• Available THz: An Article by ITMO’s Researchers Is on the Cover of the Magazine Laser&Photonics Reviews

  …ion, we use semiconductors with minimal lifetime of charge carriers. But to increase efficiency of converting optical radiation into THz, we cover a semiconductor body with specifically shaped golden contacts. This is called a photoconductive antenna. An external field increases the energy of charge carrier, and the power of THz radiation has increased, respectively.…

• New Priorities in Education: A Press Conference by the Minister of Education

  …by the Council of Russian Rectors. In most cases, the examination is relevant for universities with programs in engineering and natural sciences, as they often require more specific evaluation of the applicant's knowledge. We'd like to note that the mean Unified State Exam score amongst ITMO's first years who enrolled on Math programs in 2016 was the highest in the …

• Genome Editing Will Help Cure HIV

  …d by Professor Boris Fehse and Professor Boris Afanasiev. ITMO University. Marina Popova "The method is based on studying the changes in the DNA sequences. We use site-specific genome editing to simulate the mutation that provides the cell's resilience to HIV. If that is done with bone marrow cells, then a patient can be cured from HIV", explains Marina Popova, …

• ITMO’s Researchers for Nature: How Does New Ultra-Compact Laser Work?

  … particle’s staying in a bound state even when its energy rate is enough to escape from the hole. This has long been considered as a math peculiarity appearing when solving specific equations. However later it was proved that this phenomenon is much closer to real life — thanks to resonance theory, scientists discovered that one can meet such states in various wave p…

• A Guide for Energy Saving: How to Make It Safer and Cheaper

  …ied for many years because required elements are cheap and widespread. The problem is that such batteries stop working after several charging sessions. The researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (the USA) discovered that this problem was caused by uncontrolled chemical reactions, manganese "disappears" in the electrolyte solution. To slow this proces…

• Singlet Oxygen and UV Emission, or Why Winter Strolls Are Good for Your Health

  …Singlet oxygen is a specific active form of common oxygen that has more molecular energy. Thus, singlet oxygen is more active in redox reactions. In a human organism, it regulates cellular activity and has effect on immune reactions; singlet oxygen is widely used in medicine. "Singlet oxygen can be formed as a result of photocatalytic processes: the matter absorbs …
