• Alexander Voiskynsky: Psychologist On Informatization

  …ed the October Revolution, but it was in November. As you remember, it is all due to using different calendars. Yet, most have already forgotten about it. So, how do we solve such a problem? Well, do you know any chemists? Well, I know a couple. Most of them will tell you Lithium's atomic number. Yet, do you have to know it? I doubt it. Same thing's w…

• Geek Picnic-2017: Richard Dawkins, Cyborgs, VR and Psychological Experiments

  …orders. As of the present time, most psychological experiments go as following: a participant comes into an office where the scientists work; there, they play special games or solve tasks.  There will be even more interesting lectures during Geek Picnic's second day. The schedule can be seen on the event's website.…

  …n with foreign-made coating materials, but surpass them in its properties,” – says Evgenia Guseva. Unlike many other poly-ureaurethane coatings, this material contains no solvent or thinning agents. Many of today’s manufacturers are making an effort to cut down on the use of such elements, mainly out of ecological concerns. This is because thinning agents that a…

• International Team Proposes New 3D Topological Insulator Design

  …with light. This is very important for development of cheaper and more reliable lasers, as common lasers are really sensitive to the slightest deformations of their structure. Solving this problem will greatly increase their efficiency," notes Alexander Khanikaev.  In the nearest future, the scientists plan to conduct an experiment on using the new 3D topologica…

• ITMO University Launches The New Organic Electronics and Photovoltaics Laboratory

  …es not work on theoretical issues only, i.e. research for the sake of research, something we can't say we support and aspire to work with. We prefer working with those who can solve industry tasks and convert research into something that can be applied, i.e. conduct R&D that will be of interest to the industry. As we now launch contact manufacturing projects, it is m…

• New Femto-Camera with Quadrillion Fractions of a Second Resolution

  …rapy. “Our device will help biologists and genetic engineers track what is happening inside a living cell with a resolution of about 50 femtoseconds – this is enough to resolve many biochemical reactions. Theoretically, the camera can even capture an electron jumping to another orbit. However, that is important, now we can study viability of cells not passively,…

• Art&Science: Optical Devices In Fine Arts And Design's Role In Evolution

  …t is the vast field that is at the conflux of physical and digital world that both designers and scientists have to immerse in. By inventing new instruments, developers aim to solve challenging problems and raise new global questions. For instance, MoMA started to develop videogames, which Paola Antonelli believes to be an example of interactive design. "Games c…

  …arch for anything by themselves, yet it doesn't really work well when one looks for an answer to a particular question. This was the problem ITMO's scientists worked on. To solve it, the PhD students created an aggregation system based on the ECOLE semantic technology. The system already offered many interesting solutions, yet it did not factor in the latest trend…

  … than here, as they were not built for cars. Communications and traffic systems are rarely ever built according to a predetermined design; they evolve with the city. Amsterdam solved that problem well by developing its bicycle system. Same with Copenhagen, where cyclists have priority over drivers. This approach, then, ends up hurting the drivers’ interests… So ho…
