Eco-Horror: What It Is and Why We Love To Fear It
… to the genre? Here are four key films to watch (or rewatch): Jaws (1975) Tired: Jaws is about a bunch of guys versus a man-eating shark. Wired: Jaws is about the clash between nature and economic interests. After all, the titular predator isn’t actually being hunted because it eats people – but because it threatens the resort town’s main income source. …

Chilean Researcher Ivan Martinez – on “Serious Russians,” Loving Chemistry, and Traveling for Science
… time we still couldn’t accomplish our goal. Nevertheless, our work wasn’t in vain. We synthesized an organic compound that proved useful in creating a chemical connection between metals and reagents; this connection is crucial to producing organometallic catalysts for the polymerization of ethylene. In science, this happens often: the more novel and risky the ide…

ITMO Scientists Increase Sensitivity of Levitating Particle Sensors
…ar (low-amplitude oscillations) and nonlinear (movement along a rhombus-like trajectory). In the new study, the team has for the first time considered the phase transition between linear and nonlinear movement and found the optimal state in which the microparticle becomes extremely sensitive to small external influences. These different modes of movement can be…

Student Spotlight: Omar Haj Muhammad, Syria
…my relatives studied in Russia or the former Soviet Union, so I grew up with their stories. I had already started learning Russian before coming, but there’s a big difference between speaking a language and arguing with a babushka on the bus about whether you’re sitting in the wrong seat! Those little moments are what make you adapt faster. Outside of studies…

AI Pharmacist: ITMO-Developed Algorithm Helps Produce New Efficient Antibiotics
…ked the molecules via the free energy perturbation (FEP) method, which uses computer modeling to turn one molecule into another and accurately calculate the energy difference between the two. As a result, the researchers found two compounds with greater activity than that of novobiocin. The next step for the researchers is laboratory testing. “By doing lab t…

ITMO Scientists Design Model to Analyze Surfaces of All Sizes
…ys to enhance traction and make contact smoother. Physicists and material scientists study the parameters of terrain layout and textures to better understand the adhesion between smooth and rough surfaces. In particular, they measure reliefs using physical methods; these could be atomic force microscopy, profilometry, or satellite measurements, depending on the s…

Scientific Show, Lectures, and Lab Tours: Recap of Physics Day 2025 at ITMO
…of quantum physics and wireless power transfer to the latest Nobel Prize-winning projects and the quest for new particles in space. Scientists also discussed the similarities between physicists, chemists, and biologists, as well as shared their experience of founding a center of engineering developments. Participants could test their knowledge by competing in physics…

ITMO’s Monday Science Roundup #88
ITMO Launches Institute of Artificial Intelligence
…et any limits on where you teach or where you study. What are the institute’s activities most focused on – innovation, research, or education? How will you reach a balance between these areas? The main goal of the new department is to create a unified strategic platform for the development of AI as a cross-cutting technology of national importance. We focus on …

ITMO Experts Share Best Practices for Training Top Tech Leadership Specialists
…irst two years study math in-depth while also learning about existing AI technologies. In their third year, students use their knowledge of math formulas to understand neural networks and other tools, while in their fourth year this background helps them tackle complex “frontier science” courses and understand AI systems in general. Support for extracurricular act…
