• Adapting To Russia: International Students Share Their Experience

  Education, communication, traditions, living conditions, food and weather - all of those change dramatically for international students who come to study in Russia. To adapt to the new environment, they can rely on specialists from the International Students Learning and Support Center; yet, having the right attitude is important as well, believe the exchange students from Europe and Brazil who came to ITMO for the IT and Business Innovations in Russia course. In an interview with our newsportal, they shared their experience of studying at ITMO University.

• Trapping Light: Anisotropic Structures Can Increase Optical Device's Efficiency

  ITMO's scientists Yuri Kivshar and Mikhail Rybin published an article in the News&Views section of the Nature Photonics journal on the research of their colleagues from Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology. The article explains how the Spanish researchers succeeded in using the anisotropic properties of a compound for creating simpler yet more effective optical devices based on the so-called bound states in continuous spectrum. In future, this discovery can be applied in optical detection systems and other devices, shared Mikhail Rybin, Deputy Head of ITMO's Department of Dielectric and Semiconductor Photonics and senior research officer of the Spectroscopy of Solids Laboratory of the Ioffe Institute.

• Research Associates Migraine with Hypertension

  St. Petersburg's scientists learned that that though arterial hypertension and migraines manifest themselves differently, they may have a similar origin. The researchers discovered that patients who have migraines have twice more relatives with cardiovascular problems than healthy people.  Yet, patients with migraines and normal blood pressure and patients with migraines and hypertension react to autonomic regulation of circulation tests differently.  According to the scientists, by studying the links between these diseases, one will be able to better understand mechanisms of their development and causes of frequent cardiovascular complications in migraine patients. The article was published in the Autonomic Neuroscience: Basic and Clinical.

• Cameras On A Chip And Holographic Displays: How Dielectric Nanophotonics Changes Our Future

  Tunable flat optics which can help create ultra-thin lenses with variable focal length and even create a camera on a chip, or smartphone displays that do not show 2D images, but 3D holograms - these are not some concepts from a recent sci-fi movie, but real projects that can soon be completed thanks to development of dielectric nanophotonics. Nowadays, research on this subject is conducted in many of the world's leading universities and science centers, and in March 2017, Arseniy Kuznetsov from the A-STAR's Data Storage Institute (DSI) in Singapore got the prestigious THE IET AF Harvey Prize for research on dielectric nanoantennas and their application in development of new high-technology devices. Since 2011, ITMO University also works on research in this field in collaboration with Mr. Kuznetsov. Read about what opportunities this research offers and how sci-fi translates into reality in our article.
