A new method for studying composites allows for the detection of emerging defects in materials

Russian scientists have developed an innovative approach to studying the structure of composite materials that changes under external influence in real time. This methodology provides important data from miniature samples, which can now be tested in a scanning electron microscope chamber. The results obtained are used for reliable strength calculations, which will save costs in the production and testing of automotive and aerospace components.

100 million times faster: Russian scientists speed up nanotube-based detectors

In Russia, a super-fast integrated optical detector has been presented that can be adapted for various tasks — from telecommunications and thermal imagers to medical biosensors, security systems, and astronomical instruments. The device detects weak infrared signals in an integrated-optical chip 100 million times faster than its analogues and updates data more than one billion times per second, making it one of the fastest in its class.

Friendship across continents: NUST MISIS strengthens partnership with Africa

NUST MISIS participated in the IV International Youth Forum "Russia-Africa: Nuclear Education — Potential for Successful Regional Development. At the RUDN University’s venue, leading experts from Russia, Mali, Namibia, and Tanzania discussed the results of research and the implementation of atomic technologies in the fields of energy, medicine, agronomy, and ecology. Representatives from leading partner universities of the State Atomic Energy Corporation Rosatom moderated the sessions. This year, for the first time, works were presented in a new section — “Geology and Mining”, featuring speakers from the University.

MISIS University at III Future Technologies Forum

NUST MISIS scientists showcased the results of their cutting-edge research at III Future Technologies Forum. The event brought together 1,800 participants from 19 countries. University experts, along with representatives of business and government, discussed the technological and scientific priorities of the industry, investments in ongoing projects, workforce training, and more. Leading Russian corporations, high-tech businesses, and research organizations presented their latest technological advancements at the exhibition.

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.

NUST MISIS improves its position in Times Higher Education rankings by subject

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.

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.

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.

Cooperation

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.
