Successful commercialization of shape-adjustable pressure tank   Professors Daejun Chang and Pål G. Bergan (who worked on the project from 2009 to 2015 and is now retired) of the KAIST mechanical engineering department developed a prismatic pressure tank technology that can control the shape freely and was successfully commercialized. The technology was applied to the LNG fuel tank (15 m3, 9 bare) of a ...

Clarifying complex redox behavior of zirconium in molten LiCl-KCl salt   So far, the electrochemical behavior of Zr in molten LiCl-KCl salt has been contradictory and controversial in the literature due to its electrochemical complexity. Prof. Jong-Il Yun’s group has resolved the start button for this contradiction for the first time on the basis of a unique comproportionation reaction of Zr in molten ...

Stealth performance evaluation technology: scanning free space measurement system   A key technology that evaluates the stealth performance of a whole specimen automatically was developed through a scanning free space measurement system (SFSM system). This system combines a free space measurement system (FSM system) with focused horn antennas and a two-axis linear stage that enables the automatized measuremen...
