• ITMO To Receive 400 Million Rubles From Priority 2030 National Program

  The Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education has announced the results of recent defenses within the Priority 2030 national program. ITMO University shared the first outcomes of its transformation into a research and educational corporation, as well as its further development plans. In 2026, the university will receive around 400 million rubles to implement its all-encompassing development strategy, including projects in AI for business, science, and education.

• Russian Scientists Develop World's Smallest Blue Laser For Displays

  In collaboration with their colleagues from MIPT’s Center for Photonics and 2D Materials, scientists from ITMO University have devised the world's smallest laser that emits light in the blue spectrum. With a volume 13 times smaller than the wavelength of the produced light, it paves the way for the creation of a new generation of ultra-high-resolution displays and compact biomedical devices. The research is supported by grants from the Russian Science Foundation.

• A High-Efficient Switchable Third Harmonic Source Developed by ITMO Researchers

  A team of scientists from ITMO University have developed a record-thin device that decreases the wavelength of a laser beam by threefold. The process, known as the third harmonic generation, is now more efficient thanks to a 20 nm-thick film made of chalcogenide alloys that generates radiation in a wide range of wavelengths without amplification by nanoresonators and performs 100-1,000 times better than similar devices. The technology will be useful in further research related to tissues and cells in laser scanning microscopes and signal processing in photonic integrated circuits for quantum communication. The corresponding article is published in Laser & Photonics Reviews.

• Butterfly Effect: ITMO Researchers Create Colorful Perovskite Films for Optoelectronics

  Scientists from ITMO have developed a new method for creating colorful structured semiconductor perovskite films without the risk of defects or contamination. A special nanopattern that imbues perovskites with optical properties is applied with a laser not onto the perovskite film itself but onto a titanium dioxide substrate. The resulting films can be used to change the direction of luminescence. With such nanostructured semiconductors, it’s possible to develop a new type of solar cells and diodes with improved electrophysical characteristics. The study is described in a paper published in Light: Advanced Manufacturing.

• Chilean Researcher Ivan Martinez – on “Serious Russians,” Loving Chemistry, and Traveling for Science

  After graduating from university in his native Chile, Ivan Martinez decided to dive straight into science. Today, he’s developing technologies that would allow us to easily, cheaply, and quickly desalinate seawater – a problem that’s relevant to not just Latin America, but the whole world. According to the WHO, more than 2 billion people have no access to safe drinking water. In order to unlock new opportunities for his work, Ivan has journeyed across the world to Russia. Here at ITMO University, he conducts research with local scientists and delivers lectures to students. Speaking to ITMO NEWS, he explained why we need desalination technologies, what he finds fascinating about chemistry, and why Russians aren’t as serious as they might seem.
