• ITMO Fellowship Stories: 'Science is Our Common Language'

  …rance, I could actually see and touch the real lasers. It was very important for my work on laser applications. In terms of quality of life, we all had a rose-colored impression that everything in France would be very fancy. But, for a long time, you have to live in a very frugal fashion and you have to work a lot if you want to live comfortably. Even though I’d s…

• ITMO Fellowship Stories: 'Interest In Research Is Primary, Success Is Secondary'

  …omputers have hard drives, which is an example of old spintronics technology developed in the 50s. Those contain mechanically moving parts that limit the speed of data transmission and compromise the reliability of the entire device. Nevertheless, hard drives still provide a very high density of data recording. Today, one aims to develop technologies that are free of…

• My Culinary Journey Through Russia

  …Russia, mayonnaise (or sour cream) is basically a staple for any salad or even soup. While the Olivier salad I knew and loved all my life was a lot more creamy, the Russian version is “chunkier”. All the ingredients - carrots, potatoes, eggs, pickles, and usually ham rather than chicken - are cut into identical cubes to match the size of the final ingredient: peas. T…

• ITMO Scientists Develop New “White” Near-Field Optical Microscope

  …iency of interaction between the localized field and the probe, a more intense light is needed to attain sufficient signal strength. What is more, only a small part of the emission reaches the object, and the rest is dispersed or absorbed, which can damage both the probe and the object. This is why in order to get information about an object with a subwavelength reso…

• New Opportunities: ITMO University Revamps Its Entrepreneurial Activities

  …anagement and Innovations is a somewhat new structure, founded in 2015. Yet, by that time, the entrepreneurship function had already been stated as part of the university’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 adde…

• ITMO Physicists Use Radiofrequency Trap to “Freeze” Nanocrystals

  …ons from laser light sources and re-emit them with more energy. At the same time, they borrow some of a nanocrystal’s kinetic energy, meaning that it decreases after each collision with a photon. “We find it hard to walk when wind is in our face, as it pushes us back. It’s the same kind of thing with nanocrystals, but with photons instead of air,” – explains Yur…

  … university and in close cooperation with companies. In developing new standards, the Federal State Educational Standards were also taken into account, as well as the professional standards and requirements which are applied to graduates by today’s industry. Key trends in the development of science, foresight data and international experience were also all taken i…

  …ies and approaches, as well as showcase some of the key concepts of Industry 4.0,” explains Semyon Mironov. The Russian students have already presented the project’s provisional at Hochschule Emden/Leer. The project’s final presentation is planned for May. Future prospects Students plan to further develop their project: according to Semyon Mironov, they ar…

• ITMO University Partners Up With TRA Robotics

  …ich it became clear that the organizations have many mutual interests in the field of robotics and cyber-physical systems.  The first project is now conducted under the supervision of Sergei Kolubin, Head of ITMO’s Department of Mechatronics, and has to do with designing an adaptive gripping device for robots, i.e. a new kind of equipment that integrates mechanics, e…

• Scientists Launched a New Method for Microscopy of Nanoobjects

  …and times smaller than a micron. It moves along the surface, and the probe-sample interaction force is registered point-by-point. Simultaneously, a computer forms a three-dimensional image of the surface and tracks the sample electromechanical properties. With conventional scanning methods, the probe is continuously in contact with the sample and, therefore, can caus…
