■ Seo Young-deok / Director of Nanotechnology Convergence Research Group, Molecular Advanced Detection Group, Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology Bravo K-SCIENTIST's 77th protagonist, cheering on and looking into the research and lives of scientists leading science in Korea! Dr. Seo Young-deok In January of this year, there was a Korean scientist who made the cover of Nature, the world's most prestigious scientific journal. That protagonist is Dr. Seo Young-deok, Director of the Molecular Advanced Detection Group at the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology. His research team succeeded in synthesizing nanoparticles with a special structure that can confirm the photoavalanche phenomenon. Photoavalanche is a phenomenon in which light amplifies like an avalanche when a small amount of light is shined on a nanoparticle. This achievement has attracted great attention from the scientific community as it has infinite potential for application in next-generation biomedical technology, IoT technology, and new and renewable energy technology. Previously, Dr. Seo presented a solution to the problem of quantitative reproducibility of Raman signals, which had been a difficult problem for about 80 years. By developing a molecular nano microscope himself, he was able to unlock the secrets of the nano world that cannot be seen with the naked eye. The molecular nano microscope is the world's first combined nano optical microscope that combines laser, atomic, and nano optics. It simultaneously shows various molecular chemical information and 3D information, so nano phenomena can be observed in detail with vivid colors. Let's take a look at the story of Dr. Seo Young-deok, who is pioneering a new field of study, from developing a microscope to proving new characteristics of the nano world. #Nature #Nanoparticle #Photoavalanche #Nobel Prize #Light Energy #Solar Cell The world's first, unlocking the secrets of molecular nano! / YTN Science [YTN Science original article] https://science.ytn.co.kr/program/pro...
