Understeer and oversteer are important issues that occur when a car corners, and they have a significant impact on a vehicle’s driving performance and safety. They manifest themselves differently in front- and rear-wheel drive vehicles, and to prevent them, it’s important for manufacturers to improve vehicle design and electronics, and for drivers to develop proper driving habits...

The awake surgeon is a method in which the patient is awake and conscious, which has the advantage of minimizing neurological damage. However, the emotional anxiety that patients feel during surgery and the commitment they need to make beforehand means that it’s not for everyone.   A South Korean drama once aired a scene in which a patient underwent brain surgery while still conscious...

Food and nutrition majors don’t just go on to become dietitians or chefs; they also open doors to careers in government agencies, research centers, broadcasting organizations, and more through the interdisciplinary exploration and application of food and nutrition.   Most people who don’t know much about any major have prejudices. They think that everyone who graduates from a...

The scope of research in energy and resource engineering is very broad, and applied geochemistry labs are exploring the use of plants to explore for rare earth metals. This method plays an important role in increasing the efficiency of resource exploitation while minimizing environmental degradation.   Energy and Resources Engineering is the study of the entire process of exploration...

Draws an analogy between military strategies for detecting spies and cancer treatment, and explores the potential for nanotechnology to overcome the side effects of conventional chemotherapy by precisely targeting cancer cells. It looks forward to the revolutionary changes that advances in nanotechnology will bring to cancer treatment and emphasizes the need for research to make it happen.  ...

Stent technology for the treatment of heart disease continues to advance in the effective management of coronary artery disease, but there are still challenges that need to be addressed. It is important to develop technologies that are bio-stable and biocompatible, and advances in these areas will play an important role in shaping the future of heart disease treatment.   To keep the heart...

This article discusses the impact of smart technologies on society and the opposing arguments of technological determinism and social constructionism, explains the circular relationship between technology and society, and emphasizes the need for engineering students to consider social responsibility and the impact of future technologies.   We live in a world that benefits from many...

This article focuses on Richard Dawkins’ evolutionary theory and the concept of “memes” to argue that not only humans but also highly social animals are capable of pure altruism. By analyzing the behavior of a wide variety of creatures, it presents the idea that altruism is not a uniquely human trait.   The theory of evolution gained prominence during the time of Charles Robert Darwin...

Social networking services (SNSs) have become an important means of communication in the modern world, but they have also created side effects, such as privacy concerns. We explore the impact of the rapid development of SNSs on society, and the positive and negative aspects that have resulted.   May 18, 2012, was a day in global IT history. It was the day Facebook debuted on the NASDAQ as...

Why is oil depletion always predicted to be 50 years away? Oil’s reserves-to-production ratio (R/P), technological advances, and new resource discoveries are the main factors that keep extending this prediction. It’s impossible to predict exactly when oil will run out, and the R/P metric is an imperfect way to estimate when it will run out.   When will we run out of oil? Many...
