• ITMO-Developed Metasurface Makes Optical Chips 2x More Efficient

  An international team of researchers has developed a silicon-based metasurface that transmits light in a narrow range of wavelengths irrespective of a source’s polarization. The material can be used to produce optical chips for screening devices that evaluate antimicrobial activity, as well as saliva-based allergen and glucose sensors, and polarizing filters for computer vision. The results of the study are published in ACS Photonics.

• More Lung Cancer Cases Discovered Thanks to Computer Tomography

  In the late 2010s, there was a surge in lung cancer incidence in Russia – however, there wasn’t a related rise in death rate. According to a team of researchers from ITMO headed by oncoepidemiologist Anton Barchuk, this can be explained by the spread of computer tomography for screening and diagnostics. Their study was published in Cancer Epidemiology.
