NUST MISIS is listed among the world`s best universities according to “The Three University Missions Ranking”, which assesses the totality of universities’ educational, scientific and social achievements. NUST MISIS was ranked 232nd overall and 11th among Russian universities.
NUST MISIS is excited to announce admission to PhD studies for international applicants to study and work as a researcher-engineer at one of the University`s best laboratories. All PhD students will be provided with accommodation in The Commune House — recognized as one of Russia`s best student dormitories.
A research team of physicists from NUST MISIS, the Ural Branch of RAS (Russia), Tel Aviv University (Israel), the University of Bayreuth (Germany), and Linkoping University (Sweden), have discovered a completely new explanation for a generally accepted physical hypothesis — the phase transition insulator metal — described by Sir Nevill Francis Mott in 1949. New and unexpected properties of materials discovered in the study will be in demand in microelectronics and geophysics as catalysts and sensors: the research results have been published in the prestigious international journal Physical Review X.
The use of bionic design and additive technologies can reduce aircraft weight by almost a ton.
NUST MISIS scientists together with their colleagues from the Central Metallurgical R&D Institute (Cairo, Egypt) have developed a composite material which will extend the life of solar towers — installations for collecting Solar thermal energy — from
An international team of physicists and materials scientists from NUST MISIS, Bayerisches Geoinstitut (Germany), Linkoping University (Sweden), and the California Institute of Technology (U.S.) has discovered an “impossible” modification of silica-coesite-IV and coasite-V materials, which shouldn’t exist if modern laws of Chemistry are correct. Their structure is an exception to the generally accepted rules for the formation of chemical bonds in inorganic materials formulated by Linus Pauling, who won the 1954 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for that discovery. The research results were published in the international scientific journal Nature Communications on November 15th, 2018.
Materials scientists from NUST MISIS led by Professor Larisa Panina, Doctor of Physical & Mathematical Sciences, have demonstrated that microwires based on magnetic amorphous metals can be used for embedded temperature sensors. The impedance (complex resistance) of such materials is very sensitive to temperature fluctuations, and its behavior at different frequencies can significantly vary. The research paper has been published in the Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials.
Professor Anvar Zakhidov from NUST MISIS is one of the most cited Russian scientists according to Scopus. The information & analytical company Elsevier, which specializes in science and medicine, announced the names of the most cited scientists according to Scopus’s abstracts and citations from the peer-reviewed scientific literature database. The list includes 19 Russian scientists.
On November 8th, 2018, the World Research Excellence Summit, organized by NUST MISIS together with the Times Higher Education, the world`s leading educational ranking agency, started at NUST MISIS.
The NUST MISIS Big Data Research Center is launching IRELA, a platform for the analysis of big data. The new Data Science platform is not focused on a specific industry and due to its multi-modularity, can be easily integrated into the IT-landscape of any field of activity. IRELA also has a multilingual search function, which is unique for the Russian market.
On October 26th, 2018, NUST MISIS presented the University`s development strategy at the meeting of the Council on Global Competitiveness Enhancement of Russian Universities among Global Leading Research and Education Centers (a.k.a. Project
Materials scientists from NUST MISIS and the Merzhanov Institute of Structural Macrokinetics & Materials Science have developed a new method for producing bulk MAX-phases — layered materials which simultaneously possess the properties of metals and ceramics. By combining the methods of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis and high-temperature shear deformation, it was possible to obtain sufficiently large samples of mixed titanium and aluminum carbide, which in the future can be used as high-temperature heating elements, according to the research paper published inCeramics International.
On October 31st, 2018, NUST MISIS hosted the opening ceremony of the National Center of Technological Initiative for Quantum Communication technology. Improvement of quantum communications facilities, training world-class specialists in the field of quantum engineering, research in the field of quantum network vulnerability, and the creation of quantum communication systems for satellites are among the Center’s main responsibilities. The center’s financing through 2022 will amount to 2 billion Rubles.
