• ITMO Researchers Learn to Quick Control Metasurfaces With Light

  A team of researchers from ITMO University, Polytechnic University of Milan (Italy), and the University of Brescia (Italy) have developed a new approach to control the properties of metasurfaces using laser radiation. The method allows scientists to switch optical states within a picosecond, which means that they can now transmit more data in less time and build a photonic computer and more accurate medical sensors. The results of the study are published in Light: Science & Applications.

• ITMO Researchers Solve Key Issue for Compact Particle Accelerators

  Physicists at ITMO University have become the first to explain the nature of the skewed wake effect in particle accelerators. Their analytical theory shows how a tilt of a flat particle beam causes a reverse rotation of its electromagnetic field. The effect leads to unstable behavior of particles in next-gen compact accelerators and large colliders. The discovery could help predict the behavior of asymmetrical beams and make associated experiments safer and more efficient. The study was published in Physical Review Accelerators and Beams.

• ITMO’s New AI Model Analyzes Papers 90 Times Faster

  Researchers from ITMO University and Lomonosov Moscow State University have rolled out NanoMINER – a multi-agent system that automatically extracts and processes data from scientific papers on nanomaterials and nanozymes. The algorithm analyzes each text in one minute, whereas doing it manually takes an average of 90 minutes. NanoMINER shows an impressive accuracy rate of up to 98% and can accelerate research in materials science, bionanotechnologies, and other fields. The results of the study are published in npj Computational Materials.

• New Type of Axion Response Predicted by ITMO Scientists

  Physicists at ITMO University have found a new type of an electromagnetic response in a medium. The newly discovered phenomenon has been dubbed a dual axion response and is different from the usual axion response, which has been a common research subject in photonics and condensed matter physics lately. The discovery casts a fresh perspective on previous experimental data and lays the foundation for a new field of study. The research is supported by the Russian Science Foundation and published in Nature Communications.

• ITMO Researchers Create Next-Gen Light-Emitting Components for Displays

  Researchers from ITMO University and the Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) in South Korea have merged a metasurface and a 2D semiconductor to produce a next-gen light-emitting element that is 1,600 times brighter than a semiconductor surface and even more durable and thinner than same-brightness analogs. The new material will pave the way for ultra-thin screens and other optical devices. The resulting paper was published in Light: Science & Applications.
