• From Laser to Market: Optics Conference Continues

  …t implementing new ideas, and after coming a long way, we have solved a host of issues and have proved the possibility of effectively implementing a secure information transmission using existing telecommunication lines. This is important because its practical implementation has to be attached to real infrastructure and current challenges" explained Mr. Gleim. The …

  …weekly medical data," said Mr. Leonenko. The experts of the Research Institute of Influenza mention that it is necessary to call for a doctor right after symptoms' expression in order to receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor at the very beginning. As for medical drugs, first of all the experts insist that homeopathic medicine is ineffective. One m…

• The Wonder Material Destined to Change the World

  … very little about this discovery. This revolutionary material can turn sunlight light into electricity and after substantial research over the last few years, the power conversion efficiency of perovskites is already comparable to semiconductors in the low-20% range. The efficiency of perovskites are improving rapidly, and this is in part due to the flexibility of t…

• Five Tech News that Make World Better

  …Fewer refrigerants = healthier planet. Under the historic ozone treaty, the use of heat trapping hydrofluorocarbons will be sharply cut and could reduce the projected emissions by 88% over the 21st century. Smart cities = better traffic. US company Sidewalk Labs will help mid-size cities get "smart" ready with Flow transportation platform that helps traffic data i…

• How an American Ended Up Teaching at ITMO University

  …in St. Petersburg makes me feel at home." Until you move to another country and really immerse yourself in the language and culture, you can’t really form an accurate impression of a place or its people, beyond hearsay. So we asked Joshua, whether he thinks people have an accurate impression of Russia in the U.S. He says, "No, someti…

• A Solar Lab: What Mysteries are Hidden in the Sun?

  …surface of the Sun. We cannot look at processes under the surface but we know how to model those using geological approaches. While looking for mineral deposits they fire explosions and detect sound waves' speed. Going through layers with different density rates the waves change their speed. Having analyzed these changes geologists develop underground deposit maps. T…

  …ill be able to record it correctly or update fast enough. To straighten things out, we can send a particular hash-tag to a particular server. This way, there will be less confusion. And that's some solution. Still, servers must be maintained; also, this solution is no good at adapting to related tasks — like making statistics by countries or adding data from other so…

• A Glimpse of the Future: Open Day at the School of Computer Technologies and Controls

  …— the hoverboard from the "Back to the Future" movie. Still, many other technologies came into being — auto-piloted cars, artificial intelligence, total uberization. New professions replace old ones, and now it’s clear that the future belongs to specialists in IT, robotics and information science that will be sought-after in almost every economic sector. The School o…

• Researchers Find Way to Enhance Photon Entanglement

  …Entangled photons are frequently used in quantum data transmission, quantum teleportation and are considered to be instrumental to the rise of optical computing. Quantum entanglement occurs when entangled particles are united by a single quantum state and therefore retain correlation at distance. For example, by measuring the state of one entangled photon, scientists…
