• Compact Silicon Chip by ITMO and PKU Revolutionizes Optical Memory

  Scientists from ITMO University and Peking University (PKU) have developed a compact, energy-efficient memory component that acts as a microscopic light “trap” in a silicon photonic structure. Compared to alternatives, the device requires power of around 200 μW and can switch between multiple optical states, which is essential for high-speed optical data processing. In the long run, the technology can pave the way for ultra-fast, energy-efficient optical memory and optical AI processors. The results of the relevant study are published in Nature Nanotechnology.

• ITMO Fellowship Stories: Katerina Kukushkina on Research Career and Her Experience at ITMO

  Katerina Kukushkina decided to go into science as a child to follow in the footsteps of her grandfather, an aerospace engineer and DSc in engineering, but eventually ended up pursuing a completely different field – chemistry. Over the span of ten years, Katerina studied in Russia, Italy, and France and worked at BIOCAD (a major biotech company in Russia) and several research centers in Spain. However, it was at ITMO that she found all the necessary equipment and specialists for her own project on hybrid nanoparticles for cancer treatment. In this interview, Katerina Kukushkina speaks about the project’s prospects, her work at ITMO, and a career in research.

• Russia’s First Portable MRI Machine Developed at ITMO

  Researchers from ITMO University have built an experimental prototype of the nation’s first portable MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scanner that is five times cheaper to install and maintain than stationary devices. The machine employs a weak magnetic field and therefore requires no distinct equipment room, cooling system, nor high-energy supply – it can be plugged into a standard socket. It also uses a built-in AI system to ensure sufficient quality and remove noise in MRI images. The portable scanner will make examination more convenient for patients with limited mobility – and generally possible for patients with metal implants due to the use of a weak magnetic field.

• Russian Scientists Develop Dual-Action Approach for Liver Failure Treatment and Regeneration

  Scientists from Privolzhsky Research Medical University and ITMO University have devised an efficient therapeutic approach based on nanoparticles and loaded MicroRNA-200a for treating acute and chronic liver pathologies. In rats, the method proved to successfully prevent liver damage and significantly reduce the amount of collagen in its tissues, qualitatively improving its condition. The results of the Russian Science Foundation-supported study have been published in Biomaterials.
