Two gold medals and one silver medal were awarded to NUST MISIS researchers at the 28th Moscow International Salon of Inventions and Innovative Technologies, Archimedes-2025. This year’s exhibition featured over 500 inventions and innovative projects from 235 organizations across 35 regions of Russia and 26 countries.
Russian scientists have developed an innovative approach to studying the structure of composite materials that changes under external influence in real time. This methodology provides important data from miniature samples, which can now be tested in a scanning electron microscope chamber. The results obtained are used for reliable strength calculations, which will save costs in the production and testing of automotive and aerospace components.
NUST MISIS has improved its standings in the QS-2025 rankings, making it into five subject-specific and two broad-field lists. The university has retained its position as Russia’s No. 1 institution in materials science and ranked among the top three in mining engineering. Overall, experts evaluated and ranked more than 1,700 universities worldwide.
In Russia, a super-fast integrated optical detector has been presented that can be adapted for various tasks — from telecommunications and thermal imagers to medical biosensors, security systems, and astronomical instruments. The device detects weak infrared signals in an integrated-optical chip 100 million times faster than its analogues and updates data more than one billion times per second, making it one of the fastest in its class.
