the College of Science Office. It was a continuation of the ongoing discussion between the IU Graduate School and the SKKU College of Science initiated in October 2014 when Professor Dalake had visited SKKU for the first time for general understanding of SKKU science programs. Both parties agreed to further confer on the internship program and agreement, aiming to put the program in place from 2016 summer.

- Prof. Tuson Park ‘High temperature superconductivity’ mystery revealed
- A researcher in Korea is receiving attention for revealing that one of the unanswered mysteries of solid state physics, unconventional superconductivity , arises from ‘quantum fluctuations associated with the anti-ferromagnetic quantum critical point’. The National Research Foundation of Korea announced on May 7, that the research lead by Prof. Tuson Park and Ph.D. student Soon-beom Seo, both from the Department of Physics at Sungkyunkwan University, has revealed the underlying mechanism of high temperature superconductivity. The characteristics of the superconductors are dictated by the electron pairs. Even though the glue of the electron pairs of conventional superconductors has already been well understood, the pairing mechanism for unconventional superconductors has yet to be established. The research team added a small amount of tin(Sn) and applied external pressure to ‘CeRhln5’, the material that is known to possess the unconventional superconducting electron pairs. This study showed that the superconducting phenomena reacted in step with the change in external conditions. The quantum critical point, the assumed source of superconductivity, precisely pinned the superconducting phase transition temperature. The research team explained that these experimental evidences underline that quantum fluctuations are the glue for electron Cooer pairs to exhibit unconventional superconductivity. “This research not only sheds light to further understand the 30 year old mystery of high temperature superconductivity, but also is an astonishing report that can create new industrial possibilities by providing a blue print for room-temperature superconductivity” asserts Prof. Park. The research which was conducted through the Creative Research Program funded by the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning along with the National Research Foundation of Korea, was published in the March 4 issue of the journal ‘Nature Communications’.
