research KAIST Develops AI That Can Sense “That’s Not What I Meant” Without Being Told
A future in which AI can recognize a person’s unspoken “that’s not what I meant” response from brain signals and adjust its behavior on its own is coming closer. KAIST researchers have developed a technology that detects cognitive mismatch between humans and AI through brainwaves, enabling AI systems to revise their actions in real time according to human goals. The achievement is expected to accelerate the shift from AI that follows explicit commands to AI that can inf

research Vitamin A Derivative Preserves T Cells’ Function as KAIST Points to a New Strategy for Treating Intractable Brain Tumors
Immune cells can become exhausted after prolonged exposure to cancer, gradually losing their ability to attack tumor cells. This phenomenon is particularly pronounced in aggressive brain tumors and can severely limit the effectiveness of immunotherapy. A KAIST research team has now discovered that all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), a vitamin A derivative, may help prevent such exhaustion and enhance the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors. KAIST (President Choongsik Bae) announced on Septem

research KAIST Identifies Cause of Artifacts in Battery Nanoscale Analysis, Paving the Way for More Reliable Measurements
A signal that appears to show ions moving inside a battery may, in fact, be an illusion caused by an uneven surface. A KAIST research team has identified the origin of this type of artifacts, which can lead researchers to misinterpret what is happening inside a battery, and has developed a method to reduce it. The findings are expected to enable more accurate analysis of ion movement and improve the reliability of next-generation battery-material development, including that of solid-state and

research Weak Hydrogen Bonds Dethrone Copper's Stability, Opening a New Path for Ion Selection
Copper has been knocked off the top of a stability ranking it had dominated for decades. Without altering the atoms directly bonded to the metal, a KAIST research team reversed the longstanding trend in which copper generally forms the most stable complexes by tuning only the weak hydrogen bonds in its surrounding environment. The findings could open new avenues for selective metal separation and recognition, as well as catalyst design. KAIST (President Choongsik Bae) announced on September 6
