"Producing Gasoline Without Oil"... Demonstration of 50 kg Daily Production from Carbon Dioxide [Reading Science]
A domestic research team has advanced the technology to directly convert carbon dioxide (CO₂) into liquid fuels such as gasoline and naphtha, elevating it to the demonstration stage. Unlike conventional methods that use carbon monoxide (CO) as an intermediate, this approach enables a one-step conversion, simultaneously reducing both energy consumption and process complexity. On April 28, a research team led by Dr. Kim Jeongrang at the Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology, in collaboration with GS Engineering & Construction and Hanwha TotalEnergies Co., Ltd., announced that they have developed catalyst and process technology that directly reacts hydrogen (H₂) with carbon dioxide to produce liquid hydrocarbons, and succeeded in pilot production at a scale of 50 kg per day. This research was carried out with support from the Ministry of Science and ICT's "Carbon Resource Platform Compounds Research Group" project. Previously, the team had transferred 5 kg per day technology to
'OLED Pioneer' South Korea Achieves Market Share Rebound After 10 Years
It has been found that South Korea's market share in the organic light-emitting diode (OLED) sector, which had been declining annually due to aggressive competition from China, has rebounded for the first time in ten years. The Korea Display Industry Association announced on the 28th, citing an analysis of data from the market research firm OMDIA, that South Korea's OLED market share reached 68.7% last year, up 1.5 percentage points from 67.2% the previous year. This marks the first reversal in the downward trend that had persisted for about nine years since China entered the market in 2015. This increase in market share is attributed to diversification in the high-end market. Korean companies significantly expanded production of low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) OLEDs, a low-power technology, thereby dominating the premium smartphone market. In fact, Korea's share of OLED panel supply for Apple smartphones rose from 80.7% in 2024 to 85.9% in 2025, while China's share fell f

The collaborative products combine lightweight construction and functionality, making them suitable for both urban and trail running. The signature running
Samsung Electronics Introduces AI-Based Graphics Innovation ENSS in Exynos 2600 for the First Time
Samsung Electronics has commercialized its proprietary artificial intelligence (AI)-powered graphics optimization technology for the first time in its mobile application processor (AP), the Exynos 2600. This AI-based graphics optimization approach enhances power efficiency while maintaining higher graphics processing unit (GPU) performance. According to Samsung Electronics on April 28, the Exynos 2600 is the first to feature ENSS (Exynos Neural Super Sampling), an AI graphics optimization software. ENSS consists of NSS (Neural Super Sampling), which uses AI to reconstruct low-resolution images into high-quality visuals, and NFG (Neural Frame Generation), which predicts and generates frames. Through this technology, Samsung Electronics has reduced the computational load on the GPU, improved power efficiency, and achieved clear, uninterrupted visuals even during rapid camera switching and in complex scenes. These improvements are also reflected in actual performance metrics. According t
"AI Investment by U.S. Companies to Reach $1.75 Trillion by 2035, a Sevenfold Increase" - Oxford Economics
The total artificial intelligence (AI) investment spending by all U.S. companies was approximately $230 billion in 2025, and it is projected to reach $1.75 trillion by 2035, ten years later. The proportion of AI-related investment in overall technology spending by U.S. companies is also expected to increase from about 7% to 22% over the same period. As AI adoption spreads and per-company spending increases, the share of AI in corporate technology budgets is expected to reach 25% to 35% across most industries by the mid-2030s. By industry, professional services and IT & programming, which are early adopters of AI, are projected to increase their share from about 10% in 2025 to around 45% in 2035. Construction, on the other hand, is expected to rise from a relatively low 3% to 17% over the same period. The UK think tank Oxford Economics stated this in a report titled "AI is reshaping the composition of enterprise tech spending," released on the 27th (local time). The following is a summ
Reducing Carbon and Increasing Recycled Materials... LG TV Earns Three Consecutive ESG Certifications
LG Electronics’ 2026 TV lineup has consecutively obtained three ESG-related certifications?including carbon reduction, plastic reduction, and use of recycled materials?from leading domestic and international certification bodies.
