• ITMO Researchers Discover New Way to Amplify Exciton Current and Accelerate AI Computations

  Researchers from ITMO’s Faculty of Physics and their collaborators from POSTECH (South Korea) are the first to discover an effect that amplifies exciton current by 80 times. Additionally, the researchers have developed an electroplasmonic nanoresonator, a special structure used to control the exciton current at the nanoscale. In the future, it can lay the foundation for energy-efficient, fast, and compact exciton integrated circuits for data transfer and AI computations in addition to existing electron and optical circuits. The corresponding paper has been published in Nature Materials.

• Russia’s First Portable MRI Machine Developed at ITMO

  Researchers from ITMO University have built an experimental prototype of the nation’s first portable MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scanner that is five times cheaper to install and maintain than stationary devices. The machine employs a weak magnetic field and therefore requires no distinct equipment room, cooling system, nor high-energy supply – it can be plugged into a standard socket. It also uses a built-in AI system to ensure sufficient quality and remove noise in MRI images. The portable scanner will make examination more convenient for patients with limited mobility – and generally possible for patients with metal implants due to the use of a weak magnetic field.
