• ITMO Scientists Develop Nanostructured Temperature Indicator Based on Carbon Dots and Nanocellulose

  … combined with a carrier to produce a film. In our case, cellulose allows us to have two processes in one place: it is both a carrier of the dots and a source of carbon,” explains first author of the article and a PhD student at ChemBio Cluster Anastasia Navrotskaya. Thanks to the fact that carbon dots react to changes in the environment, as well as to the prope…

• Nizhny Novgorod: The Capital of Sunsets

  …easily reached by a two-hour flight. But since I wanted to play it safe (and cheap, mostly) I ventured out to start the journey on the train from the Moskovsky railway station instead. I have to admit that 13 hours on the upper shelf near the lavatory of an open sleeping compartment didn’t sound exciting in any way, but it turned out I’d actually bought a ticket for …

• How Sport Affects Our Cognitive Skills

  … aspiring athletes. They stress that the effect of exercise on cognition occurs only when a person works out consistently and intensively. Giorgia Cona and her colleagues, for instance, spotted differences in self-control and speed of information processing between more and less successful runners. A research team led by Torbjörn Vestberg conducted a similar experime…

• ITMO Scientists Design a Model to Protect Quantum Computing From Disorder

  … Once we connect them, an interesting phenomenon occurs – topological interface states appear on their boundary. Such states are secured by the system’s symmetry, and thus are insensitive to local perturbations. For example, they’re resistant to disorder: even if the structure of the system is disturbed in several places, the frequency of the modes and the direction …

• How Optional Courses Can Instill a Love Of Science

  …ate a course – to enrich and organize my knowledge in the field. My course includes topics that are hardly covered at university yet are crucial for overall understanding. For instance, I devoted one of my classes to the biochemistry of muscle contractions, which students are unlikely to fully understand without attending a university lecture on the bioenergetics of …

• An Overview of Early Russian Cinema

  …ion films. Their main characters are bugs that satirically represent aristocrats and film-makers of the time. This was so unusual for the contemporaries that many believed the insects were actually alive and somehow trained to perform. Another milestone for early Russian cinema were Paul Timan’s films. Among his most popular works were film adaptations of classica…

• Song of the Month: May 2022

  …onist of the series, who suffers from dissociative identity disorder, played by Oscar Isaac. The song alone is very appealing to me because of its simplicity. No sophisticated instruments and effects. Just pure music and emotion. In fact, I am trying to learn the song as it suits my vocal range perfectly (apparently, I am a tenor).  Elizaveta In the May bat…

  … supervisor.  You’re not only a lecturer but also a researcher. What do you do at the lab?  Generally speaking, our lab specializes in laser processing of materials. For instance, we develop laser methods to provide surface wear resistance, hydrophobicity, and hydrophilicity. For example, laser exposure can make the surface of materials less homogeneous and smo…
