• Russian Science Foundation to Support R&D in Five New Fields In 2023

  The Russian Science Foundation (RSF) is set to receive additional powers to financially support those experimental research & development projects that are of interest to the industry and can potentially be introduced into the current production processes. This was stated by Alexander Khlunov, the CEO of RSF, in his address at the second Congress of Young Scientists in Sochi on December 1st. The funding will be provided for five priority fields of research. See below for more details.

• ITMO Scientists Achieve Record-Breaking Efficiency of Terahertz Radiation in Liquids

  Physicists from ITMO University have improved the method of converting optical radiation into terahertz radiation using a liquid, which until recently was thought of as unpromising. Nevertheless, the achieved efficiency of the conversion in such a medium is a record-breaking 0.1%. It’s a proven fact that terahertz radiation, unlike X-radiation, is harmless and can be used in medicine, security systems, ecological monitoring, analysis of art objects, and in the food industry. A research paper on the subject was published in the Communications Physics journal. This research is supported by a grant from the Russian Science Foundation (RSF).

• Scientists Create New IR-Activated Coating for Local Drug Delivery

  The coating is based on active substances, in particular, bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2), loaded into the titania layer and modified by polypyrrole. If this coating is fabricated on the implant surface, it is possible to accelerate the injury recovery and to control this process using infrared radiation (IR).

• ITMO Scientists Propose an Improved Technology for Detecting Ultra-Low Magnetic Fields

  It is for several years now that ITMO University scientists have been working on the creation of supersensitive sensors for measuring ultra-low magnetic fields that occur, for example, in the brain. These sensors can be made from compact ceramic resonators and defect ensemble (NV centers) in a diamond. Recently, the physicists have published an article in the Review of Scientific Instruments journal, where they described a new, more efficient version of an antenna for such measuring devices. ITMO.NEWS spoke with the authors to find out why we should measure the magnetic field of the human brain, and how this is proposed to be done.

• New Research Allows Jet-Printing of Piezostructures and Holograms on Any Surface

  ITMO University’s Master's students Vladislav Slabov and Kirill Keller talk about the role of inkjet printing methods in their new research. The scientists have created a way to not only print chromatic holograms on any surface but also to create high-quality organic piezoelectric structures. The results of their research were published in Advanced Functional Materials and Applied Materials & Interfaces.
