ITMO Scientists Develop Elastic Robots to Treat Thrombosis
…material was heated to 58°C, the melting point of the temperature-responsive polymer located inside the elastomeric matrix with ferromagnetic particles. This made the polymer viscous, allowing the particles to freely move inside the matrix. Then, the heated composite material was placed inside the magnetic field, so that it interacted with the fields of particles, re…

ITMO.Mentors: How Students Benefit from Teaching Practice
…ignment and assess the electrical properties of a laser. Instead of just telling them about the dependencies they were to learn about in the course of this assignment, we “re-discovered” them together. I feel like this approach helped them learn it better than if I’d just read it out to them. Perhaps that’s what the expert jury picked up on. Benefits of the progra…
