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.

From Hong Kong to Moscow: How Students from a Top Asian University Discovered Russia at MISIS

The international summer school Discovering Science, Culture & Education in Russia has concluded, with participants including students and faculty from the University of Hong Kong—one of the world’s leading universities, ranked 17th globally and 2nd in Asia in the QS World University Rankings. The program was designed to introduce students to Russia’s cultural and historical heritage, as well as the university’s infrastructure.

Accuracy — 99.993%: NUST MISIS and INME RAS scientists master the production technology of fluxonium qubits

Researchers from the Laboratory of Superconductor Quantum Technologies at NUST MISIS and the Laboratory of Quantum Technologies at INME RAS have successfully reproduced the technology for fabricating superconducting fluxonium qubits, demonstrating single-qubit operation fidelity of 99.993%. Unlike the more widespread transmon qubits, fluxoniums require a significantly more complex technological process, including the formation of chains of dozens of Josephson junctions.

Quantum Calculations Made 50 Times More Efficient: Russian Scientists Optimize Molecular Simulation Algorithm

Researchers from NUST MISIS and Kazan Federal University have significantly improved quantum algorithms, making it dozens of times faster to study molecules relevant to pharmaceuticals, chemical manufacturing, materials science, energy, and more. The method is already adapted to current quantum hardware capabilities, bringing the industry closer to practical quantum computing applications. By optimizing the variational quantum algorithm, the scientists managed to dramatically reduce the number of quantum operations required for molecular simulations.

Russian-Chinese Business Meeting Held at NUST MISIS

NUST MISIS hosted a Russian-Chinese business meeting titled “Development of Trade-Economic, Investment Cooperation and Collaboration”. The event marked an important step in strengthening professional ties and establishing a constructive dialogue. The two sides discussed prospects for joint research and personnel training for the foundry industry.

NUST MISIS and Vietnam National University Discuss Joint Science and Education Projects

A delegation from the Vietnam National University (VNU) in Hanoi, along with representatives of the Embassy of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in the Russian Federation, visited NUST MISIS to discuss prospects for cooperation in science and education, as well as joint training of specialists. The guests highly appreciated the university’s scientific developments, as well as the advanced equipment of its laboratories and research centers. The official visit took place as part of the events linked to the meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam To Lam, and formed part of broader negotiations on expanding bilateral partnerships.
