• Beyond St. Petersburg: A Hidden Gem of Gatchina

  …ter of the city. Another common mistake is to get back when the museum is already closed – there’s much to see at the city’s main attractions, that the Priory Palace often remains a place you’ve passed, really wanted to stop by, but never didn’t. What’s more, the museum is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays (as of 2023), and sometimes hosts various events that you may ha…

• Over 30 Courses Launch on ITMO/Online

  … and Stepan Kukharsky, an architect and partner at SA lab, computational designer, and lecturer of international educational programs in the field of algorithmic design. Inside Art & Science When: any time Contents: the course covers various branches of science art (such as robotic and algorithmic art, bioart, and VR/AR) and includes a list of useful so…

• Power Without Electricity: Nanodevice For Optical Computers Developed at ITMO

  …d computers. However, the fundamental limits to their productivity have nearly been reached. Now, their performance can be improved by basing them on photons (light particles) instead of electrons. As a means of information transfer, photons are ideal: light can travel over tens and even hundreds of kilometers without fading or distortion. And this is exactly why opt…

• Student Spotlight: Abdullah Sharabati, Saudi Arabia

  …true observation up to some extent. Have you taken a liking towards Russian food? Surprisingly, even after living in Russia for almost 2 years, I don’t remember a single instance when I tried Russian food. I usually cook my own meals. And when I can’t, I eat out. Mostly, I eat burgers and pizzas. Nowadays, I am eating out a lot because I haven’t properly settle…

• This Week in St. Petersburg: September 21-27, 2023

  …y developed multimedia program will focus on the heritage passed through generations. Apart from the traditional video mapping, this time the show will feature real-life light installations. On Sunday, visitors will also have the chance to send postcards with special festival designs for free right from the site. If you decide to go, we recommend, first of all, check…

• ITMO Physicists Suggest Method for Mass Production of Metal-Organic Frameworks for Gas Sensors

  … By changing the ions and ligands that make up an MOF, it is possible to produce structures fit for various applications, such as gas catalysis, adsorption, and storage. For instance, a promising application of MOFs is as gas sensors; these devices are used in production and at labs to detect leakages of harmful gasses.  MOFs can be manufactured to have a high o…

• 5 Moscow Spots in St. Petersburg

  …Moscow Railway Station (St. Petersburg) ⇔ Leningrad Railway Station (Moscow) Let’s start with the most striking resemblance – these twins living in different cities: the same central clock tower, the same arched first floor windows, the same columns. There’s no mystery as to why these buildings are so alike: they were designed by one architect, Konstantin Thon, as…

• Researchers Develop New Selective Anti-Cancer Compounds

  …the best chances of keeping the disease at bay for longer periods of time. However, it comes with its side effects: the drugs used in chemotherapy have a body-wide effect (for instance, targeting all cells that have reached a certain stage of development), which means they damage both malignant and healthy cells alike. This leads to weight and hair loss, as well as d…

• ITMO’s Monday Science Roundup #39

  …Research In developing a new generation of optical computers, one aspect remains crucial: the ability to bind light and matter in an efficient manner. A new study by researchers at ITMO’s School of Physics might just offer a solution. Last week, our portal took a deep dive into this ambitious proposal – visit the full article for a detailed breakdown of the scienc…

• ITMO Scientists Present A Way to Control Light-Matter Coupling in Next-Gen Optical Devices

  … to transfer information, however this technology is not perfect: electronic devices waste a lot of energy as heat; moreover, their performance speed is limited. Using photons instead of electrons to encode information is a way to overcome these limitations. Photonic devices do not heat as much, consume less energy, and work faster – while maintaining the same data t…
