• ITMO Researchers' New Composite Material Offers 10,000x Amplification of Raman Spectroscopy Signal

  A composite material based on polymer miscospheres covered in gold nanoparticles has been developed at ITMO University. It amplifies Raman spectroscopy signals by over 10,000 times and can be used to control the quality of engine oils and pharmaceuticals, as well as to detect hazardous contaminants during environmental monitoring. The results of the Russian Science Foundation-supported study were described in Journal of Materials Chemistry C.

• Classification From ITMO To Help AI Generate Random Noise on Request

  Random noise is useful for generating truly random numbers, such as for stronger passwords and data protection, but it’s also what helps reconstruct full-scale images obtained from small cameras placed within the body during medical screenings. Using machine learning and fractal analysis methods, researchers from ITMO University have studied a source of random noise – the textures inside a layer of liquid crystal – and created a classification based on the analysis of large- and small-scale fractal dimensions. Using this data, it's possible to train a neural network to select the parameters for random noise generation, adjusting it for various purposes. The results of the study have been published in Journal of Molecular Liquids.

• ITMO Scientists Achieve Record-Breaking Efficiency of Terahertz Radiation in Liquids

  Physicists from ITMO University have improved the method of converting optical radiation into terahertz radiation using a liquid, which until recently was thought of as unpromising. Nevertheless, the achieved efficiency of the conversion in such a medium is a record-breaking 0.1%. It’s a proven fact that terahertz radiation, unlike X-radiation, is harmless and can be used in medicine, security systems, ecological monitoring, analysis of art objects, and in the food industry. A research paper on the subject was published in the Communications Physics journal. This research is supported by a grant from the Russian Science Foundation (RSF).

• Scientists Create New IR-Activated Coating for Local Drug Delivery

  The coating is based on active substances, in particular, bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2), loaded into the titania layer and modified by polypyrrole. If this coating is fabricated on the implant surface, it is possible to accelerate the injury recovery and to control this process using infrared radiation (IR).
