On the request of PAO Severstal, one of the world`s largest metallurgical steel companies, NUST MISIS scientists have developed a new alloy called SeverCorr for oil-field pipelines that reduces the environmental risks of oil production and increases its efficiency.
From July 30th to August 3rd, 2018, Russia`s first international conference devoted to quantum superconducting processors, which are vital for quantum computers—"superweapons" in the world of information technology—was held in Moscow.
A joint research team from the A.N. Frumkin Institute of Physical Chemistry & Electrochemistry (RAS), NUST MISIS, and MIPT, as well as participants from several other research centers, have described the biophysical principles of influenza’s infiltration into the body’s cells. The researchers have created a theoretical model describing the mechanical properties of the lipid membranes of both the virus and the targeted cells, making it possible to connect the mechanisms of membranes with cell resistance. A series of three articles (1, 2, 3) containing the new research have been published in special editions of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences.
The “Green” Concrete Technology project has named the winner of the “New Materials” category at the “Sirius” educational center in Sochi. The winning team of high school students developed an energy-efficient method of producing high-quality concrete from waste metallurgy for civil and road construction. This is the second time that NUST MISIS together with Russia`s leading metallurgical companies has organized the “New Materials” category as part of the “Big Challenges” educational shift.
Scientists from NUST MISIS and colleagues from the University of Bayreuth, the University of Münster (Germany), the University of Chicago (U.S.), and Linköping University (Sweden) have created nitrides, a material previously considered impossible to obtain. More amazing, they have shown that the material can be obtained using a very simple method of direct synthesis. Articles about the revolutionary research results have been published in Nature Communications and Angew Chem Int Ed.
A research team from the NUST MISIS Laboratory of Superconducting Metamaterials led by Alexey Basharin, Senior Lecturer and Candidate of Technical Sciences, has developed a metamaterial-dielectric that has unique characteristics and is easy to manufacture. This ease of access will allow researchers to use it to create the latest optical devices. The research results were published in Laser&Photonics Reviews.
NUST MISIS together with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) have conducted a panel discussion at the Moscow Urban Forum, “Megapolis and University: Investment Model of Partnership”. Martin Hinoul, an international expert in the field of science & investment and the Business Development Director of the Research and Development Center at K.U. Leuven, was invited by NUST MISIS to be a special guest at the event.
For the second year in a row, NUST MISIS has been ranked in the Global Ranking of Academic Subjects (ARWU). According to ARWU-2018, NUST MISIS is in the TOP-100 in two categories: Metallurgical Engineering and Mining & Mineral Engineering. For Mining, the university was in the
NUST MISIS and PAO Severstal, one of world`s major vertically-integrated steel and mining companies, have signed a cooperation agreement to implement joint projects and create the Green Metallurgy Center.
A group of NUST MISIS engineers has presented a unique prototype of a target to be installed for the SHiP experiment (Search for Hidden Particles) at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research). SHiP`s aim is to discover three possible fundamental particles — heavy neutral leptons.
Researchers from the NUST MISIS Center of Composite Materials and Biomimetix have demonstrated how their sandwich-panel development absorbs physical pressure. The punching process was recorded by a special camera that shoots video at a speed of 30,000 frames per second.
NUST MISIS scientists have applied the method of cryothermal processing to metal glasses and have figured out how it will help glass to become more flexible without losing its original durability. The research article is published in “NPG Asia Materials”.
NUST MISIS, JSC “Mining Financial Company” (GPFC), and OJSC “BELAZ” have signed a trilateral cooperation agreement focused on increasing collaboration in the fields of science and education.
