• QS WUR by Subject 2021: ITMO Debuts Among Top 100 Universities in Computer Science

  …ce in once-unfamiliar, uncharacteristic subject areas of social sciences and humanities. To put it more correctly, it develops its educational and research competencies at the intersection of different sciences – in the interdisciplinary realm. In essence, we’re already seeing ourselves in 24 subject rankings. Naturally, ITMO will continue to improve its positions in…

• Highlights of Another Break Down by Atoms Lecture at the Informational Center for Atomic Energy

  …electric energy and the soils they populate. To test the hypothesis requires getting a large number of people involved, which can be done through citizen science.  Only a small fraction of existing microorganisms are studied by scientists around the world. The research group behind the project is interested in those bacteria that have high levels of electric activ…

• ITMO Researchers Develop Method for Production of Hollow Nanoparticles From Liquid Metal

  …Hollow metal nanoparticles are commonplace in many fields of research. Chemists use them 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, m…

• How the Pandemic Is Causing a Technological Revolution in Medicine and Biotechnologies

  …tated forms of the virus, but there are many problems with it: you can only work with such vaccines in special conditions at a high level of biosafety, which limits the scale of production and transportation. New coronavirus vaccines use platform technologies: a gene with a “spike” protein (which the virus uses to penetrate a human cell) is inserted into a ready-m…

  … – be that blood oxygenation level (like with MRI) or electrical activity (like for instance, with EEG) – and then sends it to a processing unit that would analyze it and perform an action. Such pathways can be used in research – to better understand the brain (aka the most complex object in the universe), in medicine – to help people suffering from, for instance, ep…

• ITMO Scientists Propose Technology for Producing Fish Oil and Collagen From Herring Skin

  …ltic Coast company propose using it for producing mayonnaise and sauces. “In my project, we want to use hydrolysate as an emulsifying and stabilizing additive in mayonnaise production. Since hydrolysate has a distinct smell of fish, these sauces will be used in the production of herring preserves as well as fish and vegetable salad…

• Giant Turnips and Runaway Buns: Essential Russian Folktales

  …Even though there is one word for “fairytale” and “folktale” in Russian (“сказка” – skazka), the distinction between those two genres exist: these are народные (folk) and литературные (literary) сказки. The first term refers to oral tradition, which, until recent centuries, was primary. The very word сказка is a reminder of that, as it derives from the word “сказа…

• ITMO PhD Student Anna Mikhailovskaya Receives IEEE MTT-S Graduate Fellowship

  …. At the same time, MRI is a non-invasive and thus a relatively safe method of diagnostics.  For instance, MRI gives us a unique chance to study the metabolic and microvascular functions of skeletal muscles by means of measurement of phosphorus and hydrogen protons. That’s why we need coils for lower limbs that work on two nuclei – one on phosphorus and one on hyd…
