• International Team of Scientists Discover New Phenomenon in Topological Physics

  …ng a study on the physics of the Quantum Hall effect, when electricity was passed through a sample and voltage that took quantized values emerged perpendicularly to the current’s direction. Then it turned out that the quantization takes place despite any impurities or defects of a sample. Later, it was proved that this is how the topological nature of the Quantum Hal…

• Machine Rights: Can an AI Create And How Should Its Creations Be Protected?

  …need to show their emotions and thoughts, thus they use various tools to express themselves. A computer doesn’t experience this need and is a tool in itself: it presents automated functions for any creative task. It allows you to create different musical arrangements, models movie scenes, combines colors. A machine is capable of doing it better because of the sheer a…

• Physicists Trap Light in Nanoresonators for Record Time

  …as a sharp, but not critical effect on how long they trap light. This is important because it will not be possible to achieve a precision of up to one-two nanometers during mass production of such resonators. There will always be a five-ten nanometers error which, as the experimental results show, is not critical. “We’ve opened a completely new chapter of physic…

• Pharmacological Constructor: Scientists Propose Method for Synthesising Calcium Carbonate Particles with Different Geometry for Targeted Drug Delivery

  …ogy, no one has systematically studied the mechanisms of crystallization of calcium carbonate particles, the process of growth of particles of various morphology, as well as the connection between the morphology of particles and the crystalline phase of calcium carbonate. In order to solve this problem, an international group of scientists from ITMO University…

• Geek Teachers: ITMO University Graduate’s Project for Training School Teachers in New Technologies

  …ge is a gigantic, unwieldy mechanism that has no prospect of a root-and-branch change in the following years. In my opinion, we can influence the world of education through pinpoint actions. A good example is the massive amounts of paperwork that schools teachers face on a daily basis, which could be minimized by the use of special apps for organizing tests and exams…
