ITMO Researchers Develop Method for Production of Hollow Nanoparticles From Liquid Metal
…hem as catalysts in various reactions, including dehydrogenation (one of the most important processes in petrochemistry). They are also used for targeted drug delivery and controlled release. Moreover, hollow nanoparticles exhibit some unique optical properties. “In photonics, metal nanoparticles are used to observe such phenomena as plasmonic resonance, which i…

How the Pandemic Is Causing a Technological Revolution in Medicine and Biotechnologies
…e use of artificial intelligence (AI) in these fields. Thanks to the development of bioinformatics, genomics, and new materials, medical research is moving towards well-controlled and predictive engineering mechanisms. Now, we understand how the DNA works better – it turns out that from a bioengineering point of view, it’s quite simple: you can basically work with…

Mind-Blowing Research of the Month: Brain-Computer Interfaces
…ormed if there is a medical condition that requires it. Thus, implanted electrodes can partially restore vision in those blinded in adulthood, help paralytics restore some control of their limbs, or prevent seizures in epileptics – all by stimulating either muscles or specific brain areas. Such cases are often referred to as neuroprosthetics and studied separately. S…

ITMO Scientists Propose Technology for Producing Fish Oil and Collagen From Herring Skin
…il and collagen solution. “After the processing, we got 22-25% of pure fish oil that was one-third omega-3 fatty acids,” says Elena Kuprina. “all the rest was collagen hydrolysate. So we have a 100% yield of the end product. This is what makes the technology so good ― zero waste.” For producing bioactive omega-3 fatty acids, ITMO specialists also developed …

ITMO Researchers Develop Biocompatible Support Device for Artificial Organs
…g lists for donor organs. But in order to begin the production of artificial organs on a large scale, scientists need to resolve several issues. One such issue is organ control. It’s not enough to “train” an artificial implant to do its functions – it must also be “plugged” into the nervous system. “Our internal organs are control
