• 13th Baltic Science and Engineering Competition: From Small Discoveries to Great Accomplishments

  …r participantshe ordered details like solar and lithium polymer batteries online. "The prototype provides comfortable conditions for people inside. For instance, it has a container for soil sampling, which is appropriate for growing potatoes. The system is also equipped with sensors for analyzing radiation background and atmosphere composition. By the way, the real…

• 5 Things You Need to Know Now

  …ser" is 10 times more powerful than existing lasers, Photonics Online reports. Their so-called "high peak power laser" has a 1,000-watt average power output, a benchmark of sustained, high-energy pulses. Safer, more efficient uranium extraction. The separation of uranium, a key part of the nuclear fuel cycle, could potentially be done more safely and efficiently t…

• Creating Quartz-Based Nanocomposites: ITMO’s New International Collaboration

  …ms that consist of micro-devices with different functions. To create such structures, the scientists plan to use femtosecond lasers. Different modes of operation allow to obtain nanostructures with different physical properties (you can read a more detailed article on femtosecond lasers here). Thanks to that, these structures can be combined with different substan…

• Available THz: An Article by ITMO’s Researchers Is on the Cover of the Magazine Laser&Photonics Reviews

  …ty to shorten the process of relaxation. One can also use two continuous laser waves that have different frequencies, both in THz band. Yet, even that can be insufficient to attain the necessary power levels. "To generate THz radiation, we use semiconductors with minimal lifetime of charge carriers. But to increase efficiency of converting optical radiation into TH…

  …t it is used only during compiling and can be lost during running. Haskell never "looses" data types. Furthermore its functions have no "side-effects" - it means that using certain inputs these functions always produce the same result. About development In simple words, when you code you have something that users see, it is called front-end, and the "base," which i…

  …ed in dilute acid solutions, as well as react with other chemical substances. Chemists often call chitosan a constructor that can be used for creating different polymers. To obtain pure chitin, protein, calcium and other minerals are diluted and extracted from organic compounds that contain it. "We use crustaceans, fungi and insects t…

  …ferometry to track dynamic changes in the painting. Thus, we can see what happens to paintings during different changes in the environment. This shows us the importance of maintaining certain conditions. Surely, that's not only about temperature and humidity. Chemical compounds in pigments can react with different agents in the air. So…

  …n board a plane may stop being dangerous as scientists have a new plan for squelching the fires caused by lithium-ion batteries. They created a "smart" sheet of tiny fibers containing flame retardant, which could be inserted between a battery’s electrodes, Science News reports. WTF? Apparently swearing and honesty are connected. An international team of researcher…
