Physicists Discover: Light Spin Behaves Like Slowing-Down Spinning Top
Researchers have uncovered that the spin of light can develop patterns like those of a spinning top: the spin vector moves along the surface of an inverted cone. Previously, this dynamic was thought to appear exclusively in particles with a magnetic momentum and not in photons. The discovery can potentially find applications in optical spintronics – a field in which information is transferred and processed using the spin of light instead of an electron as in traditional spintronics. The results of this RSF-supported study were published and featured as an Editors’ Suggestion in Physical Review B.

ITMO-Developed AI Agent Connects Publications, Authors, and Code
Researchers at ITMO’s Institute for Artificial Intelligence have developed PAUK – the nation’s first open-source software that builds an interactive research connections map using a multi-source dataset: research organizations, employees and their publications, and code repositories. The service works as both a search engine and a map: users can find similar and related developments, authors, researchers, papers, and repositories based on a single article. The project was presented at the 22nd Conference of Open Source Developers in Pereslavl-Zalessky.

ITMO To Receive 180 Million Rubles for High-Tech Optical Equipment
ITMO University was selected by the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education to receive a subsidy of 180 million rubles to encourage domestic engineering production. The funding will be used to build a spectrophotometer – a device that measures the amount of light absorbed by a liquid sample to identify its composition and proportions. The technology will make it possible to determine substances present in a single drop of solution, verify the quality of medications, and analyze biological samples. The university will receive the allocated funding in 2026-2028.
