Mahdi Akhlaqi: The Attitude We Have Towards Ourselves Makes Us Who We Are And Who We Will Be
ITMO Scientists and Mariinskaya Hospital Specialists Are Developing a New Thrombolytic Drug
…und to the place where this drug is needed. We came up with a unique composition that combines the thrombolytic effect, the anticoagulant effect, and the possibility to control the movement of molecules in the body with the help of a magnetic field. Anticoagulants are a substance that prevents the formation of new blood clots. Typically, such drugs should be presc…

Scientists Create Listeriosis-Immune Mice by Turning off Gene in Myeloid Cells
…to understand how the immune system works, scientists conduct experiments and study mice populations in which the animals possess certain non-functioning genes as a result of prolonged targeted cross-breeding. When this approach, known to scientists as “gene knockout”, results in changes to the way an animal’s immune system operates, it means that the gene has a dire…

New Apps for the New Year
…I would like to be more mindful, more present, and just be in the moment more often. It’s quite a challenge though and to get myself going, I started using the screen time control feature on my phone. My eventual goal is to limit my phone screen time to three hours a day max and incorporate a two-hour digital detox before going to sleep (right now I’m practicing a 20…

Scientists Studied Hybrid Nanoparticles Capable of Generating Broadband Radiation
…m Si nanoparticles. These results pave the way for designing the internal structure of the sponge-like hybrid nanoparticles possessing white light luminescence and control of their optical properties on demand. “It was Sergey Makarov, a PhD in Physics and Mathematics, who started working on this project. Together with his team, he performed the synthesis…

International Team of Scientists Discover New Phenomenon in Topological Physics
…n be scaled and used for data transfer and processing, in new optical chips and other microelectronic devices. “Our work’s main practical significance is that you can control the electromagnetic field on a smaller scale, for example localize it in a very small area (for example at the corner of a structure or at three corners at the same time). In future, this c…

Machine Rights: Can an AI Create And How Should Its Creations Be Protected?
…rson, an editor, who sets up the algorithm to do it. This bit is usually skipped, but people don’t disappear from the process of creating a piece of news, it’s just that their role is changing. When a computer is writing an article, which is quite common nowadays, it is not doing the same work a journalist would. It simply takes the facts, like the outcome of a m…

ITMO.KIDS: A Technopark for Children
…n’s age and the nature of the course). As part of the former, the children attend one or two lessons where they work on a particular project, for example create hydraulics-controlled robotic hands or programmable machines. The only participation requirement is a child’s interest in a particular field. The technopark’s staff say that it’s best to show the children all…

Pharmacological Constructor: Scientists Propose Method for Synthesising Calcium Carbonate Particles with Different Geometry for Targeted Drug Delivery
…Nano- and microparticles are widely used as platforms for delivering biologically active compounds to cells. Among their key benefits are controllable physical and chemical properties, an increased loading capacity, stability in biological fluids (i.e. blood), as well as the opportunity to load the particles with hydrophilic or hydrophobic drugs. Calcium carbonate is…
