Representatives of the Russian gamedev discuss the state of the industry in the light of the recent scandal around the game Atomic Heart. Inside, there are tips for newbies: how to weed out bad employers at the interview stage, and find your place in the development team.
A detailed report from the CES 2019 exhibition. The latest developments of world companies will be discussed: the Artemis mirror, the Lovot home robot, flexible smartphones and televisions. The delegation of the University ITMO also presented at the exhibition its development - the game Shadow Samurai , using motion capture gloves as a controller.
Our researchers were among the first to use MO systems to analyze game data. How the game behavior allows to define a gender of the player, and why it is necessary.
Inspired by the # 10yearschallenge, we prepared a review of technologies that have changed beyond recognition over the past ten years. We compare the evolution of smartphones, watches, robots and bank cards, talking about mixed reality, IoT and functional nutrition.
The European XFEL is a three-kilometer-long laser setup, with which you can solve a number of practical tasks: from developing new data transfer methods to nanomaterial research. University experts conducted a ten-day experiment based on XFEL. We will tell about the results, features of work with nanocrystals and impressions from the process.
Our scientists have found a new way to create miniature lasers based on perovskite . Unlike existing methods, this process takes 5-7 minutes. We will talk about the principles of the technology and its applications.
The material on how researchers at ITMO University simplified the creation of hybrid nanostructures using a femtosecond laser. In the future, the proposed approach can significantly increase network bandwidth and information recording density.
The ITMO University team together with foreign colleagues developed a nanomachine capable of recognizing DNA tumor markers. The basis of the new machine is a mechanism that uses deoxyribozymes to interact with target RNAs. On the results of the first cellular experiments and the future plans of our specialists.
Crohn's disease is a serious illness of the gastrointestinal tract, which is accompanied by acute pain. The causes of this disease are still unknown. To understand how the disease appears and develops, the staff of the ITMO University began to explore the genetic material of the intestinal microflora. About the conclusions in which they came - in our article.
A detailed overview of recent advances in the genetics industry. We are talking with specialists in bioinformatics about GWAS, DNA microchips, probes and searching for rare mutations. We are discussing the results of recent research in the field of gene sequencing and the Human Genome Project. Special attention is paid to the situation on the market of consumer genomics. Let us explain why genetic tests are not always credible.
Material about our developments in the field of biotechnology and functional nutrition. You will learn why camel's milk is more useful than cow's milk, and what is the value of chia seeds for the human body. We will tell about non-traditional raw materials, wild-growing meadow markets, extract of coniferous plants, as well as new ways to extend the shelf life of products.

A selection of recent studies at the intersection of music and health. Scientists have proven that listening to "heavy" music helps young people cope with personal crises. In another study, it turned out that background music in restaurants affects visitors' orders. In addition, music helps to learn languages and contributes to the development of intelligence. You can read more about this in our article.
A story about the Experimental Interactive Design Winter School of Tallinn University. In the process of learning, our undergraduates have developed a number of devices to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Among them: a belt for controlling breathing, a toothbrush that helps to properly brush your teeth, and special pants for squats.

# 10yearschallenge in the world of technology
Inspired by the # 10yearschallenge, we prepared a review of technologies that have changed beyond recognition over the past ten years. We compare the evolution of smartphones, watches, robots and bank cards, talking about mixed reality, IoT and functional nutrition.
Research and Development
The first experiment based on the largest laser facility European XFEL
The European XFEL is a three-kilometer-long laser setup, with which you can solve a number of practical tasks: from developing new data transfer methods to nanomaterial research. University experts conducted a ten-day experiment based on XFEL. We will tell about the results, features of work with nanocrystals and impressions from the process.
