Scientists at NUST MISIS have introduced detectors capable of registering the slightest changes in skin temperature — one of the earliest signs of inflammatory processes. The new devices are more sensitive than conventional ones, easily distinguishing necessary terahertz signals from noise. These detectors could form the basis for a new thermal skin mapping technology.
Researchers from NUST MISIS, Aramco Innovations (Moscow), and EXPEC Advanced Research Center (Saudi Arabia) have presented an innovative nanomaterial capable of absorbing record amounts of hydrogen, making it a promising candidate for next-generation energy storage. This lightweight, safe, and durable material could be used to create portable batteries for electric vehicles, heating, ventilation, air conditioning systems, and other applications.
A model of a “smart” composite material that enables controlled drug release has been proposed by Russian scientists from five leading universities in the country. This solution could be in demand for implementing delayed therapy approaches, where a drug loaded into the composite is not released immediately but after a certain time and in the required dosage. Activating the process only requires a single application of a magnetic field, such as those generated by modern medical tomographs.
Scientists of NUST MISIS and the Enikolopov Institute of Synthetic Polymer Materials of Russian Academy of Sciences (ISPM RAS) have developed perovskite photodiodes based on thin films with enhanced response speed and detection range for medical equipment, telecommunications, and security systems.
