• 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.

• 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.
