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

  Researchers from ITMO’s Faculty of Physics and their collaborators from POSTECH were the first to discover an effect that amplifies exciton current by 80 times. Additionally, the researchers developed an electroplasmonic nanoresonator, a special structure 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.

• Towards Optical AI Architectures: First Robust 3D Photonic Topological Insulator Developed at ITMO

  Scientists from ITMO University have become the first team to create a nonconductive structure that makes it possible to control light in a 3D space without losses, even when the material has defects. It’s a fully dielectric 3D photonic topological insulator that paves the way for new compact, scalable, and robust photonic components, including integrated circuits and optical chips. In the future, they may become the key hardware foundation for next-gen computational AI architectures. The results of the study were published in Nature Materials.
