'구글 35억 연봉 거절' 노벨상이 직접 부른 한국인 과학자의 정체

An annual salary of 3.5 billion won. This was the offer Google, the world's leading company, extended to a Korean scientist. It was an extraordinary offer promising to fulfill everything: the salary, the environment, and even the necessary personnel. However, this scientist rejected it without a single moment's hesitation. And he did so by saying he would stay in a small laboratory in Pohang, rather than in the glamorous Silicon Valley. People called him "the fool who kicked away 3.5 billion won." But now, a few years later, the Nobel Prize has called him directly. What he created was a single "monstrous lens" thinner than a human hair. This man who produced a 5 million won lens for a mere 5,000 won. What on earth did he see that made him reject 3.5 billion won? #MetaLens #NoJunSeok #NobelPrizeCandidate #Metamaterial #POSTECH #CameraBump #SamsungElectronics #3DDisplay #KoreanScientist #RejectedGoogleSalary #Nanotechnology #InvisibilityCloak #NaturePaper #ScienceStory #POSTECH List of Reference Sources Money Today Unicorn Factory, “A Nobel Science Prize Finally from Korea?…Opened the ‘3D Era’ with MetaLens” (unicornfactory.co.kr) Maeil Business Newspaper, “Scientist Who Flatly Rejected Google’s ‘3.5 Billion Won Salary’ Offer…Turns Out There Is This Story” (mk.co.kr) Dong-A Science, “‘MetaLens’ Display Freely Switching Between 2D and 3D… ‘Nobel Prize Candidate Field’” (dongascience.com) Dong-A Science, “‘Let’s Make a Harry Potter Invisibility Cloak’… Metasurface, First Author for 2 Consecutive Papers in Nature” (dongascience.com) Chosun Ilbo, “Researcher named in 'Nature' for 2 consecutive weeks” (chosun.com) Yonhap News, “‘Meta-Lens’ commercialization challenge solved… Roll-to-roll mass production technology developed” (yna.co.kr) ZDNet Korea, “POSTECH-Samsung Electronics unveil Metalens capable of 2D↔3D conversion using only a smartphone” (zdnet.co.kr) HelloDD, “POSTECH Professor Joon-Suk Noh’s team succeeds in mass-producing 1cm diameter Metalens” (hellodd.com) POSTECH Official Research Achievements Data, “Professor Joon-Suk Noh’s team, will the dream ‘Meta-Lens’ become a reality at 1/1000th of the price?” (postech.ac.kr) Sungkyunkwan University Research Achievements, “Sungkyunkwan University joint research team secures ultra-high-speed Metalens mass production technology” (skku.edu) Samsung Electronics Newsroom, “Samsung Electronics∙POSTECH solve Metalens commercialization challenge… Published in ‘Nature’” (news.samsung.com) Wikipedia, “No Jun-seok”人物情報 (ko.wikipedia.org) Newsian, “[Scientist Challenging for the Nobel Prize] Professor No Jun-seok ‘Good Research, Convergent Thinking and…’” (newsian.co.kr)
