• ITMO’s Monday Science Roundup #89

  …eatly from the use of semiconductor perovskites. To utilize them properly, manufacturers must etch special patterns into the material, which is not always an easy process. The scientists produced a roundabout solution – instead of applying the etching directly onto the perovskites, they devised a titanium dioxide film that then “fuses” with the underlying material. …

• ITMO Researchers Suggest Model to Predict Parameters of Laser Metal Transfer Onto Glass

  …ck onto the target. Until now, the method has been studied mostly experimentally, so the gap was chosen “blindly” and many physical effects remained unexplained. A group of scientists from ITMO, headed by Prof. Vadim Veiko, has solved this problem with a physical and mathematical model that recreates the LIBT process in detail. It can be used to calculate the opti…

• ITMO Highpark Techno Valley Receives 5 Billion-Ruble Investment

  … will receive the federal status of an innovative research and technological center (IRTC). This will provide a legal basis for preferential tax rates for residents engaged in scientific and technological activities. That, in turn, will ensure an influx of innovative companies to ITMO Highpark by creating the most comfortable conditions for their development. All the…

• Student Spotlight: Suraj Majumdar, India

  …Hi Suraj! Please introduce yourself. Where are you from, and what drew you into computer science? Hello! I’m Suraj, from Siliguri, West Bengal, India. What pulled me into computer science was the idea that you could create something from scratch with nothing but a laptop and some code. I started experimenting with Python, automating …

• Three Ideas by Russian Philosophers Worth Exploring

  …Unity of everything All aspects of being are not only connected, but also deeply united. This includes everything from the spiritual realm and everyday life to science and religion. To give us a full understanding of the universe, they have to be brought together. That’s how we can briefly summarize the theory of All-Unity (всеединство), developed by Vladimir Solo…

• Chilean Researcher Ivan Martinez – on “Serious Russians,” Loving Chemistry, and Traveling for Science

  …This is perhaps the most obvious question for a scientist, yet I cannot help but ask: when did you first become interested in science and why did you choose to make it your career? I’ve always liked science, but my first loves were biology and math, not chemistry. When I was in school, I simply didn’t h…

• ITMO Scientists Increase Sensitivity of Levitating Particle Sensors

  …at the Nonlinear Optics of Condensed Media Laboratory of the International Research and Educational Center for Physics of Nanostructures.  In their previous work, the scientists studied the nonlinear dynamics of a single microparticle levitating in a quadrupole trap and identified two modes of its movement: linear (low-amplitude oscillations) and nonlinear (…

• AI Pharmacist: ITMO-Developed Algorithm Helps Produce New Efficient Antibiotics

  …e to losing their effectiveness when used frequently. The reason is that bacteria start to evolve and mutate and thus become drug resistant. To extend the life of antibiotics, scientists seek to produce medications that target several bacterial proteins at once; thus, when one protein changes, the drug can link to another and continue to fight the disease.  New an…
