• SCAMT Workshop Week: Implement Your Project and Enroll Into Master’s at ITMO Without Exams

  …ble for creating advanced cancer treatments. At ICBFM SB RAS, we work with aptamers – short oligonucleotides (DNA or RNA molecules – Ed.) that are capable of binding with a specific tumor molecule while carrying the boron isotope. ITMO scientists work with the same short oligonucleotides, developing DNA nanomachines that can solve simple logical operations and intera…

• Student Spotlight: Noviana Haslinda, Indonesia

  …Hello Noviana! Can you please tell us something about your country? Indonesia is a beautiful country located in Southeast Asia. It is surrounded by the Indian and Pacific oceans. As a result, the climate is very tropical. I had never ever witnessed snowfall in my country. So, when I came to St. Petersburg, it was quite a pleasant surprise for me. Also, Indonesia i…

• ITMO Scientists Develop Ultracompact Optical Switch

  …ains excitons – quasiparticles carrying excitation without transferring their charge – that are distributed in a certain way. If this structure is subjected to light with a specific phase front, then the excitons shift towards the edges or the center of the plasmonic nanoresonator. The switch of excitons between these two conditions corresponds to 1 and 0.  Accord…

• Bringing New Technologies Closer: ITMO PI Mikhail Petrov Talks Quantum Nanophotonics, Optical Levitation, and Research Management

  …ineering Micro objects can also be controlled by acoustic levitation, whereby soundwaves hit the objects. We are developing supporting artificial metastructures with a specific geometry that will be able to hold and move several particles at once. We believe that this approach will be useful for sorting cells or nanoparticles. See also: A Quiet Place…

• ITMO Scientists Suggest Novel Nanoparticle-Based Cancer Treatment

  … effect on the entire body. Another approach to cancer treatment and diagnostics involves highly specialized nanoparticles with limited applications – they are developed specifically for each diagnostics or treatment method. Moreover, these particles cannot be combined in the body at the same time, as this will be even more damaging for the patient. This means tha…
