Almost everyone has blown a soap bubble through a straw at least once. Inspired by this thin soap bubble film, an artificial lung that breathes like a real lung has been developed. A research team led by Professor Sungjune Jung of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at POSTECH (Pohang University of Science and Technology) has developed an ultrathin artificial lung that reproduces the movement of the alveoli, the air sacs inside the lungs, while making it possible to observe the r
