• Student Spotlight: Abdullah Sharabati, Saudi Arabia

  … I wanted to go for medicine, but, again, opportunities in Saudi Arabia were very few. Slowly, I ended up liking this subject because through it, I could help human beings and solve their problems. That motivated me to keep studying biotechnology. When I came across the PhD program in food biotechnology at ITMO, I got really interested in it. Since I am an athletic p…

• ITMO Physicists Suggest Method for Mass Production of Metal-Organic Frameworks for Gas Sensors

  …eral nanometers in height and under 1 micrometer long. These parameters won’t work for optical devices such as sensors. They require thin and long layers, which is a new and unsolved task,” says Anastasiia Efimova, an engineer at the Faculty of Physics.  In order to obtain such layers of 2D MOFs, the researchers use exfoliation – the process can be compared …

• ITMO’s Monday Science Roundup #39

  …more: ITMO Researchers Propose New Production Method for Biosensor Nanoparticles Teaming up with Nobel Prize laureate Frank Wilczek, researchers at ITMO have come closer to solving the mystery of dark matter. Their recent study focuses on axions – dark matter “candidates” – and more specifically on a metamaterial that may help prove the existence of such particles…

• ITMO Scientists Present A Way to Control Light-Matter Coupling in Next-Gen Optical Devices

  …lectronics.  However, controlling and studying such particles is not an easy task because they are trapped inside a waveguide and thus do not emit light into free space. To solve this problem, physicists are developing durable photonic structures – metasurfaces that can transfer light out of the waveguide. Typically, such metasurfaces are complex and expensive to …

• It’s More Than a University, It’s a Family: ITMO Students Share Impressions from Bike Ride With the Rector

  …journalist in the Middle East as well. He was friends with most world leaders. For example, he was a close friend of Mikhail Gorbachev. I realized that I liked programming and solving problems, so I decided to change my career.  I came to Russia because it’s a partner of Egypt. Also, Russia is among the first in the world in the field of information technology. Mo…

• A Material Simulating Dark Matter Particles Described

  …Dark matter is one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in physics, with even its structure unknown to scientists to this day. One hypothesis is that dark matter is made up of axions, hypothetical particles predicted by Frank Wilczek, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist, in the 1970s. Axions exhibit a weak interaction with ordinary matter and can convert to photons in a st…

• Russian Team Claims Four Gold Medals at the International Olympiad in Informatics 2023

  …selection and won the national olympiad for school students before joining the IOI 2023. The contestants in the competition had five hours in each round – two in total – to solve and code three algorithmic problems. For example, one task had to do with writing a program to identify access cards to the safes of the Hungarian State Treasury. Another was about buildi…

• Student Spotlight: Peter Simwanza, Zambia

  …he garage.  Another reason was the poor quality of energy generation in Zambia. Power cuts are so frequent in my country. Sitting in complete darkness, one day I thought of solving this issue in Zambia once and for ever. That ignited within me the urge to study well and learn all the skills necessary to realize my dream. Why did you select Russia as the des…

• How To Get Back to the Grind After Vacation: Advice From a Psychologist

  …rtainty, we are prone, largely unconsciously, to say phrases, like “I don’t understand”, “It’s not serious”, or “Let someone else do it.” We use these negative statements to absolve ourselves of responsibility for not doing something we don’t want to. When you struggle with a certain task, ask yourself: “Why do I feel this way?”, “Why don’t I want to do that?”, and “…
