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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Researchers at NUST MISIS have developed a high-precision nanoelectrode sensor capable of measuring copper ion concentrations in living cells and entire organs in real-time. This innovation opens up new approaches for diagnosing and analyzing the dynamics of cancerous and hereditary diseases. Additionally, the sensor will enable evaluating the effectiveness of novel medications containing copper.
A delegation from the Republic of Namibia, led by the Minister of Higher Education, Training and Innovation, Itah Kandji-Murangi, visited the University on an official trip. Guests and representatives of NUST MISIS discussed promising areas of collaboration and educational initiatives aimed at attracting African students.
RAEX Rating Agency presented a pilot version of the list of the best universities from BRICS countries. NUST MISIS ranked 13th in Russia and 47th among 600 universities from ten member states: Brazil, Egypt, India, Iran, China, the United Arab Emirates, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia, and South Africa. The final ranking included 161 universities from Russia.
Students and graduates of the College of Computer Sciences at NUST MISIS, as part of the “Artomatika” team, presented at the International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) in the United Arab Emirates. They showcased an artist robot that was used to create the largest street mural in the world, painted by an autonomous drone in Novosibirsk.
The 13th meeting of the Working Group on Science and Technology under the Russian-Indian Intergovernmental Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific, Technological and Cultural Cooperation took place at MISIS University. At the meeting, representatives from government organizations, scientists, and industry experts discussed expanding cooperation between the two countries: developing joint educational programs, promoting national languages, implementing fundamental and applied scientific research, conducting joint competitions for research projects, and training Indian students in Russian universities.
Researchers from NUST MISIS, Henan Academy of Sciences, and China University of Mining and Technology are developing coatings that can increase the service life of heat-loaded components in the energy and mechanical engineering industries by several times. The core of these coatings consists of zirconium and molybdenum borides and silicides, which are highly resistant to oxidation. A layer of borosilicate glass applied to the surface creates a self-healing effect, sealing defects and cracks.
The first full-format battery based on hybrid perovskites made entirely from domestic materials and ready for production was shown at NUST MISIS. This next-generation solar panel is cheaper in terms of production costs, with a manufacturing cycle of 8 to 10 hours. It can be installed in private homes or on industrial sites, particularly those prioritizing “green” initiatives. The panel’s design, which connects multiple sub-cells, allows for high-power generation even in shaded and cloudy conditions. This breakthrough opens new possibilities for harnessing solar energy, even in the Arctic and Far North.
For the seventh time, Russia is hosting Open Doors: Russian Scholarship Project, co-organized by NUST MISIS. As before, students from around the world can apply early and continue their education for free at the master’s or doctoral levels, and this year, also at the bachelor’s level at one of Russia’s and the world’s leading universities. This year’s new addition is the postdoctoral track, which allows young researchers to secure a research position in a scientific project.
Meeting of the BRICS Science, Technology and Innovation Funding Working Group took place at MISIS University. The event focused on the results of the 6th BRICS STI Framework Programme and the mechanisms for supporting various projects. The meeting was organized with the support of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, NUST MISIS, the Russian Center for Scientific Information, and the International Center for Innovations in Science, Technology and Education (ICISTE).
A delegation from the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) and the Jawaharlal Nehru Aluminium Research Development and Design Centre (JNARDDC) visited NUST MISIS to discuss prospects for collaboration in the fields of mining and electrometallurgy. The guests were introduced to the University’s advanced developments and laboratory infrastructure. Both parties expressed interest in joint research projects.
