• ITMO Student Wins ArtMasters Championship With Economic Simulator About Hermitage Cats

  …rt in university game jams, especially those organized by the Celestial Beasts student club. At a game jam, teams have a limited time to develop a prototype for a game on a specified topic. All such experiences boost my portfolio with completed cases that have helped me, for instance, pass the selection round of ArtMasters.  I also have a cat called Tykva (Pumpkin…

• Russian-Born Scientist Receives The 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry

  …bility of a chemical substance to gain electrons), melting point, and phase transitions. In other words, by fine-tuning their size, scientists can produce quantum dots with specific properties fit, for instance, for medical monitors and biosensors. In 1981, Alexei Ekimov first synthesized copper chlorine quantum dots in a glass matrix, while working at the Vavilov…

• A Multiuse Robot for Medical Applications Designed at ITMO

  …ts orientation and geometrical parameters to ensure precision laser processing. “The existing robotic solutions are aimed at mass-production items. Once adjusted for a specific device, they perform a series of programmed actions again and again. This approach is not suitable for small-scale or one-of-a-kind equipment, whereas our technology can be easily customi…

• Nobel Prize 2023 in Medicine Awarded for mRNA Vaccines: What Does It Mean?

  …o develop mRNA vaccines against COVID-19, including Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna. “One of the features of mRNA vaccines is their versatility. If we know their target (a specific virus), we can develop vaccines for a wide range of purposes. Thanks to this technology, we can quickly react to challenges that we have to face – as it was demonstrated during the pandem…

• Something of a Scientist Myself: Using Memes to Promote Science?

  …udents and researchers through topical online communities (some examples in Russia: biochem, physics and engineering, and an entire media for programmers). These are rather specific, with a high threshold: you need to know the meme format itself and have at least a basic familiarity with the subject field. However, it is impossible to create a meme for a single sp…

• Physicists From ITMO Generate Single Photons For Secure Information Encryption

  …hoton emitter formation is connected to point-like defects in the semiconductor monolayer. These defects activate when the monolayer’s crystalline lattice is stretched to a specific point. Single-photon emitters analyzed by the team are very bright, emit only one photon at a time in 98% of cases, and are easy to manufacture. What’s next The results of th…

• ITMO’s Monday Science Roundup #39

  …ureate Frank Wilczek, researchers at ITMO have come closer to solving the mystery of dark matter. Their recent study focuses on axions – dark matter “candidates” – and more specifically on a metamaterial that may help prove the existence of such particles. The idea is that the multi-layered material would be able to elicit a response that can only be produced by part…

• ITMO Scientists Present A Way to Control Light-Matter Coupling in Next-Gen Optical Devices

  …ctures in experiments, scientists have to rely on special microscopes – which come with their own limitations: for instance, light has to be coupled into a sample only at a specific angle, while lengthy measurements are required to visualize the interaction between light and matter.   A solution from ITMO ITMO physicists have suggested their own approach…
