Art, Death & Robots: Meet the Winners of Russia’s First Award for Young Science Artists
…ce of making bootleg vinyls (known as “ribs” or “bones”) from X-ray films. Such records could only be played about eight times before becoming too damaged for further use. To solve this, the artist used photoconductive properties of the film to get musical information by shining a light through the material. Thus, the sound is literally made from light. As a rewa…

Natural Waste to Slow Down Climate Change: ITMO Fellow Randa Ghonim on Cleaning Oil Spills With Green Technologies
…pproaches to cleaning up oil spills, including mechanical, chemical, physicochemical, biological, and others. We believe that it’s important to use simplified green methods to solve this problem. So we suggest using agricultural waste material, such as rice straw, waste paper, and tree leaves, to treat oil spills. There are several advantages to such materials. First…

ITMO Launches New Biotech Master’s Track With Geropharm
…on, language testing certificates). Points were also given for work experience at laboratories as part of research groups or as interns. In addition, the applicants were to solve three cases and demonstrate their ability to analyze bioengineering tasks and complete them. One such task involved devising a way of removing an admixture from adenoassociated viruses (u…

FoodTech Trends Every Startup Creator Should Know
…l farming increases greenhouse gas emissions and puts a strain on ecosystems – raising livestock requires a great deal of area, water, and electricity. The problem could be solved by extracting protein directly from the plants that these animals consume: soy, peas, sunflower, and many others. Another type of alternative protein is lab-grown meat. Plant-based prote…

PhD Student Ida Kublanova: Why Photonics Is Like a Unicorn
…is field. My school specialized in math and physics, and during physics classes I particularly enjoyed working with glass that shone like the rainbow. I was also quite good at solving optics-related problems. My hope was that a career in optics would be not only useful, but also beautiful. Besides, photonics sounds very mysterious, it’s almost like a unicorn. It’…
