• What a Twist: Silicon Nanoantennas Turned Light Around

  …challenges that requires "advanced" light control is the creation of optical computers. In these devices, the information is carried not by electrons, but photons. Using light instead of charged particles has potential to improve the speed of transmitting and processing information by an order of magnitude. To make such computational devices real, one needs specific …

• WorldUsabilityDay@ITMO: Not Every Trend Has to Be Followed Blindly

  …ndly, presented by IT giants such as Google and Apple," noted Ivan Burmistrov, an employee at the Russian-Estonian company InterUX. "Sometimes a new thing is not so useful but instead has been advertised very well. That is why skilled developers create an interface by taking into account needs of users or clients and also combine various methods." Usability issues …

  …ardware. In smartphones, what's important to you is not cameras or g-meters, but the apps you download. Another example is the modern concepts in car manufacturing, Tesla, for instance. You had your plain car and then it becomes partially autonomous — just because you've paid for new software. You didn't have to replace the sensors or go to the service for that. C…

• Processing Dostoevsky — Scientists Use Optics for Studying Manuscripts

  …ot every method is good for such complex analysis. Cutting a piece of the manuscript and analyzing it was not an option — we couldn't even light the pages too much or press against them to get a better image, as they are really fragile. Though spectral analysis is widely used for assessing the condition of paintings, we had to develop a special technique for this par…

  …ansformations of the world. And it is not only about politics. Today, technologies change the present completely. It is wonderful to be a part of this process. Teaching youth inspires me to contribute to the science. I don’t use the word "students" because they are our partners. Generally, I want young scientists to win Nobel Prizes, stay in Russia and respect scien…

  …door to the feeder is opened, the hungry animals try to get there as quickly as they can. They amass at the entrance and thrust at the door — but this doesn't help them to get inside faster. Actually, it's all the opposite: their actions create jams. When some of the sheep slip inside, their "crowd" starts to move faster, but only for a…
