Founded in 2005 with a mission to advance convergence-centered nanotechnology, the SKKU Advanced Institute of Nanotechnology (SAINT) has grown into a leading hub for discovery and translation across two-dimensional materials, flexible and neuromorphic electronics, catalysis, sustainable energy, and bioinspired systems. To mark SAINT's 20th anniversary, this Nano Focus highlights representative advances by SAINT-affiliated researchers published in ACS Nano and outlines strategic directions in biomaterials, semiconductors, carbon-neutral technologies, and quantum science. The selected vignettes emphasize mechanistic insight, device-level figures of merit, and platforms poised for scale. Looking ahead, SAINT will deepen interdisciplinary collaborations and talent cultivation to accelerate nanoscience solutions for energy, health, information processing, and sustainability.
