• Games for Lectures: Introducing IdenTrack, ITMO’s New Educational Platform

  IdenTrack is a new educational platform that helps students get into research, write scientific papers, present their ideas, and build their individual learning tracks. Unlike conventional online courses, the platform is structured like a game where students experience life-like situations guided by virtual mentors. By now, over 1,000 students have already taken courses on the platform – with over 80% of them completing their tracks. Read on to learn more about the platform and the minds behind it.

• Researchers Note Topological Effects in New Waveguide Metamaterial

  A novel waveguide-based metamaterial, suggested by physicists from ITMO University and their colleagues from University of Chile, has been shown to exhibit topological states. Upon contact with the edge of a sample, the light that passes through the lattice is nearly never distributed inside the structure, unlike in traditional waveguide gratings. The findings were published in Nano Letters.

• Researchers at ITMO Create More Durable Blue Perovskite Diodes for RGB Screens

  ITMO University scientists have found a new way of creating blue-emitting perovskite nanocrystals that makes them more stable, while their light doesn’t change to green overtime, unlike existing counterparts. Such light sources can serve as a platform for manufacturing of RGB displays for TVs and phones with a higher quality color rendering, which will also be cheaper than their analogs. The results of the project are described in a paper published in  ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.
