• New Optical Biosensor Can Diagnose Infections in Few Seconds

  …assengers. Currently, this is partially achieved by thermographic cameras that track body temperature. If a passenger has a fever, one might be dealing with a potential source of infection. In this case, a clarifying analysis is needed that will tell whether the person is indeed sick and what the cause might be. Investigating biomaterial with existing methods, such a…

  …ribing the properties and phases of superconductors and superfluid. Superfluidity is a substance's ability in quantum fluid state to seep through narrow ducts and crevices with no friction in conditions close to absolute zero. Earlier, superfluidity was found only in liquid helium, then in solid-state helium that originates in conditions of extremely low temperatures…

• Web Standard days: a Quick Guide for Future Web-Developers

  …on As a rule, there are more workers than engineers in any industry. IT is the same: about 10% of people in the field know complex instrumentation like high-level mathematical abstractions, and the remaining 90% are standard developers. Therefore, there are not many tasks that call for advanced knowledge. Also, as soon as a new engineering task is solved, it automa…

• Russia’s «First Non-Classical» Welcomes: an Open Day at ITMO’s School of Internet Technologies and Programming

  …programmers are no longer those grim geniuses that spend sleepless nights writing the code, and information communication technologies are now used for much more than just service functions. «For a really long time, information technologies served other sciences and applications areas: let's say, someone sold watermelons and kept his books on paper, then decided to…

  …ommercialization of his development: there were no high-quality flexible electronic elements. Currently large corporations present flexible phones and TV screens, but their mass production has not been launched yet. Moreover, the users' feedback is also yet to be received. One can realize that if one constantly bends flexible electronic elements they can be broken. …

  …projects was a high-accuracy fiber-optic gyroscope based on the so-called Sagnac effect. If one takes a closed fiber optic circuit and splits a beam, leading it into two opposite directions, the resulting beams will meet halfway through. Yet, if the circuit is rotating, the beam that goes in the direction opposite to the rotation will p…

  …e the results. «Activating the device is much easier than the preparing biomaterial for sequencing. We study genes using the „target-enrichment“ strategy, which requires the construction of genomic libraries. Sometimes, to develop the necessary libraries a single specialist has to work for up to two weeks,» shares the expert. While doing the research Russian rese…
