Yonsei Advanced Science Institute

On the 16th of February 2022, the President of Yonsei University Health System(YUHS) and the Director of Medical Science Research of YUHS visited Yonsei ASI.

On the 4th of February 2022, The Vice President and the Director of Research Support Headquarters of IBS visited IBS CNM.

On Thursday, January 20th, 2022, the second Special Seminar of IBS CNM & NanoBME will be held at the Auditorium at IBS Hall at 4 p.m.

On the 10th of January 2022, the Kick-off Meeting of IBS CNM was held at the Auditorium at IBS Hall.

The presentation will highlight recently demonstration of the anticipated benefits of the upconverted hot electrons in several photocatalytic reduction and redox-neutral reactions. Development of new material platform for more efficient hot electron upconversion and the prospects of expanding the application of the energetic hot electrons in beyond photocatalysis will be discussed.

On the 17th of December, 2021, the secretary of Ministry of Science and ICT(MSIT) visited IBS CNM.

In this talk, we discuss the recent progress in the design and fabrication, modeling and simulation, and actuation and control of magnetic soft materials and robots. We discuss the continuum mechanical framework for hard-magnetic soft materials and design guidelines for optimal performance of magnetic soft actuators. We then discuss the potential of magnetic soft robots for biomedical applications, focusing on our example of magnetic soft continuum robots towards telerobotic neurointervention for treating stroke and aneurysms.

In this seminar, magnetically actuated small scale magnetic robots will be presented. The magnetic actuation has advantages over conventional robotic actuation methods based on linkages, because of directly and remotely addressable magnetic forces and torques. In medical robotics, such favorable properties can minimize the invasiveness of diagnostic and surgical procedures. In this talk, this will be shown in two applications: magnetically actuated soft capsule endoscopes and magnetically actuated milli-scale robots for neural navigation. By applying the magnetic principles to the robotics methods, such as design, localization, calibration and control methods, the magnetically actuated robots are designed, fabricated, and controlled at our command. This talk will focus on the use of magnetics into robotic systems, dealing with interesting properties of magnetic actuation, and showing how this technology can be seamlessly combined with the current medical technologies.

Science Factory@Yonsei Season VI will be held on Monday, 5th, January 2022. The application will begin next Monday. Feel free to send your application!

IBS Conference on Nanomachines for Biotechnology and Medicine was held at The Plaza and Yonsei University between two days 8-9th November 2021.
