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.
