Russian researchers have found that changes in the “glow” of pigment in retinal cells can be used to detect damage at very early stages, long before serious vision impairment occurs. The scientists also showed how antioxidants slow these processes by reducing the levels of toxic products of photodamage.
Undergraduate and graduate students from IMUST studying metallurgy, materials science, mechanical engineering, mining, automation, and applied statistics took part in an intensive educational and cultural program focused on modern technologies, Russian science, and intercultural communication. The delegation was headed by Sun Yanbai. For NUST MISIS, cooperation with IMUST is part of its strategic effort to expand partnerships with Chinese universities and strengthen collaboration in engineering education and applied science.
NUST MISIS and Anhui Institute of Information Technology (AIIT) have signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at developing cooperation in education and research. During the visit of the Chinese delegation, the parties discussed joint research projects, professional development programs for faculty members, as well as student training in the fields of artificial intelligence and digital technologies.
The university hosted the student festival “Nationalities Day” under the slogan “I Hear the Origins of Peoples,” bringing together more than 20 student associations that showcased the culture, traditions, and arts of their countries. The event has been held at the university since 2013. This year, it took place as part of the Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia, announced by the President of the Russian Federation.
Russian scientists have improved the heat resistance of perovskite solar cells by incorporating special organic molecules (TPA-Py) into the material to stabilize its structure. As a result, the devices’ effective operating time at high temperatures of 80°C increased from 260 to more than 700 hours. This marks an important step toward the development of affordable and durable next-generation solar panels.
Scientists have proposed a new method for creating metal molds for powder metallurgy applications—without welding or expensive 3D printing. The development opens up new possibilities for producing parts with complex geometries. The approach based on cold spray deposition may find applications in the aerospace industry, energy sector, and mechanical engineering.
NUST MISIS presented its cutting-edge developments at the 30th International Exhibition of Machines and Equipment for Mining, Processing, and Transportation of Minerals, MiningWorld Russia. The event brought together representatives of more than 550 Russian and international manufacturers and suppliers of specialized equipment.
Experts from MISIS University took part in the International Industrial Exhibition INNOPROM. Central Asia in Tashkent. During the event, the university delegation signed three cooperation agreements with international partners and presented developments in new energy technologies, materials science, and environmentally sustainable solutions.
The new issues present results of current research in materials science, metallurgy, and industrial economics, covering both fundamental and applied areas.
Researchers at NUST MISIS have identified an improved alloy composition and processing method for the more cost-effective and efficient production of permanent magnets used in energy, electrical engineering, and transportation systems.
MISIS University has signed a cooperation agreement with the Indian Institute of Information Technology Dharwad (IIIT Dharwad). The primary focus of the partnership will be the development of student exchange programs in UX/UI design, based at the Department of Computer-Aided Design and Engineering at MISIS and the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at IIIT Dharwad.
The South African Department of Higher Education and Training has selected NUST MISIS as a strategic partner for African educational institutions to help strengthen their integration with industry.
As part of the 11th meeting of the Intergovernmental Russian-Namibian Commission on Trade and Economic Cooperation, held in Windhoek, NUST MISIS presented its experience in implementing joint educational programs with the participation of African industry partner
Researchers at NUST MISIS have patented a hybrid aluminum-based composite designed for structural components of aircraft, compressor blades, turbine disks of jet engines, air intakes, and other parts operating under peak loads. The material combines strength, light weight, and resistance to high temperatures.
Researchers at NUST MISIS have developed a machine learning algorithm that improves data classification accuracy in quantum computers. Instead of qubits, which are standard for quantum computing, the new method uses qudits, quantum elements with multiple levels of states. They enable complex quantum operations to be performed in fewer steps, significantly simplifying computations and giving specialists greater flexibility in representing and encoding information.
Researchers from MISIS University and Research Institute of Advanced Materials and Technologies (RIAMT) have developed a new method for producing carbon materials from cotton waste, reducing the processing time to just a few minutes instead of the usual one and a half hours. The materials obtained using this approach can be used in supercapacitors — devices designed for rapid energy storage and release that are widely used in electronics, transport, and energy storage systems.
