ITMO Researchers Develop Simple Technology for Fabrication of Microfluidic Elements on Glass
…ments. In order to produce microfluidic chips, their basic elements have to be prepared first. All the existing methods (e-beam lithography, gray-scale lithography, and magnetic neutral loop discharge) are time-consuming, expensive, and not energy efficient. Moreover, if researchers need to change the geometry of a chip produced in one of these ways, they would n…

Explore the Universe or Deliver Memes: ITMO Fellow Alisa Chaikovskaya Talks Particle Physics
… My work is also partly connected to the Higgs boson. This particle has specific properties predicted by the Standard Model – a compendium of theories that describe electromagnetic, strong, and weak interactions of all elementary particles. However, the Standard Model doesn’t explain dark matter, dark energy, or gravity, which means that it is only applicable within…
