• What Can AI Tell About Us Through Our Social Media Profiles

  … that not all user information is true, there are other challenges. Firstly, data is presented differently in each source. All sources require an algorithm created for them specifically. The more data we integrate, the more complex our tools must be. Moreover, each algorithm must be designed, trained, developed, and tested. You can't just take it off the shelf. Secon…

• ITMO Scientists Propose Systems With Unique Interaction Between Photons and Mechanical Motion of Atoms

  …accompanied by the phenomenon of self-organization of atoms over a waveguide. The process is that atoms communicate with one another through photons each going in their own specific directions.  “Under strong optomechanical coupling, the system is in the multicomponent Schrödinger-cat ground state, that is, in a superposition of multiple classical states of the …

  …al diodes operating at the level of single photons and miniature quantum logical elements on a planar chip. The efficient functioning of such devices is possible through specific characteristics of a waveguide that can be reached in waveguide structures based on structured optical waveguides studied in this project. In particular, they allow local polarization …

• To Infinity and Beyond: How Modern Discoveries Are Changing Our Understanding of the Solar System

  …s are observed: the plant has a very powerful magnetic field, strong radiation belts, and charged particles that fall at the poles of Jupiter into its atmosphere generate a specific glow. These charged particles come from Jupiter's moons, which regularly emit gases to its surface. One of the main sources of gas and plasma in Jupiter's atmosphere is Io. This is…

• Potential Threat, Treasure Trove, or Future Home: Why Scientists Study Asteroids

  … got the opportunity to measure asteroids’ spectrum, there emerged the need to split them into classes. But as opposed to stars, the classification of asteroids is far less specific; one might even say that it’s yet to be firmly established.  This has to do with obvious reasons: asteroids’ spectra don’t have any distinctive characteristics that would’ve helped spl…
