• ITMO Researchers Create New Material for Ultrafast Optical Chips and Transistors

  An international team of scientists was first to demonstrate that halide perovskites can serve as a base for nonlinear on-chip optical components. As an example, they can be used to build ultrafast optical chips and transistors, and, potentially, other integrated optical systems. Unlike other materials, halide perovskites can operate at room temperature and are inexpensive to produce. The results were published in ACS Nano and supported by the Priority 2030 program.

• New Study from ITMO: Waveguides Made Invisible to Each Other in 2D Lattice

  Physicists from ITMO and University of Chile have demonstrated mutual invisibility in a waveguide lattice for the first time. With this alignment, adjacent waveguides don’t exchange light: upon entering the lattice, light doesn’t scatter and instead remains a limited area. Conducted with support from the Russian Science Foundation grant No. 24-72-10069, the study was described in a paper published in Nano Letters.

• ITMO Researchers Develop Algorithm for Rapid DNA Analysis

  Scientists from ITMO University have unveiled Strainy, an algorithm that identifies DNA bacteria within microbiomes and discerns between heterogenous strains with a high degree of accuracy. With the help of this software, researchers should be able to quickly determine the pathogenicity and antibiotic resistance of specific bacterial communities, as well as learn more about their evolutionary paths. The corresponding paper has been published in Nature Methods.
