• ITMO Researchers Discover New Acoustic Force for More Accurate Shape-Based Sorting of Cells

  Scientists at ITMO University have found a new lateral recoil force that affects non-spherical particles in an acoustic field. The new force will make it easier to extract cells of a certain shape from blood or other liquids – such as elongated platelets or spherical leukocytes – which will be useful for developing new, more accurate, and affordable methods for diagnosing various diseases. The findings were reported in Physical Review Applied and highlighted in Physics Magazine.

• Highly Efficient & Eco-Friendly Sorbent for Wastewater Treatment Developed at ITMO University

  Researchers from ITMO University developed an affordable hybrid sorbent that efficiently removes ions of cobalt and lead from water, making it safe for both people and the environment. Unlike its analogs, the developed sorbent copes with pollution in high-acidity and -temperature water and can be regenerated and used again for up to three times after first use. The findings of the study were reported in Chemical Engineering Journal.
