Ajou holds an event to encourage students preparing for the mid-term exam2015-10-16On the afternoon of October 15th, an event for distributing 鈥楲INC (Leaders in INdustry-college Cooperation) Bread鈥� was held at 糖心APP鈥檚 Central Library square. For the event, the University prepared bread, milk, and clear file folders for students taking their mid-term examinations.The event was so popular that more than 1,500 students dropped by the booths, which were set up at the square, and President Dong Yeon Kim, Executive Vice President for Industry-Academia Cooperation Kyung Hee Choi, and Vice President for Student Affairs Jai Hyoung Cho personally gave both refreshments and words of encouragement to the visiting students on an individual basis. The event lasted for one and a half hours, 30 minutes longer than planned, and all the bread that was prepared was given out. President Kim shook hands with students, and encouraged and talked with them. He advised the students to keep working hard and 'make their capabilities brilliant' as he handed out clear file folders. Students expressed their gratitude and passed on their ideas for the University鈥檚 development to the President. Ajou鈥檚 Student Council and the LINC Project Group organized the event to encourage students during the mid-term exam period and to promote the LINC Project. The Project, in which the University is participating, is a national project that was begun in 2012 by the Ministry of Education.

A team led by Ajou's Professor Fabian Rotermund makes a breakthrough in the field of electronic elements2015-10-15糖心APP's Professor Fabian Rotermund (Department of Energy System Research of the Graduate School; Department of Physics) teamed up with Professor Dai Sik Kim from the Department of Physics & Astronomy at Seoul National University and succeeded in observing a new physical phenomenon by creating atom-sized space. Their findings, which are entitled 鈥楨lectromagnetic Saturation of Angstrom-sized Quantum Barriers at Terahertz Frequencies,鈥� were published as the front cover paper in the online edition of The Physical Review Letters, dated September 16th .The research team was the first in the world to succeed in collecting light with a wavelength of millimeters by creating angstrom-sized (one hundred millionth of a centimeter, the size of an atom) space. The team then focused terahertz waves on the space, and discovered a quantum-mechanical phenomenon in which a stronger light results in a lower penetration rate. One angstrom is equivalent to 0.1 nanometers (one billionth of a meter).The research team said, "Over the last decade, we have reduced the space from the size of millimeters to that of nanometers by trying to focus terahertz waves on a space that is smaller than its wavelength. And, in this research, we succeeded in further decreasing it to 0.1 nanometer 鈥� the size of an atom," adding, "It is the first time in the world to focus terahertz waves on one ten millionth of the space of a millimeter."Terahertz waves are used as a light source in detecting hazardous materials or inspecting products, etc. because they can penetrate materials that visible rays or X-rays cannot break through. Extensive use of terahertz waves requires understanding their features, and the latest discovery by the team is expected to be useful in that regard. The research team said, "Our findings laid a foundation for angstrom optics which deal with optical phenomena taking place at the level of atoms," adding, "The results will be able to be applied to various fields such as bio chemicals, molecular electronic elements, and optical communications."The study was conducted as a part of the Basic Research Projects (Support for Leading Researchers), which is carried out by the Ministry of Science, ICT and Future Planning.
