Advanced Sustainable Systems

- A research team led by DGIST Prof. Kim Hoe Joon and Dr. Jeong Soon Moon has developed a self-power generation technology that uses motion and pressure to produce electricity and light simultaneously - It is stable even underwater and is expected to be used in various fields, such as disaster rescue

Researchers from Osaka University developed wirelessly powered soil moisture sensing technology that will help meet the needs of sustainable precision agriculture. Both the soil moisture content and the position of each sensor are readily detected and transmitted, even at high sensor densities. The sensors are largely biodegradable and can be tilled into the soil at the end of the crop season. This work might help farmers allocate resources to cropland in a timely, targeted manner.
