• Zooniverse: Help Study Polar Animals While Staying at Home

  …hard to tell an egg from a stone, but that just boosts your interest. By the way, you don’t have to register to participate, but if you’re willing to share comments about a specific photo with the associated research team, you have to create an account, which takes less than a minute. After dealing with penguins, you can switch to counting seals. This task is …

• ITMO Roboticists Developing a Financially Independent Robot Artist

  …int of view. At first, the robot would draw using individual square-shaped strokes, but the initial sketches and tests didn’t look very presentable. We decided to pick a specific brush type and teach the robot to draw at the proper angle – and it learned to draw the entire hieroglyph at once. Does the robot only know how to draw hieroglyphs or are there other s…

• Citizen Science: How to Contribute to Research From the Comfort of Your Home

  …entify mosquito habitats. The apps Globe at Night and Loss of the Night collect data about light pollution. It’s very simple: all you need to do is confirm whether a specific constellation can be seen from your location at night. All collected data is published by the website My Sky at Night, which aggregates information from several sources. Another way to…

• ITMO University Launches Laboratory of Quantum Processes and Measurements

  …ms associated with experiments and their detailed description. As of now, quasi-classical models, which are founded on a number of oversimplifications, are used to describe specific experiments in quantum optics. A good example of this is that there are almost no models for measuring the parameters of non-classical light conditions when light propagates in various en…

  …del; both are adjusted according to the latest data on the number of infected. The app allows users to gauge how reducing or reinforcing the self-isolation measures in a specific country may affect its infection rates, thus showing the user how their own actions may increase their risks of contracting the disease. “Current-day epidemiological models must be b…

  …eaking, a light trap,” expounds Fedor Benimetskiy, another co-author of the paper. “Picture a set of two mirrors facing each other. Under certain conditions, the light of a specific wavelength will be trapped between them. In our case, the waveguide acts like these two mirrors. When light passes through the semiconductor, it creates polaritons, which are simultaneous…
