• Prototype Offers High Hopes for High-Efficiency Solar Cells

  …Scientists in Russia say their technology could theoretically double the efficiency of silicon solar cells. The latest development in that effort comes from researchers in St. Petersburg, Russia. The group recently created a tiny prototype of a high-efficiency solar cell using gallium phosphide and nitrogen. If successful, the cells could nearly double today’s effici…

• Scientists develop method to make radio-controlled enzymes

  …Scientists from ITMO University’s SCAMT laboratory developed a method to enhance the activity of enzymes by using radio frequency radiation. The method requires making a special complex consisting of enzymes and magnetic nanoparticles. The particles can adsorb radio emission and convert it to heat, resulting in enzymatic processes acceleration by more than four times…

• Physicists suggest new way to measure speed in liquid micro-flows

  …Scientists from ITMO University developed a novel optical method of measuring reagent delivery rates for "labs on a chip." The method is based on a dynamic interaction between a nanoantenna and luminescent molecules as the distance between them affects light intensity. Processed mathematically, these light dynamics determine the flow speed. This method can also be us…
