• Study Reveals The Great Pyramid of Giza Can Focus Electromagnetic Energy

  … and legends, we have little scientifically reliable information about their physical properties. As it turns out, sometimes this information proves to be more fascinating than any fiction. This idea found confirmation in a new joint study undertaken by scientists from ITMO University and the Laser Zentrum Hannover. The physicists took an interest in how the Great Py…

• Interning in New York, Working in Berlin: ITMO Graduate Victoria Gorelkina On Her International Experience

  …ood as I hadn’t studied it before. It wasn’t easy to get around without knowing German: Wismar is a small town, English is not widely spoken, and all the paperwork and official interactions are carried out in German.

• Physicists Design New Nanoresonators With Giant Nonlinear Response

  …This transformation can be carried out effectively by macroscopic devices, but it is a challenge to achieve the frequency conversion at the nanoscale. The reason is that the interaction of nanoparticles with light is quite special because of their very small size. Therefore, in order to increase efficiency of the frequency conversion of light at the nanoscale, it …
