• 49 ITMO Projects Supported by Russian Science Foundation in 2025

  Recently, the Russian Science Foundation (RSF) has published its 2025 report, which placed ITMO sixth in Russia and second in St. Petersburg by the amount of grants received for fundamental and applied research. Moreover, one of the projects developed at ITMO made it to the list of top 10 RSF-supported projects of 2025.

• How To Become a PhD Intern and Get Into ITMO

  Applicants who have already settled on a supervisor and a thesis topic have higher chances of being admitted into a PhD program on a tuition-free basis. But how can a Master’s student get experience in research and meet these requirements? One way is by becoming a PhD intern at ITMO. Before their enrollment, interns get to work on different projects by the university’s partners or the Ministry of Science and Higher Education and thus not only start their academic career but also secure additional points when applying to a PhD program. Want to know how to do that? Here’s your step-by-step guide, plus firsthand insights from one of the initiative’s participants.

• New ITMO-Developed Method for Silver Nanostructure Synthesis to Accelerate Drug Development

  Researchers at ITMO University have developed a new way to produce nanostructures sensitive to light polarization. Polarization is a process in which waves (such as light) oscillate in a set direction. By employing a laser, the scientists sensitized the atoms of silver films to a polarization of their choice. The developed structures may pave the way for next-gen medications; they will be able to identify “therapeutic” molecules based on their interaction with polarized light. It can also be used to produce photodetectors. The results of the Russian Science Foundation-supported study were published in ACS Nano.

• ITMO Physicists Propose Ultra-Fast Acceleration Method for Twisted Particles

  Researchers from ITMO University are the first to demonstrate that twisted electrons – particles that not only orbit but also create a sort of quantum vortex in accelerators – can reach immense speeds without losing their quantum properties. These particles proved to be more efficient in high-quality electron and ion microscopy and can be used to study the properties of nuclear forces and the previously inaccessible quantum effects in accelerators. Earlier, no model could accurately describe the acceleration of twisted particles and the conditions for maintaining their twisted state. The findings of the Russian Science Foundation-supported study are published in Physical Review Letters.
