Seoul National University is the best institution in South Korea. It ranked at the 31st position in the QS World University Rankings 2025.

A South Korean university is testing a sedan that can pick up and transport passengers without a human driver, giving a glimpse into the future of autonomous public transport.

North Korea's surprise pledge to probe Cold War kidnappings of Japanese nationals is an attempt to divide its foes that could benefit its nuclear and missile programmes if Tokyo eases sanctions in return, analysts say.

Defectors and activists welcomed Tuesday a UN-mandated inquiry's searing indictment of gross human rights abuses in North Korea, but analysts questioned the international community's ability to act on its recommendations.

North Korea has resumed construction work on a missile launch site on its northeast coast after a months-long hiatus.

Satellite imagery has revealed new tunnelling work at North Korea's nuclear test site, but nothing that points to an imminent detonation, a US research institute said today.

After more than 15 years of failures by scientists around the world and one outright fraud, biologists have finally created human stem cells by the same technique that produced Dolly the cloned sheep in 1996: They transplanted genetic material from an adult cell into an egg whose own DNA had been removed.

North Korea sentenced U.S. citizen Kenneth Bae to 15 years hard labour on Thursday for what it said were crimes against the state, a move that will likely see him used as a bargaining chip in talks with Washington.
