• Evolutionary Biologist: The Brain Attracts a Lot of Attention, but We Still Don’t Know Much About It

  …rocesses taking place (the period of 50-60 years is considered to be the breaking point), but not to a high degree, which is why if we care for our health properly, we can maintain good brain activity up to a very old age. Apart from that, the differences in the brain’s lipid map allowed scientists to conduct one peculiar experiment. They compared the lipid co…

• Why is Quantum Physics so Hard to Understand?

  … The answer to this lies with the term decoherence. Decoherence emerges at the interaction of a quantum system with the environment, and at this moment, the chaos of the uncertainty of the environment’s state uncontrollably changes the state of a quantum system. A good example of this is the well-known observer effect: even passive observation of quantum reactions c…

• Winners of ITMO.STARS Talk About Their First Year at ITMO University

  …Challenge (FTC). This is a program for school students from the age of 12 to 18 years old where they design, create, and program robots, and then use them in order to solve certain tasks. I used to participate in FTC as a contestant and now I’m an organizer for Russian teams. My responsibilities include looking for locations and judges, getting accreditation, and sup…

• St. Petersburg Physicists Synthesize Hyperbolic Material for THz Frequency Range

  …provides for rather unusual effects. For instance, the opportunity to get a negative refractive index, which is impossible in standard optical materials. It means that in a certain frequency range in different directions the material can either be a dielectric unaffected by radiation, or a metal that reflects or absorbs it.” How to spray bismuth on mica  …

• Scientists Develop Method to Facilitate Plant Growth with Glass-Ceramics Lamps

  …calls for a lot of time and money. Another option is to use it to create lampshades.  “We can take blue and green light diodes and use our glass-ceramics as a filter to obtain a wide-spectrum emission that will include the IR range,” explains Anastasia Babkina.  The scientists have already created the samples of the new material; future experiments are …

• ITMO Researchers Develop New Terahertz Pulse-Based Data Encoding Method

  … the interference of two pulses, which would result in a so-called pulse train or frequency comb, which is used to encode data. “In the terahertz range, pulses tend to contain a small number of field oscillations; literally one or two per pulse,” says Egor Oparin. “They are very short and look like thin peaks on a graph. It is quite challenging to achieve interf…

• Results of the Open Call for ITMO University’s Art & Science Residency

  …ely to discuss each application with other judges and then choose the best ones. We have agreed upon the fact that the four finalists are very experienced, which gives us a certain guarantee that they will implement their projects in the best way possible. Another important criterion is how interesting the project will be for others: for ITMO students and researchers…

• Farshid Amini: When I Look at the Sky, I Imagine a Bigger World

  …opinion, Russian people are very kind and lovable. My only fear was that I had no experience travelling outside of Iran before. But when I finally decided to do it, I could certainly say it was the beginning of a new life for me. Did ITMO University surprise you in any way? All parts of the university are coordinated with each other, which I find important for …

• Scientists Create Program That Finds Synteny Blocks in Different Animals

  …oint, scientists need to know not just their genes but also how they are arranged in a chromosome, and how many common genome fragments there are.  “Gene sequences that retain their order in different species are called synteny blocks,” comments the researcher. In search for a new tool The identification of these synteny blocks is an essential task for g…

• ITMO University Hosts One of the Biggest Conferences on Control ECC 2020

  …lest case, a controller gets the measurements of the regulated variable, compares them to the desired value, and then begins to stabilize and correct the object following a certain law.” The conference featured a broad range of plenary sessions. There were six reports from the world’s leading researchers, where they covered how control theories are integrated in…
