Physicists from ITMO University suggest a new method to measure the durability of perovskite nanoparticles used to create flexible devices – including folding screens, pressure sensors, and solar cells.

Scientists from ITMO’s Faculty of Physics and Institute of Photonics in collaboration with researchers from Switzerland and China have created a thin film that can switch light with the speed of up to a billion times a second.

Researchers from ITMO University, Skoltech, and HSE University have developed the first electrically powered perovskite laser that requires no additional external lighting from another laser or a powerful lamp; instead, it can be directly connected to a power source like a regular LED.

Researchers from the Russian Quantum Center, ITMO University, and Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology have demonstrated that the collective behavior of electrons in ultrathin materials can be observed using light.

Scientists and students from ITMO’s Faculty of Physics have developed the world’s first AA battery that can be charged using any wireless Qi station. Resembling a typical 1.5V battery on the surface, it actually contains a curved receiving coil, voltage converters, and a rechargeable battery.
