TPU geologists and chemists propose novel naturally-occurring mineral-based material for optoelectronic applications.
In a groundbreaking discovery, a team of researchers, in collaboration with their international counterparts, has unearthed a remarkable photoresponse phenomenon in a two-dimensional semiconductor, arsenic trisulfide (As2S3), sourced from a Russian quarry mineral. This material exhibits a remarkable photoresponse effect even at low light intensities, which opens up prospects for the development of energy-efficient optoelectronic devices.

Andrei Sakharov (1921-1989) worked at MEPhI in 1949-1950.
The father of the Soviet hydrogen bomb, Andrei Sakharov, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1975 for his opposition to the abuse of power and his work for human rights.
Sakharov revealed his talent for theoretical physics at an early age, and got a doctorate in 1945. From 1948 on, under the supervision of the Nobel Laureate Igor Tamm, he worked on the development of a Soviet hydrogen bomb. Sakharov was patriotic, and believed it was important to break the American monopoly on nuclear weapons. But from the late 1950s on, he issued warnings against the consequences of the arms race.

The Asia-Pacific New Materials and Chemistry AES team will collaborate with scientists from major research centers in Asia to produce new materials and chemical compounds in order to meet the Russia’s industrial needs and strengthen its tech leadership.
This new unit of FEFU will be led by a research engineer Maxim Kurakin whose area of expertise lies within collaboration with Russian producers in the research and development field. In his previous role as the project manager of the New Technologies and Materials Science Park at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, he had implemented more than 300 R&D projects with major partners such as Gazprom Neft, TMK, OMK, Severstal and others.

Lev Davidovich Landau (22 January 1908 – 1 April 1968) was a Soviet physicist who made fundamental contributions to many areas of theoretical physics. He was considered as one of the last scientists who were universally well-versed and made seminal contributions to all branches of physics. Landau is credited with laying the foundations of twentieth century condensed matter physics, and is also considered arguably the greatest Soviet theoretical physicist. He was one of the founders of MIPT which today is one of the Open Doors organizing universities.
The goal of the research is to ensure the safety of the Rooppur nuclear power plant in the People's Republic of Bangladesh, the EvrazesNews agency reports.
The nuclear power plant is being constructed according to a Russian project with the participation of the Russian Federation. The research is of high importance due to the fact that the construction area is located in a zone of high seismic activity. Therefore, experts are to implement safe design solutions for nuclear power plant structures that will ensure the mechanical safety, strength and stability of the nuclear power facility.
