• Mining Hardware Helps Scientists Gain Insight into Silicon Nanoparticles

  …cles. They are efficient at localizing light, but weaken the signal, causing significant losses. However, dielectric and semiconducting materials, such as silicon, can be used instead of metal. Silicon nanoparticles are now actively studied by researchers all around the world, including those at ITMO University. The long-term goal of such studies is to create ultr…

• Dmitry Moscovich, CIO at Gazprom Transgaz Saint-Petersburg, on Introducing IT Systems at Enterprises

  …s, why risk changing it? Still, the work of business analysts is to know when the refusal to introduce a new system threatens facing even greater risks in the near future. For instance, in 2014 the first sanctions were imposed on Russia. At that time, our company used systems by Oracle and Microsoft, so we analyzed the risks and decided to develop a domestic platform…

• ITMO Students Develop VR Lecture Hall to Replace Onsite Education

  …just watch a video on the internet, but can perform actions that are essential for their training. In other words, this can act as a replacement of intramural education,” explains Roman Vakhrushev. The project’s unique feature is that it does not require expensive equipment - only a smartphone and cardboard VR headset. By the way, foreign counterparts (VR Class …

• Mapping the City: ITMO Students Launch New Urban Development Project

  … of a bigger study of the Petrogradsky District that we’ll be conducting over the next few months. This project will be conducted by first year Master’s students following the institute’s Urban Development and Urban Informatics programs; having gotten the theoretical knowledge during their previous semester, they’ll be now applying it to practice. Part of this stu…

• Science Communication at the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation

  …eived a scholarship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. Please, tell us a bit more about the scholarship. The program lasts for about a year. The stay in Germany begins with an obligatory two-month intensive German language course, a four-week introductory seminar and eleven months of individual project work. My project had to do with the practical aspe…

• ITMO-Developed Nanoparticle Technology Helps Stop Internal Bleeding

  …veloping drugs that can be applied using a simple injection. The main issue with such drugs is that the remedy has to initiate clot formation only at the site of vessel damage instead of affecting the entire vascular system. In a new study, scientists from ITMO University suggested using magnet-driven nanoparticles to solve this problem. The particles consist of t…
