Scientists Developed an Efficient Way to Produce Low-Cost Heatsinks
NUST MISIS scientists found a way to reduce the cost of industrial and electronics heatsinks production up to 10 times. Consequently, the product itself would also cost less. The proposed methods presume the use of rubbers and silicon carbide as components, i.e. these components are mixed, pressed and sintered. The article on the research is published in Polymers.

Russian Scientists Develop World Most-Sensitive Photon Video Detector
Scientists from NUST MISIS National Technological Initiative Center “Quantum Communications” are developing the world’s first prototype of an infrared photon video detector. This will be a camera so powerful that it would be able to track the movement of single particles. The camera will be equipped with a

Scientists Discover New Remarkable Materials Properties at Ultrahigh Pressure
An international team of scientists from NUST MISIS (Russia), Linköping University (Sweden) and University of Bayreuth (Germany) found that, contrary to the usual physical and chemical laws, the structure of some materials does not condense at ultrahigh pressures. Actually, it forms a porous framework filled with gas molecules. This happened with samples of Os, Hf, and W put together with N in a diamond anvil at a pressure of one million atmospheres. The discovery is described in Angewandte Chemie.

Ash from Power Stations To Be Processed into Reagents for Water Purification
Russian metallurgists proposed to dissolve the ash waste of thermal power stations with hydrochloric acid at high pressure. The resulting compounds can be used for water treatment at water utilities and thermal power stations themselves. The method has already shown effective deposition of impurities in water from Moskva river. The description of the technology is published by scientists from NUST MISIS and a number of other universities in Journal Cleaner Production. The research is funded Russian science Foundation under the Presidential Program for Research Projects.

NUST MISIS Students Develop a “Phantom” Brain for Neurosurgical Practice
A team of NUST MISIS students developed a “phantom” of the human brain, i.e. a hydrogel model with structural and mechanical similarity to a real organ. “Fantomozg” (en: Phantombrain) will allow students and neurosurgeons to study the pathological anatomy of tissues and train in complicated surgical manipulations.
