Triumph Again: Russian Students Win Four Gold Medals at International Olympiad in Informatics
…ps. Next, winners and runners-up of the national contest can become candidates for the national team. They take part in several training camps, prove themselves at the Asian Pacific Olympiad, and then the coaching team chooses four best performers who will participate in IOI,” shared the team’s coach Andrey Stankevich, the Dean of ITMO’s Information Technologies and …

ITMO Physicists Develop Multifunctional Material for Thermal Melanoma Therapy
…diamonds can be used for local melanoma therapy. For this purpose, scientists plan to investigate the photothermal process on a larger number of animals to understand which specific parameters influence the success of treatment, as well as to check how the activity of plasmonic nanodiamonds combines with another type of cancer therapy. This research project is sup…

Good Chaos: How Chaos Theory Helps Scientists and Everyone Else
… instead of two summer destinations. The more Anna earns, the more locations she can afford – that’s what a cascade of bifurcations is. Now, it is impossible to predict her specific location in summer. Anna’s trips may appear chaotic, yet they follow certain laws and patterns. Scientists have even been able to determine the pattern of bifurcations. For example, i…

Quantum Computers, Dark Matter, and New Materials: Latest from Theoretical Physics
…n of new products to the scientific market. Among other pressing issues is the possibility of manipulating individual atoms within molecules. Is it possible to isolate a specific atom within a molecule? And what about extracting it? Or adding new atoms? Will it be possible to assemble new molecules from individual atoms in the laboratory? All these questions remai…

Student Spotlight: Nguyen Toan, Vietnam
…d robotics engineering. The second stage (the semifinals) involved working with a simulation template for a vehicle on ROS (robot operating system) where we had to complete specific tasks and submit our results for ranking. In the final stage, we worked with real vehicles, handling tasks that involved color recognition and dealing with real-world noise, which tested …

ITMO Scientists’ New Machine Learning Model Predicts Nanoparticle Shape and Size
…use and provide a good alternative to the usual machine learning models because they do not require advanced programming skills and they also produce more accurate results. Specifically, the average accuracy of predicting nanoparticle shapes using GPT-4 was 81%, which exceeds previously proposed approaches,” shares the paper’s second author Andrey Dmitrenko, a leadin…

Tiny Orchestra: New AI Model Uses Water Vapor to Make Music
…inciples. Within this aggregation of liquid, droplets can transmit information from one to another, creating a communication network. This system can be programmed to solve specific tasks (such as generating random numbers or finding a way out of a maze), but it is essential to understand the principles that govern it and how to control it. This is no easy feat, as r…

No More Counterfeiting – Thanks to Photon Crystals from ITMO
…ink inside to remain liquid and mobile. “As a result, we acquired an ordered system: if a magnet is placed close to it, all the magnetic particles will assemble into a specific image, the color of which depends on the magnet’s proximity – it can be red, green, or blue. This technology can be used as an easily identifiable anti-counterfeiting tag. Using this meth…

Brains in Sync: What’s New in Brain Research
…Classic experimental designs Many of the facts we know about the human brain and behavior were discovered in labs through a very specific form of experiments that were designed to minimize uncontrolled effects. Regardless of the chosen brain activity registration method, be it EEG (registering bioelectric brain activity), fMRI, or fNIRS (both of which register the…
