• ITMO Fellow Ilya Anoshkin on Nanotubes and Working Abroad

  Terahertz technologies hail a new era where blood tests are much more accurate, and Internet faster. All this is thanks to nanomaterials and their unique properties. One of the leading researchers in this field, Ilya Anoshkin joined ITMO University’s teaching staff via the ITMO Fellowship program. In spite of his extensive and successful experience of working in Finland and Sweden, he is reluctant to call himself a scientist. ITMO.NEWS met Ilya to find out why, and to talk about the technologies of the future and his take on teaching at ITMO.

• Gravity Waves and Graphene: How Nobel-Winning Research Moves Humanity Forward

  Last week, the gravitational wave observatory LIGO detected the waves resulting from a merger of a pair of black holes approximately one billion light years away from Earth. Two years ago, the first such discovery caused major excitement in the scientific community. Today, such events seem mundane. Yet, this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics, awarded to the scientists responsible for the LIGO project, shows that this research will remain highly relevant for quite some time. This year’s list of nominees also included those who are trying to explore the qualities of graphene. During an Open Day at ITMO’s Faculty of Physics and Engineering, scientists spoke about the impact that gravity waves and graphene have and will have on both science and everyday life.
