• An Electric Shepherd for Electric Sheep: ITMO Researchers Develop Manipulator for Singular Nanoparticles

  Laboratory analysis of singular nanoparticles usually calls for specialized, expensive equipment and a lot of time; now, a new manipulator by researchers from ITMO promises to solve that problem. The add-on fits onto any microscope, doesn’t require any in-depth optics knowledge, and is easy to use. In a few minutes, it picks out a particle from the greater mass and secures it under the lens in a specific spot. The device should prove useful in identifying medical issues at early stages, developing new materials for nanoengineering, and studying the unique properties of particles in fundamental physics.

• ITMO Researchers Propose Power Regulator for Optical Devices

  A revolutionary approach to managing the state of optical devices was proposed by a group of scientists from ITMO University and the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT). The researchers managed to control the devices’ power by varying the angle of incidence, thus allowing for more convenient regulation. Optical systems can now be turned on and off the same as lights or electric devices. The findings of the study, conducted within the program Klever, will pave the way for the production of elements for optoelectronic microdevices.
