NUST MISIS secured 12th place in the Digital Economy University Ranking, compiled by the autonomous non-profit organization Digital Economy with support from the Association of Computer and IT Enterprises. The study assessed 304 Russian universities across 69 IT-related specializations.
The ranking agency Times Higher Education has published a list of the best universities in the world across various subject areas. In 2025, NUST MISIS entered the list of leading universities in computer science for the first time. It ranked in the top 28% of universities worldwide in physical sciences and the top 41% in engineering. The ranking was based on five criteria: teaching, research environment, research quality, industry, and international outlook.
Scientists at the MISIS University have patented a composite biocompatible microelectrode that can be used for electrical stimulation of nerve tissue. It is applicable in locating epilepsy foci in the brain and stimulating peripheral nerves to alleviate phantom pain. It will also be useful in studying spinal cord tissue regeneration.
Researchers at the NUST MISIS have enhanced the processing method for a cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy used in hip joint implants, pins, plates, and other biomedical products. This approach improves the material’s strength characteristics while maintaining a stable level of plasticity.
Scientists from NUST MISIS and JSC “NIIEFA” have demonstrated how to produce a bimetallic material using hybrid additive manufacturing. Composites made of tungsten and copper with enhanced properties are used for plasma-facing components (PFCs) in nuclear fusion reactors. Research has shown that the thermophysical and mechanical characteristics of the tungsten-copper composite are comparable to those made using traditional methods. However, hybrid additive technologies can achieve more efficient heat dissipation and increase thermal cycling resources due to the proposed design of the tungsten-copper composite.
