Scientists are searching for lithium technology alternatives in the face of the surging demand for lithium-ion batteries and limited lithium reserves. Russian researchers from Skoltech, D. Mendeleev University, and the Institute of Problems of Chemical Physics...
A group of scientists from Russia, China, and the United States predicted and then experimentally obtained barium superhydrides' new unusual superconductors. The study was published in Nature Communications . Chemists and physicists have been hunting...
The scientists hope that the further research of these viruses and the gp66 enzyme will help to use them in the solution of a number of scientific and medical tasks related to the management of properties of the gut microbiota as well as to manipulations of...
Diamond could conduct electricity like metals when it is deformed to strains at the nanoscale, according to predictions from a study by an international team of scientists led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) and the Massachusetts...
A group of Skoltech scientists led by a Skoltech and MSU professor Olga Dontsova discovered a novel liver-specific non-coding RNA. The researchers tracked the RNA amounts in a healthy liver and that affected by carcinogenesis and suggested using the RNA as...
Scientists from the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech), Institute of Solid State Chemistry and Mechanochemistry (ISSC SB RAS), Pirogov Medical University and Yerevan State University have predicted new hard and superhard ternary compounds...
Russian chemists have obtained a new photochromic complex composed of of bismuth (III) and viologen cations and used the new compound to create optical memory elements which were shown to be highly efficient and stable. The outcomes of the study may serve to...
The Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech), the Skolkovo ecosystem’s young up and coming university, recently published an article on the science website phys.org, a part of the online science news platform Science X. Science X covers...
Scientists at Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (skoltech), together with colleagues from the Karl-Franzens University of Graz and the Kanzelhoehe Observatory (Austria) developed an automatic method for detecting “coronal dimmings,” or...
Researchers from Skoltech and their colleagues spent more than two years studying a 20-meter wide and 20-meter deep crater in the Yamal Peninsula in northern Russia that formed after an explosive release of gas, mostly methane, from the permafrost. They were...
Skoltech and MIPT scientists have predicted and experimentally confirmed the existence of exotic hexagonal thin films of NaCl on a diamond surface. These films could be used as gate dielectrics for field effect transistors in electric vehicles and telecommunication...
In the coronavirus spread scenario, artificial intelligence cannot correctly predict the scale of the pandemic and provide recommendations, using only the data on past epidemics, the expert says Photo: Sk.ru Specifics of the artificial intelligence...
Skoltech scientists modeled the behavior of nanobubbles appearing in van der Waals heterostructures and the behavior of substances trapped inside the bubbles. In the future, the new model will help obtain equations of state for substances in nano-volumes, opening...
Skoltech scientists developed highly sensitive sensors based on cobalt oxide nanoflakes which are capable of detecting various alcohols in the air. The new sensors can be used for both medical diagnostics and detection of toxic methanol in the air. Smart...
Faculty and students at both universities will continue to pursue common research interests, collaborating to solve cutting-edge problems in science and engineering. MIT has renewed its relationship with the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology...
Scientists from Russia demonstrated a novel approach leveraging the combination of high-resolution mass spectrometry and chemoinformatics to identify biologically active molecular components of humic substances extracted from coal, and discovered substances...
