• First Russian Wireless Charging Technology for IoT and Smart Homes Developed at ITMO

  …sensors can be charged wirelessly,” notes Eugene Koreshin, a junior researcher at ITMO’s Faculty of Physics.  The team is planning to adapt the technology and propose new solutions for industrial needs. For example, the operating area, the distance between the transmitter and the receiver, as well as the emitted power can be optimized to meet desired technol…

• ITMO Researchers Develop Algorithm for Rapid DNA Analysis

  …as a reference genome – a chain with similar core genetic sequences. The algorithm then compares DNA segments to the reference genome and, upon detecting disparities, adds the new variant to the existing chain. Thus, it is able to “record” information about nearly all bacterial mutations. “In the second stage, the algorithm re-assembles the source metagenome whi…

• Higgs Boson for People: How Fundamental Discoveries Transform Everyday Life and Where Physics Is Heading Now

  …erse and how it was formed – Ed.). The fact that the neutrino does have mass shows that the Standard Model needs to be supplemented, collider physics – to be further explored, new telescopes – to be launched, and cosmic rays – to be studied.  Every second, billions of neutrinos pour through us, but we can barely notice them. Teenagers may describe their lives simi…

• Spring in St. Petersburg: Things to Do, Eat, and Learn

  …New season, new beginning Trite as it may sound, the turn of the season is the perfect time for a fresh start for your home – and mind! This means getting rid of the old and not-needed, treating yourself to something new (if that’s your wish), reviewing your recent accomplishments, and hyping yourself u…

• ITMO Researchers Develop Analog GPS System for Autonomous Systems

  …s. Unlike its analogs, VOSTOK doesn’t require a camera, radar, or lidar to navigate and the system can be assembled from cheap, easily accessible components. Additionally, the new solution is faster and more accurate: coordinates are calculated with an accuracy of up to four millimeters and at several thousand times per second, surpassing real-time kinematic position…

• The Four Lost Letters of the Russian Alphabet

  …ly after the Russian Revolution, they were dropped from the alphabet. This was done in order to simplify and modernize it by removing redundant letters. Later on, however, two new characters secured a spot in the alphabet – Й й and Ё ё, which is why it currently has 33 letters. Some of the removed ones stood for the same sound as others, and the only reason why both …

• Discovery of the Month: AI Tools, Stopwatches, and More

  …t off. I do the alternative: instead of a counting down timer, I now use a counting up one for a task, and somehow the act of a stopwatch going and the feel of having to set a new one each time I switch to another big task does the trick for me. It’s definitely worth a try, surely, if you’re yourself good at taking breaks and okay with being “on the watch”. I persona…

• ITMO Physicists Simplify Thin Film Anodization for Allergy Diagnostics

  …ntensely. This would make it easier for the doctor to detect an allergic reaction without causing any discomfort to the patient,” says Igor Nikitin. Additionally, the new method can be used to create thin films for simple and inexpensive beam splitters with a specific intensity ratio of the separated beams, as well as solar cells. Currently, solar cells use …
