• ITMO To Receive 180 Million Rubles for High-Tech Optical Equipment

  ITMO University was selected by the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education to receive a subsidy of 180 million rubles to encourage domestic engineering production. The funding will be used to build a spectrophotometer – a device that measures the amount of light absorbed by a liquid sample to identify its composition and proportions. The technology will make it possible to determine substances present in a single drop of solution, verify the quality of medications, and analyze biological samples. The university will receive the allocated funding in 2026-2028.

• World’s First Perovskite Laser Diode Created by Russian Scientists

  Researchers from ITMO University, Skoltech, and HSE University have developed the first electrically powered perovskite laser that requires no additional external lighting from another laser or a powerful lamp; instead, it can be directly connected to a power source like a regular LED. Since perovskite crystals can be easily grown from solutions, the technology is more cost-efficient than existing alternatives – and can potentially be used in optical chips, sensors, and quantum devices. The findings of the corresponding study were published in Nature.

• Compact Silicon Chip by ITMO and PKU Revolutionizes Optical Memory

  Scientists from ITMO University and Peking University (PKU) have developed a compact, energy-efficient memory component that acts as a microscopic light “trap” in a silicon photonic structure. Compared to alternatives, the device requires power of around 200 μW and can switch between multiple optical states, which is essential for high-speed optical data processing. In the long run, the technology can pave the way for ultra-fast, energy-efficient optical memory and optical AI processors. The results of the relevant study are published in Nature Nanotechnology.

• ITMO Fellowship Stories: Katerina Kukushkina on Research Career and Her Experience at ITMO

  Katerina Kukushkina decided to go into science as a child to follow in the footsteps of her grandfather, an aerospace engineer and DSc in engineering, but eventually ended up pursuing a completely different field – chemistry. Over the span of ten years, Katerina studied in Russia, Italy, and France and worked at BIOCAD (a major biotech company in Russia) and several research centers in Spain. However, it was at ITMO that she found all the necessary equipment and specialists for her own project on hybrid nanoparticles for cancer treatment. In this interview, Katerina Kukushkina speaks about the project’s prospects, her work at ITMO, and a career in research.
