Global food service and restaurant franchise operator, Theborn Korea, has partnered with Italian oven manufacturer UNOX to program its standardized recipes into commercial equipment, paving the way for an automated K-food rollout across Europe. Theborn Korea said Wednesday it signed a memorandum of understanding with UNOX on Nov. 4 at the Italian company's headquarters, combining its expertise in Korean cuisine and TBK sauces with UNOX's commercial cooking technology.

The goal is to allow local restaurant workers with little experience preparing Korean food to produce dishes with consistent taste and quality using UNOX smart ovens. Founded in 1990, UNOX specializes in commercial smart ovens and recorded global revenue of 360 million euros (540.6 billion won) last year, according to Theborn Korea. Its product lineup includes convection ovens, which use circulating hot air for even cooking, and combination

Korea is pushing ahead with plans for a new generation of aircraft that can take off and land without runways, following a record-setting seven-day flight by its solar-powered unmanned aircraft in the stratosphere. The Korea AeroSpace Administration (KASA) announced Wednesday that it will pursue development of hybrid vertical takeoff and landing aircraft after its EAV-4 unmanned aerial vehicle completed 170 hours and 5 minutes of continuous flight from Aug. 18 to 25. The achievement more than tripled Korea's previous domestic endurance record of 53 hours, set by the EAV-3 in 2020, and ranked second globally behind Airbus' Zephyr, according to the agency. During the flight test, the EAV-4 also demonstrated wildfire surveillance capabilities, using electro-optical and infrared cameras to identify ignition points within seconds and track and predict the direction of smoke and the movement of embers. Flying at an altitude of about 20 kilometers, solar-powered stratospheric aircraft can remain airborne for extended periods, potentially serving as persistent surveillance platforms and emergenc
