• ITMO Scientists Develop New “White” Near-Field Optical Microscope

  …lenses refract light differently, which means that the resulting image is distorted. Near-field optical microscopy has another issue: due to the low efficiency of interaction between the localized field and the probe, a more intense light is needed to attain sufficient signal strength. What is more, only a small part of the emission reaches the object, and the rest i…

• New Opportunities: ITMO University Revamps Its Entrepreneurial Activities

  … to the entrepreneurial approach that ITMO started to develop those new fields that it never focused on before, like the Biochemistry Cluster that is now comprised of a whole network of international laboratories. Actually, if not for that, we wouldn’t even have started to work in the field of Computer Science back in the 90’s.   ITMO's  Biochemistry Cluster Wh…

• ITMO Physicists Use Radiofrequency Trap to “Freeze” Nanocrystals

  …Particles with a size of 10 to 100 nm are referred to as mesoscopic. Their size puts them between the quantum and “regular” worlds; this means that, in regular conditions, nanocrystals behave like regular Brownian particles, constantly in motion and colliding with each other. However, if their kinetic energy were to be lowered, along with their speed and temperature,…

• ITMO’s Academic Council Wraps Up 2017

  …e cooperation with leading academic and industrial partners. Thus, the further transformation of the educational process will be conducted in accordance with the concept of a network university and in close cooperation with companies. In developing new standards, the Federal State Educational Standards were also taken into account, as well as the professional stan…

• Russian And German Students Collaborate On An Industry 4.0 Project

  …presentation is planned for May. Future prospects Students plan to further develop their project: according to Semyon Mironov, they are even considering adding a neural network to help solve tasks related to automated development of technological processes. “Before developing a technological process, one has to work out all operations, transitions and the …

• Yandex.Taxi and Programmers’ Ability To Predict Users’ Behavior

  …. What has changed for drivers who joined Yandex.Taxi and other similar services? During rush hours, they spend 85% of the time with passengers. This happens thanks to the network effect (in layman’s terms, network effect is when every new user who joins improves the service for everyone). The Android system is a classical example. T…

• Scientists Launched a New Method for Microscopy of Nanoobjects

  …ch it so that small loose objects remain intact. We can do it thanks to advanced measurement algorithms as well as high-speed electronics that records the interaction signals between the probe and the surface in the real time." Scientists used a new method to study nanotubes made of a short peptide diphenylalanine. They measured the elasticity of peptide nanotub…

• ITMO’s Future Technologies Alumni Develop a 3D Printer And Win RSCI Grant

  … photopolymer resins with their solidification by the action of laser radiation. Many other technologies work with photopolymer resins (or plastics). However, the correlation between price and quality of printing is a topical issue. Printers costing from 30 to 200 thousand rubles are widely represented in the market. They produce items quickly enough, but the quality…

• Ilya Nikiforov, Founder Of TeachMePlease, On Blockchain in Education

  …etized. There are lots of examples when a person studied to be an economist and ended up working in construction and vice-versa. So, students don’t see the direct correlation between education and income. The value of education provided by schools and universities has decreased, as well, as it has become easy to appear as someone else and thus “cheat” the system: lik…

  …urther transfection (cell-free synthesis systems may be used for it as well). Similarly, genetic material is obtained in pharmacology, but participants have to find a balance between the amount of plasmid and its purity. The second stage in actual industrial settings also takes place with the use of bacteria, but the task developers will suggest that participants …
