ITMO Student Alexander Berestennikov Becomes Recipient of Zhores Alferov Scholarship
… Regular nanostructures and waveguides always contain some kinds of defects. The result is that these photonic structures suffer from optical losses due to the scattering and refraction at corners, curves, and defects. If we create a special metamaterial – a topological insulator – we can achieve a complete lack of scattering and wave decay. Another curious pro…

ITMO University Students Launch a Digital Medicine Project
… of telemedicine still hasn’t been formalized neither legally nor factually: few are ready to risk venturing into this field. But recent developments give IT startups a new scope of action. One such service in the field of digital medicine has recently been launched by Nikolay Polovnev and Sergey Shemelev, ITMO Accelerator residents and students of ITMO’s Innovative …

Song of the Month: July 2020
…ögni released his debut solo album, Two Trains. On the album’s fourth track, Crash (see below), Egilsson masterfully mixes the genres of his two bands, with a soft, violin-accented section flawlessly merging into an ominous electronic finisher worthy of Nine Inch Nails. No two songs on the album are alike, so if you’re even at least enticed by Crash, I encourage you …

ITMO Graduate Anastasia Tukmakova on Her Path in Science, Thermoelectricity, and New Materials
…e electricity once a temperature difference occurs in a thermoelectric circuit. Temperature difference creates electrical voltage or electric current. This effect can be used for detection. We decided to create a thermoelectric detector that would be sensitive to terahertz radiation. If the film heats up or changes its characteristics because it interacted with radia…

Researchers Develop Supersensitive Method to Measure Surface Topography With THz Radiation
…ion is an electromagnetic radiation that works in the frequency range between infrared and microwave ones. It opens great possibilities for researchers – from ultrafast internet connection to replacing X-ray. Lately, scientists have been experimenting with getting 3D images based on subjecting objects to Thz radiation. The Russian-French research group succeeded in a…

How and Why Do Scientists Create Nanorobots?
…organic (proteins, nucleic acids) or inorganic (silicon, carbon, ferrous materials) compounds and their combinations. Why, then, are they called robots? Here, a distinction has to be made between nanomachines and nanorobots. The main difference between them is that the robots need to have not only the sensor and motor units but also a processor as a s…

Not a New Format, but a New Form of Communication: ITMO Teaching Staff on Distance Learning
…uring which students can discuss various topics and ask questions. Another tip touches on lab assignments: these should be conducted in parallel Zoom rooms – one for frontal instruction and another for students’ individual presentations. Aleksandr’s third tip concerned monitoring of tests, which remains an issue despite the existence of tools such as Olymp. He …
