Samsung announced earlier today that it would spend more than $34 million on 31 research projects. These projects are spread across basic sciences, communications, IT, and material sciences. The South Korean tech giant confirmed the projects that it has finalized for the second half of 2020.
The research projects chosen by Samsung include the ones that work on cell therapy, human taste receptors, and walking robots.
