• ITMO Scientists Develop a Device to Control Light and Matter Quasiparticles

  Researchers from ITMO University have developed a system that can bind and control particles of light and matter. While the bound particles can become a more efficient and eco-friendly substitute for electricity, the device itself may serve as a foundation for advanced computers, communications means, and internet networks.

• A Material Simulating Dark Matter Particles Described

  A research team from ITMO University has devised a metamaterial that may be used to investigate the properties of axions, also known as dark matter candidates. The paper was co-authored by Frank Wilczek, a laureate of the Nobel Prize in Physics, and published in Physical Review B.

• ITMO Scientists Gets the Presidential Grant on Studying Quasiparticles

  At the end of November, Valentin Milichko, an Associate Professor for the Department of Nanophotonics and Metamaterials has received the Presidential Grant. Now, the scientist has two years to find experimental evidence of the effect of light on excitons in metal-organic crystals. Simply put, if this research is a success, it will not be long before a new generation of computers based on optical transistors will be developed.
