• Nanolasers, MRI, and Cultural Heritage: ITMO University Wins Three Megagrants

  …sian side by Irina Melchakova, the head of the International Laboratory "Applied Radioengineering". The project is a continuation of previous research on the improvement of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with the use of devices based on cutting-edge materials. ITMO University has been engaged in this field for several years. The creators want to make this category …

• Scientists Demonstrate New Opportunities for Controlling Light in Optical Graphene

  … graphene is described by the laws of quantum mechanics. This area of physics does not perceive the electron as a particle that moves around the atom’s nucleus, much like a planet moves around the sun, but as a wave of matter. Therefore, we can logically assume that there are similar materials in which other waves propagate in an unusual way. This is how scientists c…

• Student Spotlight: Omar Ceesay, Gambia

  …my computer. I want to build things, useful software and applications from anywhere in the world, only with the help of my computer, which is why I decided to study mobile and network technologies – a branch of applied computer science. What was the process of getting the scholarship like? I did the WAEC (West African Examinations Council) and got a good grade,…

• Best Projects by Participants of Online School by ITMO Avatar Developers

  …ult, two teams won first place. The first one did a project on recommending products based on the analysis of social media photos. “We took photos from VK or other social networks and used them to tell which products from online stores we could recommend to these users,” says Alexandr Zamiralov, a member of the winning team and student of ITMO’s Big Data and Mac…

• Soft Skills: What Are They and Why Do We Need Them?

  …a soft skill, too. What if I just wasn’t born to be sociable and charismatic? That is exactly the issue that soft skills are supposed to resolve. There is no genetic predisposition towards being a better or worse talker. A lot of it is influenced by the environment in which we grow up and the way we’re raised. Developing your soft skills will help exp…

• To Fear or Not to Fear: Psychologist Alexander Palin on the Nature of Phobias

  …ecomes even more sensitive to triggers. This affects another organ, the hippocampus, which is responsible for our memory. If our memory focuses only on stress and fear, neural networks do not develop and begin to fade. Thus, anxiety or phobic disorders are formed. The psychology of fear Some common psychological factors include genet…

• New Citizen Science Project Helps Researchers Find Volunteers

  …Scientists give people answers to many questions: what planets are made of, how to defeat diseases, and why we dream at night. But sometimes they need our help – especially when they are bombarded with loads of routine work that even 10 or 20 researchers couldn’t handle on their own. They can’t seek relief in AI, either, because first, it would need to be trained usi…

  … semiconductor, it will create an envelope that will follow the impulse's contour. Upon leaving the medium, it will create a new impulse with just one oscillation of electromagnetic field. In the time domain, this impulse looks like a heartbeat on a cardiogram, while its range falls between microwave and infrared radiation – that is, in the terahertz range. Later …

• ITMO Researchers Find Quick and Easy Way to Detect Tick-Borne Encephalitis

  …t home-based detection of the TBE virus. The testing device uses electrochemical analysis and a multilayer perceptron, a machine learning method based on a feed-forward neural network. All you’d need to do is place the tick on its sensor. The data will then be processed by a special digital device – a potentiostat with in-built software.  The machine learning meth…
