A Novel Atom-Twisting Method Proposed by ITMO Researchers
Scientists from ITMO University discovered that an atom adopts a twisted structure when absorbing twisted light. As the proposed model facilitates and accelerates the twisting process, it provides an insight into the physics of interactions between structured light and complex quantum systems, as well as will be helpful in microscopy, quantum tomography and computing, and telecommunications. The results of the study are published in Physical Review. The research is supported by the Russian Science Foundation.

An Electric Shepherd for Electric Sheep: ITMO Researchers Develop Manipulator for Singular Nanoparticles
Laboratory analysis of singular nanoparticles usually calls for specialized, expensive equipment and a lot of time; now, a new manipulator by researchers from ITMO promises to solve that problem. The add-on fits onto any microscope, doesn’t require any in-depth optics knowledge, and is easy to use. In a few minutes, it picks out a particle from the greater mass and secures it under the lens in a specific spot. The device should prove useful in identifying medical issues at early stages, developing new materials for nanoengineering, and studying the unique properties of particles in fundamental physics.
