Building material from waste: Advanced gypsum to replace natural gypsum

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.

MISIS University student wins international YouRussia competition

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.

Cooperation

NUST MISIS establishes new academic partnerships in Vietnam

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.

New neuroimplant is one step closer to spinal cord injury patients

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.

International сonference “Cultura Unida” gathered over 550 participants

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.

A material that retains its strength in extreme cold conditions has been developed at NUST MISIS

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.

Reaching for the Stars: Ultra-Sensitive Detectors for Space Exploration

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.

Universal nanobiosensor to aid in early disease diagnosis

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.

Unidentified Object: How the “Doubtful” Neural Network SDDE Processes Images More Accurately than Its Counterparts

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.

Artist drone presented at robotics conference in Abu Dhabi

Students and graduates of the College of Computer Sciences at NUST MISIS, as part of the “Artomatika” team, presented at the International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) in the United Arab Emirates. They showcased an artist robot that was used to create the largest street mural in the world, painted by an autonomous drone in Novosibirsk.

Discussion on Expanding Scientific and Technical Cooperation Between India and Russia at NUST MISIS

The 13th meeting of the Working Group on Science and Technology under the Russian-Indian Intergovernmental Commission on Trade, Economic, Scientific, Technological and Cultural Cooperation took place at MISIS University. At the meeting, representatives from government organizations, scientists, and industry experts discussed expanding cooperation between the two countries: developing joint educational programs, promoting national languages, implementing fundamental and applied scientific research, conducting joint competitions for research projects, and training Indian students in Russian universities.

Scientists Develop Protective Coatings for Energy and Mechanical Engineering Sectors

Researchers from NUST MISIS, Henan Academy of Sciences, and China University of Mining and Technology are developing coatings that can increase the service life of heat-loaded components in the energy and mechanical engineering industries by several times. The core of these coatings consists of zirconium and molybdenum borides and silicides, which are highly resistant to oxidation. A layer of borosilicate glass applied to the surface creates a self-healing effect, sealing defects and cracks.

The first full-format domestic solar panel presented at the MISIS University

The first full-format battery based on hybrid perovskites made entirely from domestic materials and ready for production was shown at NUST MISIS. This next-generation solar panel is cheaper in terms of production costs, with a manufacturing cycle of 8 to 10 hours. It can be installed in private homes or on industrial sites, particularly those prioritizing “green” initiatives. The panel’s design, which connects multiple sub-cells, allows for high-power generation even in shaded and cloudy conditions. This breakthrough opens new possibilities for harnessing solar energy, even in the Arctic and Far North.
