• Eight ITMO Scientists Receive Presidential Grants

  …rection along the waveguide. Based on this effect, it’s possible to create optical diodes operating at the level of single photons and miniature quantum logical elements on a planar chip. The efficient functioning of such devices is possible through specific characteristics of a waveguide that can be reached in waveguide structures based on structured optical wave…

• ITMO Technopark in 2020: Tech Business, New Clubs, and International Cooperation

  …t received the Arctic Award from the Arctic Cooperation as the best entrepreneurial project, and Startup Connect won the Good Communication 2020 award. According to Svetlana Bazueva, head of ITMO’s International Programs and Projects Office, the focus of the Twin Campus project lies in the development of technology businesses of students and university staff i…

• What ITMO’s Latest Lab Equipment Expansion Means for Student Research

  …atomic physics, too, has expanded. It now includes the experiments that were once used as the proof of quantum theory. Nearly all of these experiments and their theoretical explanations had at one point or another netted their creators a Nobel Prize. Among the experiments that ITMO University students can now conduct are those that involve electron diffraction (th…

  …ere about the people. So far, they have been very kind; and with regard to the university, I have felt very happy and satisfied because from the beginning it helped me with explanations and all the paperwork I needed to arrive without problems to the city. I love that people here are very down-to-earth and friendly, you just need to break the ice to be able to establ…

• ITMO University Researchers Shed New Light on Plasmonic Nanolasers

  …urs in nanoparticles (in particular, colloidal silver solutions) under the effect of an exciting emission.  This model is speculative yet prevalent as it provides a good explanation of the process. In fact, it produces the same effect as conventional photonic lasers, only in miniature. “We found Noginov’s findings convincing and it encouraged us to work furth…

• Scientists Demonstrate New Opportunities for Controlling Light in Optical Graphene

  …at a wave’s structure is defined by four components) depends on the propagation direction differently if the system is excited in the vicinity of Gamma and K points. The explanation of the observed effects was given in terms of the field theory, and it was also shown that the discovered effect can be interpreted as a movement in a non-Abelian gauge field. This way…

• Scientists Propose Method of Assessing the Gene-Disease Connection

  …. If we don’t like how it came out, we start the process all over. Sooner or later, if we shake the bottle long enough, we’ll have something resembling a ship. Surely, this explanation may seem kind of funny, but it captures the essence of our method. You see, we do random operations, and if it turns out the way we like it, we save that and move on; if not, we forget…

• Results of ITMO University’s First Online Course on Climate and Journalism

  …aimed at promoting and explaining scientific concepts. “The students had to complete two homework assignments: make an infographic and an explainer – a popular science explanation of a topic,” says Olga Dobrovidova, “They also read a number of texts written for mass media. I think that such deliberate reading is a good way to form a clear, coherent picture of th…

  …oning of rods and cones. It’s easy to figure out that, indeed, you can’t see more than is allowed by the structure of the eye unless you use a looking glass.” The same explanation also provided a curious explanation for longsightedness at old age: at the old age, eyes weaken, and the cones of rays become narrower and intersect at a…
