Polymeric regeneration: biodegradable material to aid bone tissue restoration

Researchers at NUST MISIS have developed a dental membrane with an antibacterial coating, which has the potential to restore jaw bone tissue. The product is created using a 3D printer, personalized to the specific damage of patients. After the polymer framework is implanted at the injury site, the necessary tissues grow on it, and the structure safely dissolves after a few months. The chosen polymer does not cause acidification of the defect area, which can slow down or even halt the regeneration process. Unlike existing non-resorbable analogs, the biodegradable membrane does not require a second surgical intervention for removal.

Proven Leadership: MISIS University Ranked Top 15 in Digital Economy

NUST MISIS secured 12th place in the Digital Economy University Ranking, compiled by the autonomous non-profit organization Digital Economy with support from the Association of Computer and IT Enterprises. The study assessed 304 Russian universities across 69 IT-related specializations.

The ranking agency Times Higher Education has published a list of the best universities in the world across various subject areas. In 2025, NUST MISIS entered the list of leading universities in computer science for the first time. It ranked in the top 28% of universities worldwide in physical sciences and the top 41% in engineering. The ranking was based on five criteria: teaching, research environment, research quality, industry, and international outlook.

Students and schoolchildren from Hong Kong got to know MISIS University

NUST MISIS, at the invitation of the Consulate General of the Russian Federation, participated in the Education & Careers Expo 2025 in Hong Kong, where it presented information about educational programs and opportunities for studying in Russia for foreign citizens.

At NUST MISIS, a new electrode for nerve tissue stimulation has been developed

Scientists at the MISIS University have patented a composite biocompatible microelectrode that can be used for electrical stimulation of nerve tissue. It is applicable in locating epilepsy foci in the brain and stimulating peripheral nerves to alleviate phantom pain. It will also be useful in studying spinal cord tissue regeneration.

NUST MISIS improves alloy properties for orthopedic implants

Researchers at the NUST MISIS have enhanced the processing method for a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy used in hip joint implants, pins, plates, and other biomedical products. This approach improves the material’s strength characteristics while maintaining a stable level of plasticity.

A new composite for nuclear fusion reactors is being developed at NUST MISIS

Scientists from NUST MISIS and JSC “NIIEFA” have demonstrated how to produce a bimetallic material using hybrid additive manufacturing. Composites made of tungsten and copper with enhanced properties are used for plasma-facing components (PFCs) in nuclear fusion reactors. Research has shown that the thermophysical and mechanical characteristics of the tungsten-copper composite are comparable to those made using traditional methods. However, hybrid additive technologies can achieve more efficient heat dissipation and increase thermal cycling resources due to the proposed design of the tungsten-copper composite.

Vietnamese Universities Show Interest in Collaborating with NUST MISIS

At the “Russian Universities—The Best Choice” educational fair in Vietnam, NUST MISIS reached cooperation agreements with three universities.

NUST MISIS entered top 6% of the best universities in the world for international students

The international platform Study Abroad Aide has published a ranking of the best universities for international students. NUST MISIS ranked 6th among 329 Russian universities and 506th globally among 8,536 institutions.

Building material from waste: Advanced gypsum to replace natural gypsum

An international team of scientists has presented an eco-friendly and economically viable technology for recycling waste lime and sulfuric acid into a high-quality construction material. This substance can be used to create a stronger and moisture-resistant cement that also sets faster. The new method is characterized by simplicity, significantly lower material costs compared to traditional technologies, and greater energy efficiency. It requires only 40°C instead of the usual 700-900°C.

MISIS University student wins international YouRussia competition

Akintobi Tosin Emmanuel, a master’s student in Science and Materials of Solar Energy at NUST MISIS, has won the international competition for young opinion leaders and media-active youth, YouRussia. The contest is organized by the State Corporation “Rosatom” and the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI among international students studying at the foundation universities of the corporation.

NUST MISIS establishes new academic partnerships in Vietnam

Dmitry Vasilev, Director of International Affairs at MISIS University established cooperation with representatives of regional authorities from several provinces in Vietnam as part of an official delegation from Russia. The purpose of the trip was to promote domestic education in remote regions of the republic, where access to information is still limited. The organizer was the Embassy of Vietnam in the Russian Federation.

New neuroimplant is one step closer to spinal cord injury patients

Researchers at NUST MISIS have patented a neuroimplant that will help restore damaged nerve tissues in the spinal cord. The structure consists of two layers: a biodegradable polymer and special fibers that can be filled with medications targeting damaged nerve tissues in the spinal cord and accelerating healing. Obtaining the patent confirms the high inventive level of the product and brings closer the possibility of launching production of the neuroimplant to assist people.

International сonference “Cultura Unida” gathered over 550 participants

The III International Conference “Cultura Unida” was held at NUST MISIS, bringing together more than 550 participants. Over three days, speakers from Russia, China, Cuba, Uruguay, and other countries discussed issues related to expressing identity through the culture of Latin American countries, as well as current problems in Spanish language studies. The event was organized by the Department of Foreign Languages and Communication Technologies at NUST MISIS, along with partner universities from Latin America. The honorary guests of the event included the ambassadors of Brazil and Peru.

A material that retains its strength in extreme cold conditions has been developed at NUST MISIS

Scientists from NUST MISIS, in collaboration with colleagues from the China University of Mining and Technology, have introduced a composite made from a combination of metal and metallic glass. This material is capable of maintaining its strength and ductility at temperatures as low as −195.75°C (−320,35°F) due to a self-heating effect. In the future, this development could help extend the lifespan of aerospace vehicles and equipment designed for operation in Arctic conditions.

Reaching for the Stars: Ultra-Sensitive Detectors for Space Exploration

Thanks to new detectors developed at the MISIS University, researchers can now obtain more comprehensive and precise maps of celestial bodies, accelerating scientific progress. These domestically produced superconducting devices operate near absolute zero, at temperatures below 1 Kelvin, and effectively process data due to their exceptionally low thermodynamic noise.
