  • ITMO Researchers Propose Power Regulator for Optical Devices

    A revolutionary approach to managing the state of optical devices was proposed by a group of scientists from ITMO University and the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT). The researchers managed to control the devices’ power by varying the angle of incidence, thus allowing for more convenient regulation. Optical systems can now be turned on and off the same as lights or electric devices. The findings of the study, conducted within the program Klever, will pave the way for the production of elements for optoelectronic microdevices.

  • ITMO Students Make a Battery That Can Be Wirelessly Recharged up to 500 Times

    In spite of their many disadvantages, batteries remain one of the key components in contemporary electronics. While changing their structure entirely is impossible due to the chemical and physical processes happening inside, scientists, startups, and major companies are searching for ways to reinvent them or adopt totally new approaches. One such approach was suggested by students of ITMO’s School of Physics and Engineering – their nine-volt battery can be recharged wirelessly with a regular smartphone charger. ITMO.NEWS breaks down the science behind the new device.
