NUST MISIS Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs Andrey Voronin and Vice President of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) Luo Guangchun have signed an agreement to launch a joint Master’s degree program in Materials Science and Technology.
Russian researchers have discovered that laser 3D-printing parameters can directly influence the properties of a nickel—titanium shape memory alloy. The scientists demonstrated that by adjusting laser power and scanning speed, it is possible to “program” the material’s behavior in advance, including the temperature at which it recovers its shape and the degree of its elasticity. The findings open new opportunities for the development of advanced medical implants, miniature actuators, and components for 4D printing.
The final round of the Student League of the International Engineering Championship CASE-IN was held at NUST MISIS, bringing together 208 teams from Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Brazil, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Ethiopia, and South Africa. 36 teams became prize winners for presenting the most effective engineering solutions aimed at achieving full digitalization in key industries, as well as implementing artificial intelligence and digital twins. Students from MISIS University earned one silver and two bronze awards.
Alevtina Chernikova, Rector of NUST MISIS, presented the concept for the digital transformation of the mining and metallurgical industries of the CIS member states at the meeting of the Council of Heads of Government of the Commonwealth of Independent States held in Ashgabat. The concept was reviewed and officially adopted for implementation.
Researchers at NUST MISIS have synthesized mesoporous cobalt ferrite nanoparticles capable of absorbing different organic dyes depending on the size of their pores. The development opens up new possibilities for treating industrial wastewater without the need for additional chemical modification of the sorbent. One of the material’s key advantages is that it retains its effectiveness even after repeated cycles of use.
Russian researchers have found that changes in the “glow” of pigment in retinal cells can be used to detect damage at very early stages, long before serious vision impairment occurs. The scientists also showed how antioxidants slow these processes by reducing the levels of toxic products of photodamage.
Undergraduate and graduate students from IMUST studying metallurgy, materials science, mechanical engineering, mining, automation, and applied statistics took part in an intensive educational and cultural program focused on modern technologies, Russian science, and intercultural communication. The delegation was headed by Sun Yanbai. For NUST MISIS, cooperation with IMUST is part of its strategic effort to expand partnerships with Chinese universities and strengthen collaboration in engineering education and applied science.
NUST MISIS and Anhui Institute of Information Technology (AIIT) have signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at developing cooperation in education and research. During the visit of the Chinese delegation, the parties discussed joint research projects, professional development programs for faculty members, as well as student training in the fields of artificial intelligence and digital technologies.
Researchers at MISIS University have patented an aluminum alloy for electronics and electric vehicles. By precisely tuning its composition and heat-treatment parameters, the material can achieve an optimal combination of properties.
The university hosted the student festival “Nationalities Day” under the slogan “I Hear the Origins of Peoples,” bringing together more than 20 student associations that showcased the culture, traditions, and arts of their countries. The event has been held at the university since 2013. This year, it took place as part of the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia, announced by the President of the Russian Federation.
Russian scientists have improved the heat resistance of perovskite solar cells by incorporating special organic molecules (TPA-Py) into the material to stabilize its structure. As a result, the devices’ effective operating time at high temperatures of 80°C increased from 260 to more than 700 hours. This marks an important step toward the development of affordable and durable next-generation solar panels.
Scientists have proposed a new method for creating metal molds for powder metallurgy applications—without welding or expensive 3D printing. The development opens up new possibilities for producing parts with complex geometries. The approach based on cold spray deposition may find applications in the aerospace industry, energy sector, and mechanical engineering.
NUST MISIS presented its cutting-edge developments at the 30th International Exhibition of Machines and Equipment for Mining, Processing, and Transportation of Minerals, MiningWorld Russia. The event brought together representatives of more than 550 Russian and international manufacturers and suppliers of specialized equipment.
Experts from MISIS University took part in the International Industrial Exhibition INNOPROM. Central Asia in Tashkent. During the event, the university delegation signed three cooperation agreements with international partners and presented developments in new energy technologies, materials science, and environmentally sustainable solutions.
The new issues present results of current research in materials science, metallurgy, and industrial economics, covering both fundamental and applied areas.
Researchers at NUST MISIS have identified an improved alloy composition and processing method for the more cost-effective and efficient production of permanent magnets used in energy, electrical engineering, and transportation systems.
