  …sks and increase the development speed, thus decreasing the probability of a project's failure. How does it work? Agile approaches relieve many risks thanks to a more active interaction between team members and customers. Two-week development intervals — the so-called "sprints" - make creating a product a lot easier, as it can be frequently reworked based on feedb…

• New Material Makes it Possible to Record Data with Light

  …of materials called metal-organic frameworks. Metal-organic frameworks (MOF) synthesized at ITMO University, have a layered structure. Between the layers, there is a physical attraction called van der Waals force. To prevent the plates from uncontrollably coming together, the interlayer space is filled with an organic liquid, which fixes the framework to be three-…
