NUST MISIS Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs Andrey Voronin and Gao Xiukun, Director of Secondary School No. 1 of the Ordos Urban District (PRC), have signed an agreement to establish a preparatory center in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The event marks a new chapter in training highly qualified professionals for one of China’s key industrial regions and strengthens academic cooperation between the two countries.
Researchers at NUST MISIS have introduced a gel based on the enzyme dextranase that can effectively combat dental plaque and help prevent tooth decay. In the future, the development could improve the formulation of toothpastes and serve as a foundation for new preventive dental care products.
The final stage of the StudRussia competition, one of the key projects bringing together talented international students studying at Russian universities, was held at University of Science and Technology MISIS. The event gathered 112 participants from 76 universities across Russia, representing 22 countries. The Grand Prix and the Best International Student title were awarded to two students. In the Russian-language track, the winner was Darya Gosteva (Kazakhstan), representing St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technologies and Design. In the English-language track, the winner was Gazal Rana (India), a student of Petrozavodsk State University.
In the international sustainability ranking UI GreenMetric, NUST MISIS ranked 33rd in Russia and 1156th globally. This ranking, compiled annually by the University of Indonesia since 2010, includes 1,745 universities from 105 countries around the world.
NUST MISIS hosted the Russia—China Education Festival, a platform for open dialogue and the exchange of best practices among universities, research centers and cultural institutions of both countries. During plenary sessions, panel discussions and master classes, participants discussed current areas of cooperation and strengthened humanitarian ties in education, science and culture.
Researchers at NUST MISIS have discovered the most effective method of processing an aluminum alloy, which allows the material to become three times stronger while maintaining optimal hardness and ductility. In the future, this approach could enable manufacturers to eliminate costly alloying additives, producing lightweight and durable components for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) that retain their properties through multiple work cycles.
Russian scientists have introduced an ultra-sensitive detector capable of detecting individual photons with an efficiency of up to 98%. This development could serve as a foundation for the advancement of quantum computing, secure data transmission, and applications in astronomy and biomedical diagnostics.
The College of Technologies of NUST MISIS has signed a cooperation agreement with the School of Materials and Energy at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC). The two universities plan to strengthen their partnership, establish a joint laboratory or research center, and launch a master’s program in Advanced Materials Science.
Russian scientists have discovered that the interaction of titanium, aluminum, and nitrogen-based materials with molten copper results in the formation of strong and wear-resistant composites. The findings will help create new metal-ceramic materials for use in electrical engineering, aviation, and mechanical engineering.
The decision to launch scientific and technical cooperation was made during the visit of a delegation led by Lieutenant General Vu Ngoc Thiem, Chairman of the Committee for Ciphers under the Government of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, and Nguyen Van Ngoc, Director of Hong Ngoc Integrated Services — JSC “RAISE”.
