How Your Brain Makes Decisions
… an unconscious buildup of electrical activity within the brain, i.e. it may be possible to predict the upcoming outcome of a decision before the subject is aware of it. This discovery triggered a discussion amongst specialists from many fields; three major scientists and Nobel Prize laureates Paul Glimcher (neurobiologist), Vernon Smith (economist), and Daniel Kahne…

…row elastic diamonds. UNIST has unveiled that brittle diamonds can be bent and stretch by as much as nine percent without breaking, then return to their original shape. Their discovery completely overturns previous theories that diamonds are brittle. Their results could open up unprecedented possibilities for tuning its optical, optomechanical, magnetic, phononic, an…

New Blockchain-Based System Will Control Quality of Medical and Chemical Products
… also work on applied pharmaceutical research and chemical engineering, we often encounter a particular issue. Chemists create new medical products and drug delivery systems, discover new active ingredients, etc. But every time we stop and think about one simple thing: whatever new, amazing properties a new product has, and no matter how effective it is, does the end…

ITMO Hosts Conference on Cognitive Technologies and Quantum Intelligence
…t. In Germany, the opinions divided in a more classical manner: there were people who supported the migration policy, those who didn’t, and a third group that expressed their discontent with migration policy but expressed their support towards Merkel in general. In the USA, the results were even more interesting. We got two “leftward” groups: the more politicized one…

ITMO Participates in SPIE Photonics Europe 2018
…photonics. We’ve developed a technology for introducing nanoclusters into the hosts’ nanopores, and then researched the optical properties of such a material. As a result, we discovered a peculiar effect - the transition of optical excitation energy from the host to the nanoclusters. It turned out that by modulating the conditions of the aluminium coating process, we…

Bike Ride with the Rector: St. Petersburg Best Routes
… I ride it from time to time. I’ve always loved bikes. A friend of mine from ITMO University once gave me a walking tour through the city center, and I had a chance to discover many beautiful places that you don’t usually notice when rushing to work. Then I went there by bike and saw the city from a different perspective. I think that being a university specia…

How Citizen Science Helps in “True” Research
…ce more democratic and open to the public. It became necessary that not only scientists, science journalists or communicators talk about science, not only experts present new discoveries, but the public itself was involved in research. According to Julia Lorke, now we have many definitions of citizen science. Each institute and organization has its own vision of t…
