• ITMO Researchers Ramp Up X-Ray Laser Research Into Nano- and Biomaterials

  In 2019, a Russian federal program for the development of synchrotron and neutron-focused research was launched. The program will go on until 2027; in that time, new megascience-class projects, such as X-ray lasers, synchrotrons, and neutron generators, are expected to be launched. As part of the program, in 2021 the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education announced a contest for research and specialist training. A team of scientists from ITMO University participated in the contest and won with a project on X-ray laser technologies in nano- and biomaterials science.

• Promising Materials, Reservoir Computing and Li-Fi: Research at ITMO’s International Research Center of Functional Materials and Devices of Optoelectronics

  Since the time of its foundation, researchers of ITMO’s International Research Center of Functional Materials and Devices of Optoelectronics have succeeded in publishing over 600 research articles, getting over one and a half billion rubles in funding from the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, Russian Science Foundation, and Russian Foundation for Basic Research, and completing 36 major projects, international-level projects included. As part of an Open Day, researchers from the center’s six laboratories and its head Alexey Romanov spoke about its structure, international research activities, and project work.

• Russian Participants of European XFEL Observe and Document Never-Before-Seen Effect

  A team of ITMO University specialists and their German colleagues have successfully used the world’s largest free-electron X-ray laser to conduct an experiment on ultrafast demagnetization of ferromagnetic material using femtosecond IR excitation. While studying the dynamics of this process, the scientists had discovered a new type of X-ray scattering in ferromagnetic material, which occurs immediately after the laser pulse and lasts for some 100 picoseconds. Their findings were recently presented at the European XFEL Users’ Meeting in Hamburg, which brought together over 1,300 participants from 30 countries. ITMO.NEWS got in touch with Igor Pronin, the head of this project, who presented a plenary report on the study during the event.
