• Picture of the Week: Human Neuroblastoma Cells on Spider Silk Fibers

  …nt of the works of Van Gogh, shows human neuroblastoma cells (IMR-32) on fibers of spider silk. The material is soaked with ferromagnetic particles (about 70 nm in diameter) obtained as a result of hydrothermal synthesis. Cells taken from neuroblastomas, or, in other words, malignant tumors consisting of mutated nerve cells, are used to test the biocompatibility o…

• ITMO Scientists Achieve Record-Breaking Efficiency of Terahertz Radiation in Liquids

  … However, devices based on THz radiation still aren’t used widely. The problem is that the strength of a signal significantly decreases in the atmosphere and as it passes certain obstacles, especially if they contain moisture. In particular, once the THz signal passes a millimeter of saline solution (similar in its characteristics to …

  …conductor devices. “Now, if you perpendicularly apply a magnetic field to the layer of semiconductor, the exciton cloud dispersing on impurities will deflect towards a certain side. This is a complete analog of the Hall effect. There’s a flow of particles (excitons, in our case); we turn the perpendicular magnetic field on, and the particles deflect towards the …
