• Ultrathin 2D Crystals for Data Recording and Storage Synthesized at ITMO

  А new class of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) that turn from 3D to 2D structures on their own has been discovered at ITMO. These can be used in memristors and ReRAM – technologies used for the recording and storage of data. Such crystals are created with solution chemistry methods without the need for expensive lithography, which significantly reduces their price. At the same time they are thin (starting from 4 nanometers), while their improved electronic properties make them an efficient component in memory devices and AI platforms. The results of this Russian Science Foundation- and Priority 2030-supported project were published in Advanced Science.

• The Experiment: Best Ways to Deal With Burnout

  This year, the usual winter energy drop just didn’t seem to want to go away for me any time soon. I also noticed that no tasks brought me joy anymore, I was almost always tired and almost never fulfilled, and everything had just sort of lost its point. A quick Google search later, I realized these symptoms looked suspiciously like burnout – and decided to do something about it. So I turned to the trusty internet to try out some common tips on dealing with burnout. Below is the result of my little experiment, which can hopefully act as a burnout prevention kit for anyone who also finds themselves struggling.

• Next Stop – Houston: School Students from St. Petersburg Win FIRST Tech Challenge Championship

  Sputnik Original, a team of school students from St. Petersburg, reigned supreme at last month's international robotics competition FIRST Tech Challenge Championship in Italy. They outperformed more than 40 teams from 13 countries, becoming the event’s absolute winners. The team trains at Lyceum No. 244, where they are mentored by university students, including Master’s students from ITMO who once graduated from the school and have now returned to teach supplementary courses. What awaits the team next? The world finals in Houston (USA) in late April. ITMO NEWS got to talk to the team and now shares their story.

• ITMO Researchers Discover New Type of Singularity – Exceptional Bound States in the Continuum

  A team of scientists from Russia, China, Austria, and the UK have found a new, previously considered impossible type of singularity, namely exceptional bound states in the continuum. The finding opens the door to producing energy-efficient optical transistors, modulators, and switches, as well as next-gen ultrasensitive sensors that can detect viruses and proteins more effectively. The results of the study were published in Physical Review Letters.

• New Study from ITMO: Waveguides Made Invisible to Each Other in 2D Lattice

  Physicists from ITMO and University of Chile have demonstrated mutual invisibility in a waveguide lattice for the first time. With this alignment, adjacent waveguides don’t exchange light: upon entering the lattice, light doesn’t scatter and instead remains a limited area. Conducted with support from the Russian Science Foundation grant No. 24-72-10069, the study was described in a paper published in Nano Letters.
