Taming Silicon to Interact With Light for Next-Generation Microelectronics
Skoltech researchers and their colleagues from RAS Institute for Physics of Microstructures, Lobachevsky State University of Nizhny Novgorod, ITMO University, Lomonosov Moscow State University, and A.M. Prokhorov General Physics Institute have found a way to increase photoluminescence in silicon, the notoriously poor emitter and absorber of photons at the heart of all modern electronics. This discovery may pave the way to photonic integrated circuits, boosting their performance. The paper was published in the journal Laser and Photonics Reviews.

Laser 'paintbrush' creates one-inch scale version of Vincent Van Gogh's masterpiece 'The Starry Night' on metal that can be changed and erased
Scientists from ITMO University have upgraded the technology for “painting” on metal surfaces. Now, artists can apply their images onto metal quickly and easily, as well as make edits more than 30 times. The new method lies at the foundation of a new laser brush that will make it possible to create colorful pictures on metal manually, just like with a pencil or a marker.
