• ITMO Scientists' New Screening Platform Predicts Antibiotic-Nanoparticle Combinations

  Researchers from ITMO University have developed the world’s first screening platform that predicts the efficiency of nanoparticle-antibiotic combinations for use against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The algorithm decreases the time spent looking for new effective compounds from several months to mere days, and is expected to help create new medications against bacteria that are dangerous for humans and resistant to antibiotics. The results of the research were published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces; the study was supported with grant No. 2019-1075 from the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education.

• ITMO Physicists Describe New Superfast Quantum Processes in Radiation

  Researchers at ITMO University have suggested a model for the visualization of superfast dynamic processes in light-radiating particles – and used it to predict new quantum phenomena. In contrast to the new model, existing methods can only be used to describe static processes, which significantly limits research options and presents a simplified view of the studied phenomena. Using the newly developed model, it will be possible to learn more about the nature of atoms, increase the efficiency of particle accelerator experiments, and create more accurate devices for the space industry and biomedicine. The related study was published in Communications Physics.
