• Rose or White: ITMO Researchers’ New Algorithm Uses Bubbles to Gauge Wine Quality and Glass Type

  Scientists at ITMO University have developed a method of assessing the type of sparkling wine with 84% accuracy – and the type of wine glass with 82% accuracy. The researchers were the first to use machine learning in order to analyze wine based on the shape and size of bubbles caused by ultrasound. This invention will be helpful in providing automated, quick, and inexpensive quality control in industrial and lab conditions. The results of the study were published in RSC Advances and supported by grant No. FSER-2024-0003 of the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education.

• Chemists From ITMO University Created New Diagnostic Method for Difficult Climate Conditions

  Scientists from the SCAMT Laboratory of ITMO University developed a method to detect viral RNA without special equipment. The sensor is based on a polymerization reaction: if the sample contains traces of the target virus, then under the ultraviolet irradiation the liquid-sensor turns into a gel. The results of such an analysis can easily be detected even by people with limited vision. As the required reagents are widely available and resistant to temperature extremes, the method can be used in difficult field conditions. The results are published in RSC Advances.
