How Databases Help Find Relevant Data For Research Faster
…t with a keyword depending on the topic. Search results can also be filtered. In the second case, the user selects the connection structure from the templates, if necessary, draws the schema, and sees all the elements in which there is a similar structure. You can also add various elements of the structure to learn more about how they affect the properties of the mat…

Physicists Propose New Mechanism of Radio Emission in Neutron Stars
…lectrons are attracted to the surface of the star by strong gravity. As a result, particles are "trapped" in a thin layer just above the surface of the star. According to the laws of quantum mechanics, the energy of the trapped electrons can only take discrete values. If the electrons fall onto the surface of the neutron star, they pass over the discrete gravity stat…

Dmitry Volkov vs. Tatyana Chernigovskaya: Superintelligence and Living Machines
… we intended, then we are on the right track. Why do logical conclusions and mathematical proofs apply to real nature? Immanuel Kant said that "reason does not draw its laws from nature, but prescribes them to it." Another question that torments me is why can’t we apply mathematics to real nature? Why should I believe it? Does nature have the mathematics of hu…

…A new interactive map shows climate change everywhere in the world. The map draws on five decades of public meteorological data recorded from 50,000 international weather stations around the Earth and allows students or researchers to compare the climates of places anywhere in the world. New device harvests water from dry air. The system, based on relatively new h…

Academic Mobility: ITMO Student on Studying in Poland
High School Laboratories for Nanotechnologies
…These are just few of the questions they’ll be able to answer having started to study nanotechnologies. The schoolchildren will also be able to observe how the fundamental laws of physics work. For instance, they’ll see how the quantum tunneling effect is used in a tunneling microscope, learn to measure miniscule force with the help of Hooke’s law, a laser, a phot…

New Semester At The Children's University
…ical toy is part of the tour; they take the toy home, and remember what they’ve learned when they play with it. We also use simple real-life examples to explain the different laws of optics; this way, the kids can remember them when they see something similar in their daily lives. Older children get to fill in special leaflets where they write the conclusions and obs…

ITMO Students’ Project Cryptopus Helps Cryptocurrency Investors Reduce Risks
…. At the same time, the likelihood of losing one’s investments is much bigger, too. This is especially relevant for players new to the market, who have to learn the rules and laws of a complicated system in a short period of time. This was Alexandr Romanov’s situation, too. His first experience trading on a cryptocurrency exchange was a failure due to a lack of ex…

Double Degree Programs in Iceland: Recent Participants Share
…try to decrease the size of all of the computer parts, magnetic storage systems included. Lesser magnets mean more blocks, and more data encoded. Yet, on nanoscale, different laws of physics come into play; for instance, the quantum effects emerge, and the systems also become more sensitive to external magnetic fields, temperatures and other external influences. It w…

ITMO Dean Sergei Kozlov Receives Auspicious Award
…r life path? I enjoyed doing theoretical work from school. I was the school champion of the Kaliningrad region in physics, mathematics and chemistry. I liked inventing new laws and coming up with new formulas. When I became the Head of the Department at the university, I became interested in the applied aspects of my work also. You know what they say: "There is no…
