• Flexible Highly Sensitive Sensors of Calcium in Complex Media Developed at ITMO

  ITMO researchers have suggested a new approach to developing flexible, portable sensors for detecting calcium ions in complex media, such as seawater and milk. At the core of the sensors is MXene, a 2D material that, thanks to its high conductivity to ions and electrons, made it possible to increase the sensors’ sensitivity while also simplifying their design. The chemists have already unveiled two prototypes on substrates of glass and plastic that can be used to measure calcium levels in water bodies, foods (e.g., milk), and in medical diagnostics. The results of this Russian Science Foundation-supported study were published in Small.

• We Have the Universe at Home: ITMO Scientists Suggest Way to Model a Galaxy in a Lab

  Researchers from ITMO University have found a way to create a model galaxy in lab conditions, all by reproducing its dynamics with a different physical system – trapped atomic ions. Compared to existing astrophysical models that provide approximated results, this approach makes it possible to conduct experimental studies in a lab. It also offers a more precise answer as to why and how the movement of stars changes relative to a galaxy’s center and how the galaxy can transform. The results of the study have been published in International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos.
