• Russian Science Day: ITMO’s Young Researchers Share Their Visions of the Future

  Since 1999, February 8 has been celebrated as the Day of Russian Science. Every year, thousands of scientists, postgrads, and even young budding researchers contribute to its development. On this occasion, we’ve spoken to a few such rising stars – yesterday, they were still in high school, but today they’re ITMO students and scholars of physics, chemistry, and IT. In this story, they talk about their academic paths, first successes, dreams, and the future that they’re shaping today.

• ITMO Scientists Step Closer to Explaining How Pulsar Nebulas Form

  Researchers from ITMO University investigated how twisted electrons absorb photons in a strong magnetic field. This often occurs in pulsar nebulas that accompany neutron stars and consist of electrons and positrons. Given that the phenomena cannot be studied empirically, theoretical estimations remain one of the key approaches for illustrating what is happening with space objects at the particle level. The findings were published in The European Physical Journal C.

• ITMO Researchers Develop Gold Nanoparticle-Based Sensors for Precise Detection of Natural Antioxidants

  Scientists at ITMO University have developed multiple-use sensor substrates coated with gold nanoparticles for use in gauging the precise ratio of chlorogenic acid in natural and manufactured raw material. This natural antioxidant is widely used in the production of medical, cosmetic, and food products. The new technology should make it possible to assess the presence of chlorogenic acid in lab and field conditions alike. The results of the study were published in the Q1 publication International Journal of Molecular Sciences.

• ITMO Researchers Discover New Acoustic Force for More Accurate Shape-Based Sorting of Cells

  Scientists at ITMO University have found a new lateral recoil force that affects non-spherical particles in an acoustic field. The new force will make it easier to extract cells of a certain shape from blood or other liquids – such as elongated platelets or spherical leukocytes – which will be useful for developing new, more accurate, and affordable methods for diagnosing various diseases. The findings were reported in Physical Review Applied and highlighted in Physics Magazine.
