• ITMO Researchers Develop Biofermenter That Accelerates Organic Waste Processing by 60 Times

  A team of scientists from ITMO University has created a series of closed-type units for aerobic fermentation of organic waste. The equipment is 30-60 times faster than conventional methods (such as composting) at processing manure, droppings, and food waste into safe organic fertilizer, litter, or feed additives, while also consuming tens of times less energy than its counterparts available on the international market. Included in three Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation lists of best available technologies, this spring the project was presented at the St. Petersburg International Forum Ecology of Big City.

• ITMO Researchers Discover New Way to Amplify Exciton Current and Accelerate AI Computations

  Researchers from ITMO’s Faculty of Physics and their collaborators from POSTECH (South Korea) are the first to discover an effect that amplifies exciton current by 80 times. Additionally, the researchers have developed an electroplasmonic nanoresonator, a special structure used to control the exciton current at the nanoscale. In the future, it can lay the foundation for energy-efficient, fast, and compact exciton integrated circuits for data transfer and AI computations in addition to existing electron and optical circuits. The corresponding paper has been published in Nature Materials.
