• Bright Ideas: ITMO Researchers’ Dynamic Nanostructure Achieves 35x Light Amplification

  …f the process is automated, we’ll be able to integrate it into more independent systems that don’t require human input,” explains Elena Gerasimova. In the future, the scientists will need to determine how the nanostructure could be placed within a more suitable medium. The issue is that the polymer can only contract and expand in water, which is why the rese…
