NUST MISIS develops unique equipment for applying antibacterial coatings to surgical threads

Specialists at NUST MISIS, together with the LIFT Research Center, have created a new system for coating surgical threads with antibacterial compounds. The joint project, aimed at developing medical suturing materials capable of gradually releasing embedded drugs, is being carried out with the support of Gazprombank under the Priority-2030 program.

Russian scientists develop a biocompatible titanium alloy with superelasticity using 3D printing

Using an advanced technology developed at NUST MISIS in collaboration with Canadian colleagues, researchers for the first time have achieved superelasticity in a biocompatible titanium alloy for orthopedic implants produced via 3D printing. The technology is already patented and has the potential to provide an effective replacement for damaged bone tissue.

NUST MISIS and Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology signed a cooperation agreement

At the invitation of the Ministry of Education of Inner Mongolia (China), delegation of NUST MISIS took part in the international conference on educational cooperation development — Inner Mongolia Conference on High Quality Development of Educational Opening Up. During the event, the university signed a cooperation agreement with the Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology.

A New Practice Format for NUST MISIS Linguistics Students: PR Support for Medical Events

Master’s students of the English-taught program Communication and International Public Relations at NUST MISIS regularly participate in socially significant projects. For the first time, they gained unique hands-on experience collaborating with the medical community and the media by providing PR support for a heartwarming meeting of a bone marrow donor and recipient. The event was held with the support of the National Bone Marrow Donor Registry named after Vasya Perevoshchikov.

A chip that can “smell”: photons to help detect hazardous gas molecules

Russian researchers have developed a new method for creating highly accurate miniature detectors capable of sensing gas molecules — from acetone vapors to toxic compounds. The core of the technology is a layer of nanoscale spheres that condense gas molecules like a sponge, while a photonic integrated circuit detects changes caused by the gas. These versatile detectors can quickly identify industrial leaks, monitor urban air quality, and even assist in diagnosing diabetes.

Disappears Without a Trace: Scientists Improve Alloy for Temporary Implants

Russian scientists have developed a new biodegradable iron-based alloy with promising applications in orthopedics, oncology, and veterinary medicine. By adding silicon and applying high pressure during processing, they managed to nearly double the alloy’s dissolution rate. With further implementation in medical practice, the material could fully dissolve in the body within 1–2 years, eliminating the need for a second surgery.
