• Scientists Develop Transparent High-Performance Material for Flexible Displays and Solar Panels

  …More and more manufacturers of electronics experiment with technologies and impress their consumers with foldable smartphones or rollable TVs. However, the materials industry only takes the first steps in this field, so flexible devices are high-priced and not mass-produced.  “Any display is an optoelectronic device. Roughly speaking, contacts connected to the d…

• FoodTech Master’s Program Head Olesya Volokh: Food Is Always in Fashion

  …ectly. Students of our nutritional science course at LMSU learn how to properly analyze a list of ingredients and how much of what should be in any product depending on its role in the nutritional process. We learn what the various food categories are. We also look at how much dairy or cereals a person must consume daily, what functional foods are, and what are th…

• Scientists Demonstrate New Opportunities for Controlling Light in Optical Graphene

  …f a particle that moves with a specific speed depends on its spin even at a zero magnetic field. In case of a photonic graphene, various polarizations of light play the spin’s role. We can create an equation that would describe the propagation of electrons in one case and the propagation of photons in the other. In both cases, the field is characterized by a four-com…

• Soft Skills: What Are They and Why Do We Need Them?

  … elements that make up the communication process – and how to achieve the right result by changing a particular element. We all know how to talk, think, and (more or less) control our behavior; that is enough to start developing your communication skills. Just like with any new activity, it’s best to start with theory and then move on to exercise. To get the feedback…

• To Fear or Not to Fear: Psychologist Alexander Palin on the Nature of Phobias

  …ors often depicted Phobos – the god of horror – on their weapons. They believed that he would help them frighten and conquer their enemies. Science defines phobias as uncontrollable fears that lie at the core of phobic disorders. Phobias fall into two main categories: specific and social phobias.  Specific phobias are associated with an overwhelming and unreaso…

• New Citizen Science Project Helps Researchers Find Volunteers

  …ouncil, volunteers can be of use in many types of research. For example, they can make observations where there are no research stations. “For example, I work in meteorology, and in the case of statistics on weather hazards, having volunteers who monitor what’s happening, photograph it, and send this data to scientists is very important. But oftentimes, peop…

• ITMO Graduate ‪Andrei Gorodetsky on His Career, European Science, and Work in Different Countries

  …to work in science. At first, I was engaged in obtaining terahertz holographic images, then I gradually switched to studying new sources of terahertz radiation and ways to control it, notably with the use of optical nanoantennas. At some point, I even worked at the particle accelerator. Could you tell us more about this phenomenon? Terahertz radiation falls in …
