It’s All about Carboneum: How Carbon-Based Materials Help Create Efficient and Safe Solar Cells

“Solar cells have already become a symbol of modern technologies and fight for the environment. At the same time, the solar power industry is always on the go: manufacturers strive to improve the efficiency of their devices, and scientists and …

ITMO Scientists Created a Surface Allowing Loss-Free Propagation and Management of Light

“Physicists from ITMO University have developed the first synthetic dielectric surface where the propagation of electromagnetic waves isn’t hampered by existing defects and can be manipulated. In the future, such a structure will enable the creation of more reliable …

Researchers From ITMO Create First-Ever Light-Emitting Nanoantennas

“Young scientists from ITMO University have developed a new type of nanoscale light sources based on halide perovskites. The nanosources are subwavelength nanoparticles which serve both as emitters and nanoantennas capable of amplifying light emission inherently without need for additional …

New Femto-Camera with Quadrillion Fractions of a Second Resolution

“Researchers from ITMO University have built a setup for recording holograms of tiny objects like living cells with a femtosecond speed. The new method allows one to reconstruct phase topography of a studied sample according to deformations that emerge in …

New Material Makes it Possible to Record Data with Light

“Russian physicists with their colleagues from Europe through changing the light parameters, learned to generate quasiparticles — excitons, which were fully controllable and also helped to record information at room temperature. These particles act as a transitional form between photons and …
