• Something of a Scientist Myself: Using Memes to Promote Science?

  Just like anyone these days, we can’t resist a good meme: they are funny, concise, and can often say more than a thousand words. But what are they really? And can their power be harnessed for good – for instance, in science communication? We turned to Tatiana Melenteva, the chief editor at ITMO’s Center for Science Communication, for answers. Here’s what we found out!

• Physicists From ITMO Generate Single Photons For Secure Information Encryption

  Researchers at ITMO University have studied the formation of single-photon emitters, which are key components of quantum communication and computation devices. With these, it will be possible to encrypt data in a way that would make it impossible to intercept. The study was described in an article published in Nature Communications.

• ITMO Physicists Suggest Method for Mass Production of Metal-Organic Frameworks for Gas Sensors

  The detection of harmful gasses during production is made possible with gas sensors. A promising method of manufacturing these devices involves 2D metal-organic frameworks (2D MOFs). These are special porous hybrid materials with features that make them excellent sensors. Scientists from ITMO University have suggested a new production method that would result in 2D MOFs of record length and thinness – not only in lab conditions, but on industrial scale, too.
