Mining Hardware Helps Scientists Gain Insight into Silicon Nanoparticles
…Improvement of computing devices today focuses on increasing information processing speeds. Nanophotonics is one of the sciences that can solve this problem by means of optical devices. Although optical signals can be transmitted and processed much faster than electronic ones, first, it is necessary to learn how to quickly control light on a small scale. For this pur…

ITMO Researchers Develop Wireless Signal Transfer Method for MRI
…esponse. Then the signal is wirelessly transmitted (almost without loss) to the inbuilt coil with no cables. Only then does it get to the receiver. Scientists of the Nanophotonics and Metamaterials International Center at ITMO University have developed a new wireless coil structure, which is similar to the structure of elementary cells of metamaterials. It is a me…

METANANO-2018 Conference: How to Participate and What to Expect
…at the conference. At METANANO 2018, scientists will discuss the latest achievements in optical sensors (optics+bioinformatics), targeted drug delivery (chemistry+optics+biophotonics), and single-photon sources (quantum optics+solid-state physics+radiophysics). Projects existing at the junction of several sciences are growing in number, as they are key to finding pra…

ITMO is LOVE
…Pavel Belov, PhD, Head and Chief Research Associate of Department of Nano-Photonics and Metamaterials: I love science as any other “crazy” researcher does. I love science as Sheldon Cooper loves trains, flags, and Spock from Star Trek. It is impossible to explain why and the reason for it, but I am 100% sure that it is so. However, I am not quite sure tha…
