Scientists from ITMO University solved the problem of modeling people's behavior on a practical example: “How to ensure a convenient and safe route to the subway 70 thousand fans from being built for the 2018 FIFA World Cup stadium Zenit Arena, taking into account various non-standard situations, ranging from heavy rain and losing your favorite team. " On this and other variants of practical application of the development in the material of “Rossiyskaya Gazeta”.

Quantum communications: from research to a working project

The work of scientists of the ITMO University allows you to create a competitive quantum communication system that allows you to compete with the world's leading developments in this field. The part of the quantum network implemented within the framework of the project is the first in Russia operating in the urban infrastructure. About the company Quantum Technologies LLC at the ITMO University, in which the project is being implemented, Rusbase wrote , and you can read more about the technology itself here .

Robotic glove to restore fine motor skills in people who have suffered a stroke

Young scientists from ITMO University created a robot glove that flexes and extends the fingers of a patient’s hand at an early stage of rehabilitation, when the person himself cannot control his muscles. In more detail about development, its advantages before world analogs, and how scientists are going to start the robot in mass production tells TASS.

Discovery of chirality at quantum dots of cadmium selenide

The discovery was made by chemists at ITMO University and Trinity College.
On the discovery, scientific publications made on this topic, the experiment conducted and the significance of research in this area, writes the portal N + 1.

A project to reduce the cost of an MRI procedure

Scientists at ITMO University are working to improve the quality of the image obtained by magnetic resonance imaging. They have already managed to design a system in which the quality of the image produced by the tomograph is higher, the process of tomography itself is an order of magnitude shorter and cheaper. More about the project in the material of "Rossiyskaya Gazeta".
