• ITMO Researchers Develop Fast and Simple Perovskite Nanolaser Creation Method

  Using the new method, scientists can synthesize perovskite nanolasers, which combine an optically active medium with a Fabry–Pérot high-Q resonator, in just five minutes. The nanolasers’ simple synthesis process and their unique optical qualities make them highly promising sources of coherent radiation in the development of high-sensitivity optical sensors and ultra-fast data transfer in photonic integrated circuits. Results of this research have been published in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces.

• Silicon Nanoparticles for Nanosurgery: Master’s Student Publishes an Article in Nano Letters

  Using nanoparticles for medical purposes is a promising method which remains sought-after for over 10 years. One of the most important breakthroughs in this field is optical heating of nanoparticles fixed on tumor cells. Using this method one can damage diseased cells with localized heating. To control the temperature without damaging living tissues researchers use golden particles. However, the current control methods are complicated and take lots of time. ITMO Master’s student Georgy Zograf tries to solve this problem using silicon nanoparticles. He became the first author of article devoted to the results of this study, which was published in Nano Letters.

• Meadowsweet Decoction Showed its Activity in Cancer Preventing

  Russian scientists discovered meadowsweet activity in preventing neurocarcinogenesis in rats. Having increased risks of rodents to get cancer, the researchers proved that those animals, which were given the meadowsweet decoction instead of water, had the number of brain and spinal cord tumors reduced by two and three times respectively. According to the scientists, the work determines a further research path in the field of natural cancer inhibitors. The experiment results were reported in Journal of Neuro-Oncology.

• Wild Potato for the Welfare of Cultivated Vegetables

  Mechanisms of interaction between microorganisms and plants, for instance, symbiosis of bacteria and vegetables, are a poorly researched field. Making a breakthrough can lead to new technologies of food storage. The specialists of International Research Center "Biotechnologies of the Third Millennium" study this issue in order to develop anti-parasitic medications. This year Romain Darriaut, Master’s student from Sup’Biotech University, joined the research group.
