• ITMO’s Rector Vladimir Vasilyev: Science Can’t Be Measured in Square Meters

  …stitute but many other organizations. A system, which would educate our younger colleagues by giving them an opportunity to take part in cutting edge research in the fields specified by the participants of the system.    It’s hard not to smile at the comments from the Institute’s employees which we read online these days. We believe it is more important to discus…

• International Team of Scientists Discover New Phenomenon in Topological Physics

  …ad a structure consisting of hexagonal cells, each containing three elements. Such systems are named kagome lattice after a traditional Japanese woven bamboo pattern. Under specific conditions, the electromagnetic waves can not only propagate along their edges but also focus the field strictly on the corners of the system, which is called topological corner states. …

  …n-formalized experience.  What are the consequences of the recent court ruling in China?  Tatyana Mynka: Essentially, this is a clear legal precedent, a decision of a specific court on a specific case. And a precedent is a source of law (meaning it can declare, change or abolish legal regulations) that sets an example for future a…

  …h stood in opposition to one another in various respects – in art and in sport,” said the exhibition’s curator Semyon Mikhailovsky.  “The artists themselves focused on very specific themes. These themes were singularly relevant ones, and demonstrated the people’s involvement in the process of social transformation.” One you’re had your fill of classic art, step ba…

• Physicists Trap Light in Nanoresonators for Record Time

  …e researchers had to use a special “doughnut” light beam. “A resonator of a certain shape, such as a cylinder in our case, responds well only to an incident field of a specific shape,” explains Kirill Koshelev. “Our resonators respond to a very specific field configuration. Visually, it’s like this: a conventional laser beam has th…

  … a separate track that would allow them to work with databases in the field of medicine and healthcare, as well as understand the structure of medical organizations and the specifics of generating content in this field (you can read about it in more detail here). An array of educational projects in this sphere is implemented by ITMO’s partner, the European Univers…

• ITMO University Researchers Create Complex Nanoparticles with Laser Impulses

  … to their qualities and components, these nanostructures can be used to produce active optical elements for nanophotonics. The particles can refract light, increase it over specific wavelengths and change its frequency. Thus, they are capable of almost any light-adjustment task.  “Nanostructures obtained from metal-organic frameworks are usually employed for cat…

• Travel the Trans-Siberian Railway Like a Russian

  … officers. The famous Russian writer Anton Chekhov wrote about a whale he saw in the harbor. Now, he’d probably be impressed by the Golden Bridge. Things to try here are the Pacific crab and chocolate with seaweed.  While the book is in Russian, it’s fun to explore even with basic Google translate. The illustrations are beautiful, and the sense of adventure is rea…

• Our New Year’s Resolutions for 2020

  …y resolution for the new year would be to screw all resolutions and just wing it, because I’ve had enough of all this motivational shizzle at this point in time. I have one specific thing I’d like to persevere with, though, which is to become more eco-friendly because the planet is literally on fire and I kind of like this Earth of ours (though I’d happily live on Be…
