The Role of Political Ideology in Shaping South Korea's Foreign Policy and Its Implications

open access: yesAsian Politics &Policy, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT South Korea's foreign policy toward its neighbors frequently shifts when there is a leadership change from one ideological group to another. For instance, when power shifts from progressives to conservatives, South Korea's relations with the United States and Japan tend to improve while its ties with China and North Korea deteriorates.

Feline‐Inspired Robot Enabled by Combustion‐Driven Actuators for Agile Motion and High‐Payload Obstacle Traversal

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 18, 27 March 2026.
Inspired by nature's competitive maneuvers, this study introduces a combustion‐driven soft actuator that powers a multi‐modal “Jump‐and‐Fly Catbot” (JFC). With millisecond response, high‐force output (over 70 times its weight) and precise control (error within 5%), the robot can jump, fly, hover, and escape from challenging environments, achieving ...

Real‐Time and Rapid Dynamic Missile Identification Utilizing a TiOx Memristor Array

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
Real‐time missile target identification is demonstrated using an artificial intelligence model based on step‐weighted long–short‐term memory networks and a TiOx memristor array. The approach classifies five projectile types with enhanced early‐stage prediction through data augmentation and custom training strategies. Achieving 94.4% accuracy, the model
