• Song of the Month: June 2021

  … songs. The tunes are so fresh and thoroughly made, bet if you didn’t know what the lyrics are about they could be a great party sound. A good example is FaceTime With My Mom (Tonight), which is also quite relatable every time a call with my relatives takes place. Marina Nothing says summer like upbeat and catchy tunes, especially the ones you happen to cat…

• Cutting Perovskite: Scientists Succeed in Shaping Microscopic Monocrystals Without Loss of Quality

  …80s, more complex perovskites started to see use in high-temperature superconductors. But in the early 21st century, they were “rediscovered” as a valuable raw material for photonics. The so-called halide perovskites hold great potential for use in optical systems. Lasers made using these materials can produce extremely spectrally narrow and bright light. Perovski…

• First-Ever “Quantum Call” Between Moscow and St. Petersburg Conducted

  … protection. The security of the data is ensured by the principles of quantum physics. Quantum communications are a new high tech field that exists at the interaction of photonics (the use of optical signals and development of devices based on them) and quantum technologies. The pilot stretch of the quantum network Moscow-St. Petersburg is the first part of Quantu…

• ITMO Graduates on Their Research in Digital Humanities

  … happened that my Master’s thesis is basically a digital version of my Bachelor’s thesis. When I was studying philology at St. Petersburg State University, I was researching Estonian Gulag literature – a genre that describes an author’s experience of being a prisoner in a Gulag camp. Now, at ITMO University, I decided to create a digital storytelling project out of i…
