• IEEE Award Winner Slobozhanyuk: “There Are No Stupid Questions in Science”

  …for quite a while. I think the jury liked my project because it shows how we can, in theory, create compact optical waveguides using topological photonics without loss or signal reflection. Few could do this; few even knew about this. Meanwhile, we have already done experiments and showed how two-dimensional topological insulators can work when they protect electroma…

• ITMO & Australian Scientists Contribute to Latest Nanophotonics Review

  …increasing the light's intensity one can irreversibly change a material's properties in a particular area, which is widely used in information recording, for instance. Yet, the diffraction limit narrows down the efficiency of recording information with a focused laser beam, and the way to further increase the recording density is to apply the beam to surfaces with na…
