• The Future of Hard Drives: Hot Bits and Laser Recordings

  …trong claim that something is impossible, a lot of people strive to prove it wrong,” laughs Alexandra. “That is exactly what we are trying to do.”  The problem can be solved with ultrashort femtosecond laser impulses. That’s a million times faster than in a normal HAMR which works at the speed of nanoseconds. A number of experiments demonstrated that magneti…

• How To Teach a Computer To Interpret Text

  … computer defeated grandmaster Garry Kasparov in a game of chess. In 2016, two inventors – Jay Flatland and Paul Rose – have published a video in which you can see their robot solve a Rubik’s cube in under one second. Back then, the best result achieved by a person was almost five seconds. Today, computers are even able to write lyrics and compose music. In early …

• Picture of the Week: Perovskite Crystals in Textile

  …in a specific way at a given temperature. Then, the solution is applied to polyester fiber (in this case, a white one). After that, the sample is heated so as to eliminate the solvent. As soon as the solvent evaporates, the crystals start to grow rapidly; this process ends in 2-3 hours and can be sped up if the textile is put in vacuum.…

• Picture of the Week: Hollow Copper Nanocapsule

  …ed copper  accumulates on the particles. The reaction’s speed and intensity is controlled by adding organic polyethylenimine molecules to the solution. As a result, gallium dissolves almost entirely, and the copper deoxidized on the liquid metal’s surface forms a hollow capsule. Capsules such as this can be used in bimetallic catalysis, optics, and for drug encapsula…

• ITMO’s Professor Maya Uspenskaya on Treatment of Diseases that Cause Heart Failure

  … in heart tissues. There is no data on causes and mechanisms behind this process and, therefore, no information on drugs to treat such patients. Will your research help solve this problem? Our research will allow us to use new approaches to the development of drugs that suppress amyloidogenesis based on in silico docking in the structures of amyloid targets…

• ITMO in Top-Three of Potanin Foundation Scholarship Contest

  …e tasks in the contest weren’t that hard, but they took up the whole day. However, it was rather fun. There was a maths game – I came out a leader in it. We were then asked to solve global social tasks, such as the problem of parking in cities. We had to quickly come up with a creative solution that wouldn’t be repeating any others. The third task was writing an ode,…
