• Bringing Quantum Tech Closer: Researchers from ITMO and Ludwig Maximilian University Examine New Approach to 2D Heterostructures

  In a paper published in Nature Nanotechnology, the collaborators from ITMO and Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich describe a new method for producing two-dimensional heterostructures. The approach is based on the so-called moiré effect, achieved when two layers are stacked at a certain angle. The resulting patterns demonstrate exciton states that are of scientific interest and hold a potential in terms of next-gen electronic devices, as well as quantum technologies.

• ITMO University Scientists Remember Nobel Laureate Zhores Alferov

  Zhores Alferov, a Soviet and Russian physicist and a Nobel Laureate, died aged 88 in St. Petersburg on March 2. He was one of the four Russian scientists who’ve won the Nobel Prize since 1991. He was awarded the prize in 2000 for the development of semiconductor heterostructures for high-speed optoelectronics. In this article, we look back on Zhores Alferov’s legacy and his contribution to science and society.
