ITMO Scientists Develop New “White” Near-Field Optical Microscope
…nostructures in the whole visible spectrum at the same time. This increases the efficiency and speed of microscopy by several times. How it works To create the nanobulb, scientists from the Department of Nanophotonics and Metamaterials printed a silicon-and-gold nanoparticle. To make it emit light, i.e. emit photons, it is lit with a femtosecond IR laser. Thank…

New Opportunities: ITMO University Revamps Its Entrepreneurial Activities
…ersity’s mission. What did it imply at that time? If we're talking about the functions of a university, historically they've always been places of education; then, a strong scientific component was added to their role, and, lastly, they got the entrepreneurial function. The latter implies that universities act as a source of new knowledge and provide for its in…

ITMO Physicists Use Radiofrequency Trap to “Freeze” Nanocrystals
…e same kind of thing with nanocrystals, but with photons instead of air,” – explains Yurii Rozhdestvensky, professor at ITMO’s Department of Optical Physics and Modern Natural Science, - “If a nanocrystal is bombarded with photons, it loses all of its kinetic energy and stops. This process is what we call optical cooling”. The scie
