• ITMO Launches the Open Academy of Laser Microtechnology

  Last Friday, the new laboratory center “Laser Micro- and Nanotechnologies and Systems” opened at the Department of Laser Systems and Technologies. Creating diffraction grids by using microplasma, using lasers to place tags on metal surfaces and creating functional relief surfaces - these are only some of the opportunities the laboratories offer. The laboratory's founders shared about why creating a laboratory that will always be in step with the times is so difficult, and how they succeeded in organizing one.

• Visiting Scientist Silvio Hrabar: Why It’s Important to Find New Uses for Old Discoveries

  Being a scientist doesn’t just mean going to work – it means enjoying one’s work and turning it into a lifestyle, says Silvio Hrabar, ITMO University’s visiting scientist from University of Zagreb. He is conducting research into so-called “active” metamaterials which could provide a method of removing the physical limits of metamaterials. After all, these limits are the main reason why it’s so difficult to find an application for this technology. In an interview with ITMO.NEWS, Silvio Hrabar shared his thoughts on how this could be achieved, what should inspire a scientist and what are the advantages of bringing together physicists and mathematicians to study metamaterials.
