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...
Janusz Bialek and Ksenia Letova of the Skoltech Center for Energy Systems are quoted in this BBC article on the future of energy. Every day, our species chews its way through more than a million terajoules of energy . That’s roughly equivalent to what...
Finding new ways of commercially exploiting satellites already in orbit, while creating economic value in the process: this is the goal of the research being carried out by Alessandro Golkar, Interim Director of the Space Center and Associate Professor at the...
Algorithms exploiting light’s polarization boost resolution of commercial depth sensors 1,000-fold. MIT researchers have shown that by exploiting the polarization of light — the physical phenomenon behind polarized sunglasses and most 3-D...
Unusual conditions, such as extremely high pressure or strong electromagnetic fields, make for strange chemical compounds that deny common scientific understanding. If we want to understand the universe, we have to understand this bizarre new chemistry. ...
RBTH selected the five most promising tech innovations at the Open Innovations Technology Show, which was held in Moscow on October 29 to November 1. Smart cot Young parents almost always feel angst regarding their infants, but now they can count...
Four years after the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech) was founded, the startup university has finally moved into its own purpose-built campus, and has succeeded in luring accomplished Russian diaspora scientists back to Russia after periods...
The Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech) was recently founded in cooperation with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Almost half of first year students are already involved in startups. Edward Crawley, President of Skoltech...
By James Willsher (Business Weekly) Russian technology clusters and startups are looking to strengthen links with Cambridge, it emerged at Moscow’s Open Innovations forum held last week. Hundreds of Russian startups, state-backed companies and regional...
