Tiny Orchestra: New AI Model Uses Water Vapor to Make Music
In collaboration with researchers from Tyumen State University, scientists at ITMO have created an algorithm that can decipher the behavior patterns of droplets inside a cloud dispersed over water. Research into these processes opens opportunities to create computers that can program living systems, such as bacteria clusters, or solve complex tasks unavailable to conventional computers. What’s more, the suggested neural network can transform the data into music, making it possible to “hear” the particles interacting. The resulting publication describes the first observation of particle reactions inside a levitating droplet cluster.

No More Counterfeiting – Thanks to Photon Crystals from ITMO
Scientists from ITMO University have suggested a novel production method for anti-forgery protection tags that is cheaper and quicker than its analogs. The new method uses magnet-sensitive photon crystals for ink jet printing. The resulting tags are liquid systems with magnetic particles inside a solid shell; in response to a magnet, the particles assemble into a specific colored pattern. According to its authors, the new method will be more reliable than its counterparts. The study is described in a paper published in Advanced Optical Materials.
