Park I-seul published the latest study results on the findings of neuron development acceleration through adjustment of nano-bio interface with the title “Axon-First Neuritogenesis on Vertical Nanowires” on the January 13 issue of the globally renowned nano science academic journal “Nano Letters.” Nano Letters is an international SCI journal published by the ACS Company in the U.S. that boasts world-class expertise in nano science with impact factor of 13.592.
This research was jointly conducted with team of professors Choi In-seong (KAIST, Department of Chemistry), Nam Yun-gi (KAIST, Bio and Brain Engineering), Yun Myeong-han (GIST, Advanced Material Engineering). The research focused on the acceleration of neuron development on a silicon nanowire array board that is vertically raised, and the in-vivo mechanism where the neurons recognize the surface topography was directly reproduced on top of the surface topography of in-vitro nano structure through the adjustment of the nano-bio interface.
Jeong Da-hi published her latest research results on the formation mechanism of anisotropic graphene domains in the February 17 issue of the internationally renowned academic journal “Scientific Reports” with the title “Surface Diffusion Directed Growth of Anisotropic Graphene Domains on Different Copper Lattices.” Scientific Report is a sister journal of the most prestigious academic journal in the world, Nature, and it is an online open access journal that deals with all areas of natural sciences.
This research was conducted through the support of Future Convergence Technology Pioneering Project, Nano Material Technology Development Project, and Junior Core Research Support Project that are being promoted by the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning, and the National Research Foundation of Korea. This research focused on the fact that the spreading direction of carbon atoms adsorbed on copper substrate is affected by grid array of copper substrate when graphene is synthesized in a state of high vacuum, and the formation mechanism of the graphene domains on a copper substrate with various grid array was identified for the first time.
Meanwhile, Park I-seul (Department of Chemistry: ‘07) and Jeong Da-hi (Department of Chemistry: ‘06) have currently moved onto doctoral programs in the chemistry department of our university and UCLA in the U.S., respectively, after acquiring the master’s degree (academic advisor: Lee Jin-seok) from our university’s chemistry department. In particular, Park I-seul and her academic advisor Professor Lee Jin-seok have been invited as Visiting Fellow by Professor Park Hong-geun at Harvard University’s chemistry department from January to August, and they are jointly researching “bio-imaging research using nano-diamond” with the Harvard research team.
