Art Contest
The Center for Quantum Nanoscience (QNS) is holding an art contest called ‘Coherence’ to share the excitement of basic science with the art community and the general public. Coherence and quantum mechanics are the main subjects of QNS’s research. QNS hopes that this contest can create a bridge between its researchers and the people who…
The Place to Become Friends with Quantum, the IBS Center for Quantum Nanoscience
You might not have ever felt the vibration caused by cars passing in and out of a parking lot next to a building. Most people don’t even feel the vibration that occurs when flushing the toilet. However, some laboratories cannot tolerate even these minor vibrations that humans cannot feel. “The bottom side that we see…
Scientists who change the ‘feelings’ of quantum
You might not have ever felt the vibration caused by cars passing in and out of a parking lot next to a building. Most people don’t even feel the vibration that occurs when flushing the toilet. However, some laboratories cannot tolerate even these minor vibrations that humans cannot feel. Sunny Kim, the Outreach Manager at…
QNS Exploring the Nano World
100,000 times smaller than the thickness of a human hair – Tae-in Yoon (Reporter, Kids Science Donga) What if one meter is reduced by one tenth nine times? One billionth of a meter is called 1 nm (nanometer). It’s a small world, about 1/100,000 the thickness of a human hair. The Kids Science Donga’s junior…

Finding “Spin” in René Magritte’s Work
The topic of this “Spin Art” art contest is the spin in quantum mechanics. Quantum mechanics is an academic study that deals with a world that is even smaller than the atoms. Atoms and molecules make up all matter on earth. Sometimes, surreal things happen in such a small world. Among those, there is the…
