• ITMO Researchers Develop Special Ink For Anti-Counterfeiting Protection

  …ight at a different wavelength,” explains the researcher. The scientists plan to continue experimenting with the ink formula so that they can adjust it to the needs of specific industries. By changing the formula, the ink can be made better in terms of thermal resistance (this can be of use to the manufacturers of electronics and equipment), or in terms of plast…

  … that accelerate and direct reactions, but don’t actually participate in them. The combination of a catalyst’s physical, geometrical, and chemical properties makes it stereospecific: by using that particular substance, we’ll end up with an almost completely pure batch of just one “mirror twin.”   If we already have catalysts, why do we need organocatalysis? …

• ITMO Student Designs an Active Exoskeleton to Lift Weight

  …t with a two-component plastic reinforced with carbon fiber. How does the exoskeleton work? When a person lifts their arm or leg, resistive pressure sensors placed in specific places are activated. That’s how the speed and direction of movement are determined. The skeleton doesn’t resist your movements – it moves its drive units in the direction spe
