Researchers from NUST MISIS and Lomonosov Moscow State University have developed a method that makes it possible to mechanically stimulate specific regions of living brain cells and observe, in real time, how their properties change. The study revealed that neurons and supporting cells of the nervous system respond differently even to extremely weak mechanical stimuli.
Researchers from NUST MISIS, MIPT, Skoltech, the Russian Quantum Center, Lomonosov Moscow State University, and the Steklov Mathematical Institute have proposed a new quantum computing architecture in which special messenger atoms travel between computational qubits, maintaining connections regardless of the distance separating them. The approach paves the way for scalable quantum processors based on Rydberg atoms.
Researchers at NUST MISIS have developed an artificial intelligence algorithm that detects plant diseases from photographs of leaves while performing more reliably under varying lighting conditions, backgrounds, and image geometry.
Professor Kiplagat Kotut, Vice-Chancellor of Moi University, and Masamba Kah, Head of NUST MISIS’s Industrial and Educational Partnership Project with African Countries, held a working meeting during which they signed a cooperation agreement aimed at launching academic mobility programs and jointly training specialists for Kenya’s industrial sector. The signing ceremony took place in Eldoret, Kenya
NUST MISIS and the North China University of Technology (NCUT) have signed a memorandum aimed at advancing cooperation in education and scientific research.
NUST MISIS has opened admissions for its basic and specialized higher education programs, master’s programs, and doctoral studies. Applicants can choose from modern educational tracks, employer-sponsored education opportunities with leading companies, a comprehensive scholarship support system, and well-developed campus infrastructure.
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.
