• Scientists Studied Hybrid Nanoparticles Capable of Generating Broadband Radiation

  … exist at present, it necessitates every-time excitation of the radiation in the near field, and only then its detection in the far-field. Thus, existing approaches only allow scientists to work in a very narrow range of excitation wavelengths, and changing it requires a full equipment readjustment. The proposed hybrid nanostructure will allow for circumventing this …

• International Team of Scientists Discover New Phenomenon in Topological Physics

  …s offer an opportunity to substantially change the properties of some materials that are used in electronics. While studying the properties of the topological phase of matter, scientists discovered new materials with unique properties that are called topological insulators. “In nature, there are insulators that don’t conduct electricity, and conductors that do, …

• Physicists Trap Light in Nanoresonators for Record Time

  …years ago, an international research team from ITMO University, the Australian National University, and the Ioffe Institute theoretically predicted a new mechanism that allows scientists to trap light in miniature resonators much smaller than the wavelength of light and measured in hundreds of nanometers. However, until recently, no one had implemented the mechanism …

• Tsegai Tekle: Russia Exceeded My Expectations

  …ers. I am lucky to enjoy the fabulous environment of St. Petersburg. Is there any great book or movie you’ve read or seen recently? Most of the time I’m used to reading scientific books related to my field of study. But, in my spare time, I read psychology books. Recently, I read The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg, and The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene. …

• Geek Teachers: ITMO University Graduate’s Project for Training School Teachers in New Technologies

  … There was real output there, and in general, this is much more interesting to me than creating websites and apps. That’s why after some time, I decided to start as a computer science teacher at a school. The first experience wasn’t very successful, I started in November and wanted to quit two months after, but was persuaded to stay till the end of the academic year.…
