| With the launch of the Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) project in 1995, Korea has become deeply involved in fusion research. NFRC (National Fusion Research Institute) is the center for those efforts. In cooperation with other nations, Korea is participating in the development of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor demonstrate scientifically fusion using deuterium-tritium plasma). NFRC has developed the KSTAR, at present in the process of manufacturing and assembly of its facilities. The KSTAR device went online in June, 2008, and has produced plasma. |

The National Institute for Mathematical Science (NIMS) undertakes research in three fields: foundational mathematics, interdisciplinary mathematics and industrial mathematics. The division of foundational mathematics develops pure mathematics and promotes the study of mathematics and publication of mathematical science.
The division of interdisciplinary mathematics focuses on mathematics in that it is combined with other disciplines such as physics, life sciences or economics, and promotes cooperation between academic institutions. The division of industrial mathematics concentrates on the industrial application of mathematics in fields like IT and communications and finance, and codes.
|
To advance these objectives NIMS supports “Post-doctorial Researchers” and runs an apprentice system under the direction of a prominent scholars.

The National Nanofab Center was opened in 2005 as one of the five largest nanofabrication centers in the world with multiple international partners. Originally developed as part of Korea’s “ Nanotechnology Development Plan” (July 2001), NNFC works on the integration and fusion of Si-CMOS, NEMS and Biochip technologies. The present facilities can be used for basic idea verification, building of prototypes and engineering samples. Reverse engineering and fabrication/characterization technologies highly advanced. NNFC is deeply involved with Korean industry on advanced nanofabrication.
