Solar Panel of the New Generation by ITMO PhD Student
…silicon. For instance, a silicon layer size of 180 micron absorbs the same amount of light as a perovskite size of 1 micron. The researchers of a new lab at ITMO are going to study this promising material. Solar panels credit:depositphotos.com To develop conductive contacts for perovskite solar panels one uses pulsed laser deposition or laser ablation. It…

From Lagos to St. Petersburg
…ies, majority of which Jayjay has visited. Lagos is an overpopulated city with over 18 million and is the commercial city of West Africa. Six years ago when Jayjay came to study Networking & Information Technology at St. Petersburg State University of telecommunications, he was part of a small group of five international students trying to make their way through s…

Science Through the Eyes of a Child: What Makes Biology Interesting
…Yulia, can you share a bit more about your scientific research. How did it start? My project is devoted to the study of oyster mushrooms and the conditions for their growth and development. My biology teacher last year suggested this research topic. Actually there were two topics, one about caries and the second on the study of mushr…

Holography Helped to Quickly Learn the Number of Particles in Volume
…Typically, holography is associated with three-dimensional images of museum relics, souvenirs, marking products and protective signs. But it is also used in industry for studying the topography of surfaces and deformations in products. As part of a new project, scientists from ITMO University Tatiana Vovk and Nikolay Petrov developed a method for express analyzing…

Fight Diseases at the Nanolevel: How ITMO’s New Lab Works on Targeted Drug Delivery
…synthesis of separate components to animal testing. We have been working on quantum dots and the hybrid system based on them for ten years. Also for the last two years we are studying how magnetic nanoparticles interact with quantum dots and molecules. We understand that development of an effective and safe nanosystem requires not only cell culture assay, but also in…

VI Congress of Young Scientists: Students Share Their Stories
…cial focus, it is totally free, so just anyone will be able to use it. As for me, I am comfortable working here. Kirill Nujdin, ITMO University My colleagues and I study different diffraction phenomena, for instance, frictions between different materials and elements. For our research, we use different mechanisms from robotic and mechatronic systems. Ki…

ITMO’s Master’s Student Does Internship at Eindhoven University of Technology
…The internship’s goal was to study the theoretical approaches to modeling real chemical systems that are used in industry and medicine, focusing on modeling methane to methanol oxidation processes in porous zeolite structures using VASP (Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package). VASP is intended for modeling periodical structures. Using this approach prior to an experime…

Art&Science Expert: "Aesthetic Sensibility Depends on Physiological Stimuli"
… schizophrenia, dementia, dyslexia and other similar pathologies; hence, research on how it works from a scientific point of view is relevant. What were the first steps to studying the physiology of art appreciation? The classical experiments on understanding the process of perceiving images were conducted by Russian scientist Alfred L. Yarbus in the 1950s. Eve…

Gutenberg's Lounge: Why Stonehenge is an Observatory, How Satellites Stay on the Orbit and Where One Starts His Way to Mars
…at ITMO University: space exploration in ancient times "All ancient nations had sun symbols, as well as symbols for the moon and stars. The first calendars were based on studying the sky, and were carved on walls, bronze mirrors and even mammoth tusks. People spent years on making the necessary observations. What's more, celestial bodies also helped people orien…
