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.

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.

MISIS University develops cooperation with Anhui province, China

A delegation from Anhui province, China, visited NUST MISIS to discuss potential partnership opportunities. Representatives from the regional Department of Education, Anhui University of Science and Technology, Anqing Normal University, and Anhui Normal University expressed interest in creating joint educational and research projects.

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.
