Light From Nowhere: ITMO Scientists Explain How Twisted Electrons Emit Photons Outside Magnetic Fields
…lso possess wave properties. If an electron is free, unaffected by any force, it behaves like a flat wave and doesn’t radiate. However, a wave’s properties can be changed. For instance, magnetic coils can guide electrons similarly to the way lenses guide light. The physics of electrons in a uniform magnetic field has been established for quite a while. Such a fiel…

ITMO’s Monday Science Roundup #112
…t-ever metasurface with properties that are adjustable in the middle-infrared range. By shifting away from light-absorbing materials, they’ve created a solution that is almost instantaneously responsive to incoming pulses and would therefore be highly useful in spectrometers and other systems involving light-based transmission.

Science Without Permission: ITMO-Curated Exhibition About Women in Science Opens in Moscow
…m, the human-animal boundaries, and climate data and space. Each room explores the theme on three levels: historical (each researcher’s scientific path), associative (research-inspired art objects), and modern (contemporary research). Among the historical figures featured are physicist Alexandra Glagoleva-Arkadieva, mathematicians Sofya Kovalevskaya and Olga Lady…

Graduate Spotlight: Subhrajit Barua, India
… Why is aflatoxin contamination a significant problem, and what solution did you investigate? Milk and dairy products are something many people consume every day. Aflatoxins are especially concerning because they are classified as Group 1 carcinogens and are known to cause cancer. Conventional physical or chemical decontamination methods may reduce contamina…

ITMO Researchers Find New Way To Measure Material Durability for Flexible Electronics
… without breaking. “When we compress a nanoparticle, its mechanical and electronic properties change: electrons require less energy to split from an atom and start moving inside the crystal. This affects the material’s electron structure and its light-emitting capacity. Such changes are important in practice. Understanding the connection between deformation and …

ITMO CONF 2026: How Ideas Reach Markets
…t ITMO’s Faculty of Physics. His team was developing metamaterials and looking for structures with unusual electromagnetic properties. At a certain point, the researchers took inspiration from the Chanel logo and created a metaatom of an unusual shape. This structure made it possible to transmit the wave without reflection and give it the desired propagation angle at…

Discovery of the Month: Trusty Recipes, Driving Lessons, and More
… off guard: we started driving on the street right away, among other real cars. Now, after several weeks, I feel much more confident and even excited about what comes next. My instructor doesn't praise me much, but at least he doesn't yell either! The experience is teaching you to constantly read the situation, stay focused and relax at the same time, all skills I sh…
