• Russian Scientists Propose New Approach to Measuring Atoms

  …tions.  “We have the Schrödinger equation that can be used to describe any quantum system, says Ivan Chernyshov, researcher at ITMO’s ChemBio cluster. It is impossible to solve it with high accuracy. Quantum chemistry is the field of quantum mechanics that is dedicated to the approximate solution of this equation for chemical systems. Still, there’s one problem.…

• ITMO University Team Takes Third Place in Bauman Robotics Club Tournament

  …ght say that the task doesn’t look impossible, as something similar has already been implemented at Amazon’s famous automated warehouses. But in this case, the students had to solve this problem in just a couple of months with practically no budget at hand.  A total of 11 teams applied for participation, ten of them representing Bauman Moscow State Technical Unive…

• It’s All about Carboneum: How Carbon-Based Materials Help Create Efficient and Safe Solar Cells

  …tal data on these processes, but we need to come up with theories that will allow us to forecast the properties of such structures,” concludes Aleksandr Litvin. This way, solving these issues can strengthen the position of perovskite solar cells in the race for efficiency that now seems to be at its height. Reference: Aleksandr P. Litvin, Xiaoyu Zhang, Kevin …

• Stay at Home: Popular Science Lectures for the Self-Isolating

  … lifestyle did the extinct animal lead? Was it warm-blooded? Did it reach puberty? Was it a boy or a girl? Pavel Skutschas will not only answer these questions but also try to solve a couple of real-life paleontological puzzles together with the audience. And just in case you haven’t heard, Coursera for Campus has opened the access to over 3,800 courses and 400 sp…

• ITMO University Professor Joins Nanomaterials as Special Issue's Guest Editor

  …ing of the above-mentioned “elementary” structures. However, the description of most of them is related to very complex mathematics. In principle, quantum mechanics allows for solving any modern problems, but the cost is the main question. The cost can be extremely high. A simple example from modern mathematics: there is the graph theory, which makes it possible t…

• Optical Tweezers, Quantum Cryptography, and 3D Television: New Equipment at ITMO University’s Faculty of Physics and Engineering

  …into details and just follow the algorithm to complete it. Some of them aren’t interested in such an approach, and they want to switch from completing basic pre-given tasks to solving tasks independently. Any proposed lab assignment can be put together from scratch, so the first task for a student is to assemble an installation in accordance with the goal of the expe…

• Product Manager vs. Project Manager: What’s in the Name?

  … system facilitated keeping up with manufacturing deadlines, as it made possible to monitor which stage a detail was in, where processes slowed down or got stuck – and quickly solve this problem. The principles of lean manufacturing and continuous improvement (kaizen) remain relevant today. They also served as a foundation for the methodology Scrum.  Also a rug…

• First ITMO Ecohack Participants Create Automatic Waste Sorting System

  …Around 30 students from ITMO and other universities took part in the contest. Any student could apply to participate.  The task the participants had to solve was taken straight from ITMO.GREEN’s actual agenda – creating a service that would monitor and analyse the statistics of waste sorting efficiency. It is planned that the ideas developed over Ecohack will late…

• Edible Food Wrap, Supplements for Bees and a Natural Antiseptic: Exploring New Applications for One of the Most Common Biopolymers

  …? Chitin can be modified into chitosan by using concentrated alkali and heating. Chitosan acquires an amino group that increases the polymer’s reactivity, its ability to dissolve in water and acids, and makes various chemical transformations possible. Chitosan turns into a versatile building block, which researchers can turn into a unique polymer fitted to their n…
