  • ITMO Researchers Propose Technology For More Efficient Detection of Hazardous Gas Leaks in Production

    Scientists from ITMO University have designed a way to increase the sensitivity of gas detectors, traditionally used in the gas and oil industry to prevent gas leaks. The answer may be a novel, laser-based technology that modifies chalcogenide films that make up the core of gas detection systems.

  • ITMO Scientists Create Improved Optical Module for AR Devices

    Researchers from ITMO have used volume holography to develop an optical module that is resistant to chemical damage, physical impact, and extreme temperatures. This module, called a combiner, can be used to create industrial-purpose AR glasses or to project interfaces directly onto the windshields of cars and airplanes. Unlike its counterparts, the device is single-layered, which makes it lighter and prevents glare. The project is supported by the Priority 2030 program.

  • ITMO Fellowship Stories: Physicist Ksenia Chichay on Spintronics, Data-Related Advances, and Academic Career

    Back in 2008, a team of IBM (International Business Machines Corporation) scientists demonstrated the first racetrack memory device, which was meant to be as fast as RAM and as affordable as hard drives yet more capacious and less energy-demanding than the two. Since then, multiple researchers have worked on the technology, including specialists from ITMO University. In this article, Ksenia Chichay, a physicist and a laureate of the ITMO Fellowship program, explains how such studies are organized, what spintronics is, and how it can help researchers boost data recording, storage, and transmission.

  • ITMO Student and Cardiologist Finds Way To Prevent Medical Errors

    With 10 years of experience in working at public clinics, cardiologist Lyubov Malyugina wishes to share her experience with others. But the path she chose to do that cannot be called conventional: the specialist decided to pursue her Master’s at ITMO and create her own product – a recommendation system that can help doctors prescribe medications to arrhythmia patients and reduce errors in a clinical setting. In her interview with ITMO.NEWS, Lyubov shares why she chose ITMO and how she plans to promote her idea.

  • Researchers Suggest New Way To Boost Perovskite Solar Cell Performance

    Scientists at ITMO University and their colleagues from the St. Petersburg Academic University and University of Tor Vergata (Italy) have developed high-performance perovskite solar cells. The improvement is thanks to the use of semiconductors based on wire-like nanocrystals. The technology is said to offer up new prospects for the production of next-gen solar power stations and optical devices. The results of the study were published in ACS Applied Energy Materials.
