• Programmer Alexander Mordvintsev on Working at Google, Curiosity and Future of Programming

  …ld of artificial neural networks. All that I’d known before had to do with the discoveries made by researchers in the ‘80s, but their hopes did not come true. And here I was astonished by how well it worked, much better than I expected. I felt an urge to understand these processes, and started conducting experiments. Richard Feynman once said: “What I cannot build, I…

• Scientists Develop World’s First Photonic Quadrupolar Topological Insulator

  …hanks to that, electricity can flow unidirectionally without outages and losses. In the last decade, researchers started to develop ideas on how to create such states in photonics, as well. In order to increase the range of electrical topological insulators, scientists replace electrons with photons – quanta of electromagnetic radiation. For this purpose, they cre…

• ITMO University Researchers Showcase Potential of Perovskite-Based Solar Cells

  …Halide perovskite is a relatively new material in nanophotonics, and was first used in solar cells around a decade ago. In its structure, this artificial material is identical to natural perovskite, discovered in the Ural Mountains in the 19th century and named after Lev Perovski, a Russian Home Affairs Minister and an avid mineral collector. Despite the fact that…
