For Desmond Osaguona Uyi from Nigeria, winning the Open Doors International Olympiad was an opportunity to pursue his academic ambitions at NUST MISIS with a full tuition scholarship. In this interview, he shares how he prepared for the competition, explains what helped him tackle its most challenging stage, and reflects on the differences between university life in Nigeria and Russia.
Until 1 November 2026, young foreign nationals and stateless persons, including compatriots living abroad, who wish to study or conduct research at Russian universities can register for the International Open Doors Olympiad.
In an interview with NUST MISIS, Soheil Seif from Iran, a winner of the Open Doors International Olympiad, shares his journey to studying in Russia. He talks about his academic background, how he prepared for the competition, and the opportunities it opened up for his research career. Soheil also explains why he chose NUST MISIS, describes his first impressions of Moscow, and offers advice to students considering taking part in the Olympiad.
Researchers at MISIS University have used algorithms to improve the performance of giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) sensors designed to detect microcracks and defects in buildings. Their new mathematical model automatically compensates for measurement errors, improving accuracy by more than
Russian scientists have identified the most promising material for manufacturing photonic chips that manipulate light directly on the chip itself. The technology could enable photonic memory, fully optical neuromorphic networks, and other devices for transmitting and processing information.
To improve mine degassing planning and assess methane emission risks, Russian researchers have identified the models that are most effective for estimating coal seam permeability under changing stress conditions.
Scientists at NUST MISIS have developed a system that will make it possible to inspect industrial equipment at oil refineries without interrupting production. The system is based on muography, a non-invasive method for determining the internal structure of objects by measuring the attenuation of a natural muon flux using detectors.
A formal ceremony marking the start of studies for Chinese students enrolled in the joint Master’s program in Materials Science and Technology offered by NUST MISIS and the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC) took place at UESTC in Chengdu.
Scientists at NUST MISIS have patented special granules designed to repair damaged bone tissue. The material is based on a compound whose composition is similar to the mineral component of bone. By incorporating strontium and silver ions, the new material promotes integration with surrounding tissues and exhibits antibacterial activity. The granule production technology also makes it possible to control the rate at which the material gradually dissolves in the body.
Researchers at NUST MISIS have presented a mathematical method that makes it possible to assess in advance how reliably artificial intelligence can use knowledge acquired while solving one task to perform another. The development is based on a new theorem that makes it possible to formally prove under which conditions knowledge transfer between machine learning models will be reliable.
Representatives of NUST MISIS visited leading Chinese universities as part of efforts to develop educational and research cooperation, with student academic mobility remaining a key focus. The delegation included Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs Andrey Voronin and Olga Kim, Adviser of the Rectorate for International Affairs. They visited Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology (IMUST) in Baotou, Peking University and the University of Science and Technology Beijing (USTB).
Scientists at NUST MISIS have developed an aluminum-based metal powder that is five times more ductile than existing alternatives while matching them in strength. Products made from the alloy retain their properties when heated to 300°C, making the material a promising solution for the aerospace, automotive, and energy industries
The University of Science and Technology MISIS hosted a working meeting between representatives of Rosatom and the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology (VAST). The parties agreed to develop a roadmap to identify new areas for bilateral scientific and technological cooperation in quantum technologies.
Scientists at MISIS University have investigated how bone implants made from biodegradable composite materials behave after implantation. To do so, they studied the properties of 3D-printed polylactide-based materials containing different fillers under conditions designed to mimic the human body.
A delegation from Samarkand State Medical University (Uzbekistan), led by Rector Jasur Rizaev, visited NUST MISIS. Following the meeting, the heads of the two universities signed a memorandum of understanding to implement joint research and educational projects.
Russian researchers have improved an anti-scatter grid for
