• ITMO Scientists Devise High-Speed Area Scanners for Security and Missing Person Searches

  Researchers from ITMO University have developed a scanning system that  produces high-resolution thermal imaging pictures of its surroundings by detecting objects of varying temperatures at two-second intervals. Compared to analogs, the proposed technology is more reliable and affordable, and can scan areas more quickly. Among its possible applications are infrastructure security, tracking all modes of transportation (water, land, and air), and locating missing persons.

• Topological Polariton-Based Structure: Scientists Get One Step Closer to Next-Gen Optoelectronic Devices

  Researchers from ITMO University, the University of Sheffield, and the City College of New York have proposed a metasurface with unique topological properties. The proposed system is based on a photonic topological insulator integrated with a two-dimensional semiconductor and stimulates polaritons – quasiparticles that combine the properties of topological photons and excitons. The discovery opens the door to more efficient light control and hence advanced transmission and processing of optical information. The related article is published in Nature Communications.

• ITMO Student Artur Shaikhatarov on Helping People with Special Needs

  Artur Shaikhatarov started to work on a mobile app for the deaf-blind back when he was a school student in Ufa, in the Russian republic of Bashkortostan. Now, he studies at ITMO University, and his invention has brought the attention of the Russian MChS and the International Paralympic Committee. ITMO.NEWS met with Artur to learn more about why he decided to work on this project, how he plans to provide the deaf-blind with useful equipment, and whether he expects to see his app at the Paralympic Games.

• ITMO Research: ITMO University Launches a New Popular Science Podcast

  ITMO Research is the first major podcast of ITMO University that will cover scientific topics in various fields, from physics to business. As part of the podcast, the host will talk with ITMO University’s staff members and researchers. It’s not just lectures or audio guides, but rather an attempt to explain a specific topic for those who aren’t familiar with it, as well as to present another approach for those who are. Find out more about the new media project by ITMO University in our article.
