• ITMO Researchers Solve Key Issue for Compact Particle Accelerators

  Physicists at ITMO University have become the first to explain the nature of the skewed wake effect in particle accelerators. Their analytical theory shows how a tilt of a flat particle beam causes a reverse rotation of its electromagnetic field. The effect leads to unstable behavior of particles in next-gen compact accelerators and large colliders. The discovery could help predict the behavior of asymmetrical beams and make associated experiments safer and more efficient. The study was published in Physical Review Accelerators and Beams.

• ITMO’s New AI Model Analyzes Papers 90 Times Faster

  Researchers from ITMO University and Lomonosov Moscow State University have rolled out NanoMINER – a multi-agent system that automatically extracts and processes data from scientific papers on nanomaterials and nanozymes. The algorithm analyzes each text in one minute, whereas doing it manually takes an average of 90 minutes. NanoMINER shows an impressive accuracy rate of up to 98% and can accelerate research in materials science, bionanotechnologies, and other fields. The results of the study are published in npj Computational Materials.

• New Type of Axion Response Predicted by ITMO Scientists

  Physicists at ITMO University have found a new type of an electromagnetic response in a medium. The newly discovered phenomenon has been dubbed a dual axion response and is different from the usual axion response, which has been a common research subject in photonics and condensed matter physics lately. The discovery casts a fresh perspective on previous experimental data and lays the foundation for a new field of study. The research is supported by the Russian Science Foundation and published in Nature Communications.

• ITMO Researchers Create Next-Gen Light-Emitting Components for Displays

  Researchers from ITMO University and the Pohang University of Science and Technology (POSTECH) in South Korea have merged a metasurface and a 2D semiconductor to produce a next-gen light-emitting element that is 1,600 times brighter than a semiconductor surface and even more durable and thinner than same-brightness analogs. The new material will pave the way for ultra-thin screens and other optical devices. The resulting paper was published in Light: Science & Applications.

• Newest From ITMO: Software To Facilitate Regenerative Medicine Materials Development

  ITMO scientists have come up with software that helps automatically analyze cell structure in a substance’s image: it detects the borders of each cell and its nucleus in the image and then identifies the patterns in its shape, area, location, and other features. The resulting data can be used to quickly and more efficiently model materials for regenerative medicine, such as implants and healing band-aids. The results of the study have been published in Advanced Intelligent Discovery.

• ITMO Physicists Propose a New Method for Studying Ultrafast Magnetization Oscillations

  Researchers from ITMO University, along with Nobel laureate Frank Wilczek, have suggested using low-frequency signals to study ultrafast magnetization oscillations in magnetic materials. The technology makes it possible to examine processes that are difficult to observe via other methods. The results of the study, supported by and ITMO’s 2030 Development Strategy and the Russian Science Foundation, were published in Physical Review Letters.

• ITMO Scientists Study Gradient Structures in Cobalt Solution Sediments

  ITMO scientists have explained how gradient structures of cobalt compounds form when Liesegang rings emerge in agar gel. The researchers registered six stages of precipitation with various properties. In the future, this approach can make it possible to quickly and cheaply create new materials with target properties. Those can be used as substrates for cells in electrochemical devices, thermal sensors, and antimicrobial coating. The study was first presented at the exhibition of research projects at ITMO’s 14th Congress of Young Scientists.
