• Social Media: Does It Change Us? Here’s What Science Thinks

  …edia is now barely more than 20 years old.  However, social networks finally got big in the 00’s, with Facebook (2004), VK (2006), and Twitter (2006) followed by Pinterest and Instagram in 2010. Thus it can be said that the true, “active” age of social media is approximately 13 years. Despite being so new, social networks have won the hearts of nearly half the wor…

• ITMO Begins Research on Carbon Nanodot Synthesis Methods

  …. It will be necessary to develop the scientific basis of methods and approaches that would let researchers manipulate the optical properties of these fascinating objects. For instance, if some task requires luminescence in the red area of the spectre, scientists would know just what physical modifications must be made to a carbon quantum dot to achieve the right eff…

• ITMO Fellowship Stories: 'Science is Our Common Language'

  …. Credit: Koji Sugioka, degruyter.com Some of the applications include laser-based waveguides and nanostructures, while others have to do with creating laser-assisted image inscription that are only visible under a particular irradiation. The former are for novel technologies in photonics and telecommunications, whereas the latter can be even used to combat counte…
