NUST MISIS, at the invitation of the Consulate General of the Russian Federation, participated in the Education & Careers Expo 2025 in Hong Kong, where it presented information about educational programs and opportunities for studying in Russia for foreign citizens.
Scientists at the MISIS University have patented a composite biocompatible microelectrode that can be used for electrical stimulation of nerve tissue. It is applicable in locating epilepsy foci in the brain and stimulating peripheral nerves to alleviate phantom pain. It will also be useful in studying spinal cord tissue regeneration.
Researchers at the NUST MISIS have enhanced the processing method for a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy used in hip joint implants, pins, plates, and other biomedical products. This approach improves the material’s strength characteristics while maintaining a stable level of plasticity.
Scientists from NUST MISIS and JSC “NIIEFA” have demonstrated how to produce a bimetallic material using hybrid additive manufacturing. Composites made of tungsten and copper with enhanced properties are used for plasma-facing components (PFCs) in nuclear fusion reactors. Research has shown that the thermophysical and mechanical characteristics of the tungsten-copper composite are comparable to those made using traditional methods. However, hybrid additive technologies can achieve more efficient heat dissipation and increase thermal cycling resources due to the proposed design of the tungsten-copper composite.
At the “Russian Universities—The Best Choice” educational fair in Vietnam, NUST MISIS reached cooperation agreements with three universities.
The international platform Study Abroad Aide has published a ranking of the best universities for international students. NUST MISIS ranked 6th among 329 Russian universities and 506th globally among 8,536 institutions.
An international team of scientists has presented an eco-friendly and economically viable technology for recycling waste lime and sulfuric acid into a high-quality construction material. This substance can be used to create a stronger and moisture-resistant cement that also sets faster. The new method is characterized by simplicity, significantly lower material costs compared to traditional technologies, and greater energy efficiency. It requires only 40°C instead of the usual 700-900°C.
Akintobi Tosin Emmanuel, a master’s student in Science and Materials of Solar Energy at NUST MISIS, has won the international competition for young opinion leaders and media-active youth, YouRussia. The contest is organized by the State Corporation “Rosatom” and the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI among international students studying at the foundation universities of the corporation.
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.
Students from the MISIS University and Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, in collaboration with researchers from the T-Bank AI Research Lab, have introduced a new ensemble neural network called SDDE (Saliency Diversified Deep Ensembles) that can identify objects in previously unregistered images with greater accuracy than similar networks. This innovation has promising applications in fields like autonomous vehicles and medical diagnostics, where the ability to distinguish unidentified elements and graphic artifacts is crucial. The researchers presented their work in October at the ICIP 2024 International Conference on Image Processing in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
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.
