COVID-19 Test Kits and Drug Delivery Systems: ITMO Specialists Teach Young Talents at Zerkalniy Camp
…ach a neural network to identify cavitation bubbles of various concentrations of ethanol. In the end, it had a precision of 85%,” comments Ilya. “We used ultrasound on alcohol solvents. With the increase in pressure, the solubility of gas decreased, and cavitation bubbles emerged. They demonstrated oscillations in various shapes. This is a hot topic now, and such sy…

ITMO Scientists Propose Improved Method For Laser-Plasma Processing of Glass
…mes to a ready lens or diffraction grating, the more it affects the beam’s form and size. This restricts the method’s processing resolution. The laboratory’s team succeeded in solving this problem. ITMO researchers decided to modify the method by positioning the glass and the graphite not close by but rather with a gap between them. “In the course of working …

Venture Capitalist Dmitry Kulish on Business Unicorns and Why Not Chase Them
…g customer problems and mastering the technology. The worst thing happens to those people who call themselves innovators but have no idea about what problem they are trying to solve and with what possible methods. The same goes for those who know the problem but do not have the technology. Unicorns are people who have both in their hands. Cargo cults and the …

Not Just Bike Paths and Greening: What Urban Planners Really Do
Picture of the Week: Kawasaki Robotics Industrial Robot with Force Control Sensor
…s of sensorless control. Such technologies will allow researchers to implement force control algorithms in robots, for which they were not originally intended. Thus, they will solve the problem of safe robot-human interaction. Classic robots do not have proximity sensors and thus cannot control their strength or change their trajectories, which may result in serio…

ITMO Researchers Create Algorithm for Predicting Vocational Interests
…ientists and students from ITMO University together with their fellow psychologists from St. Petersburg State University decided to create an algorithm that could also help in solving this problem. Six personality types The scientists used the so-called RIASEC scale developed by Dr. John Holland, an American psychologist. According to his theory, most peop…

How to Organize Teamwork and Avoid Conflicts: Tips by an ITMO Graduate
…elow. Tribe, pack, or team Throughout human history, the practice of cooperation in pursuit of a shared goal has been a common theme. Prehistoric people often united to solve problems jointly: kill a mammoth, do the field dressing, build a dwelling, and so on. So, it is fair to say that humanity owes its survival to the skills of teamwork. The same goes for an…

ITMO Scientists Achieve Record-Breaking Efficiency of Terahertz Radiation in Liquids
…(including organic ones) and movements of crystals’ atoms lie in this range. Moreover, unlike X-radiation, THz radiation is harmless to people, which allows us to use it to solve many important applied tasks. Scientists have earlier proven that it can be used for diagnostics, prevention, and treatment of diseases (such as cancer, diabetes, etc.), as well as in sec…

ITMO Associate Professor Elena Koshel on What DNA Robots Could Mean for Medicine
… workers could use it. At the same time, the system must detect as wide a spectrum of pathogens – bacteria, viruses, and fungi – as possible, and work under any conditions. Solving this task became possible thanks to the use of our sensors. Our DNA sensor is composed of two parts: two sequences that detect a pathogen’s RNA and two halves of G-quadruplex (guanin…
