• ITMO Scientists Create World’s Smallest Silicon Light Source

  Researchers at ITMO University have developed a new photoluminescence amplification method for silicon. The metasurface designed by the physicists can enhance silicon's ability to absorb and emit light by 10,000 times – at a record-low volume of the material. The discovery will open the way for faster and more energy-efficient communication devices, as well as nanospectroscopy devices for medicine, science, and industry. The study was published in ACS Photonics.

• ITMO Researchers Solve Key Issue for Compact Particle Accelerators

  Physicists at ITMO University have become the first to explain the nature of the skewed wake effect in particle accelerators. Their analytical theory shows how a tilt of a flat particle beam causes a reverse rotation of its electromagnetic field. The effect leads to unstable behavior of particles in next-gen compact accelerators and large colliders. The discovery could help predict the behavior of asymmetrical beams and make associated experiments safer and more efficient. The study was published in Physical Review Accelerators and Beams.

• ITMO Physicists Describe New Superfast Quantum Processes in Radiation

  Researchers at ITMO University have suggested a model for the visualization of superfast dynamic processes in light-radiating particles – and used it to predict new quantum phenomena. In contrast to the new model, existing methods can only be used to describe static processes, which significantly limits research options and presents a simplified view of the studied phenomena. Using the newly developed model, it will be possible to learn more about the nature of atoms, increase the efficiency of particle accelerator experiments, and create more accurate devices for the space industry and biomedicine. The related study was published in Communications Physics.
