Scientists from the National University of Science and Technology “MISIS” developed nanomaterial, which will be able to restore the internal structure of bones damaged due to osteoporosis and osteomyelitis. A special bioactive coating of the material helped to increase the rate of division of bone cells by three times. In the future, it can allow to…
Boron Nitride, Silver Nanoparticles Help Banish CO Emissions
Russian chemists from NUST MISIS have developed a new hybrid catalyst for carbon monoxide oxidation consisting of hexagonal boron nitride and silver nanoparticles. This material makes it possible to get a full conversion of carbon monoxide at only 194 degrees Celsius. As stated in the Journal of Catalysis, this temperature is nowhere near the process’s…
Firmware at the Blink of an Eye: Scientists Develop New Technology of Alloy Steel Rolling
Scientists Create ‘Impossible’ Materials in Simple Way
Scientists from NUST MISIS and colleagues from the University of Bayreuth, the University of Münster (Germany), the University of Chicago (U.S.), and Linköping University (Sweden) have created nitrides, a material previously considered impossible to obtain. More amazing, they have shown that the material can be obtained using a very simple method of direct synthesis. Articles…
Scientists Present Metamaterial for Solar Cells and Nanooptics
A research team from the NUST MISIS Laboratory of Superconducting Metamaterials led by Alexey Basharin, Senior Lecturer and Candidate of Technical Sciences, has developed a metamaterial-dielectric that has unique characteristics and is easy to manufacture. This ease of access will allow researchers to use it to create the latest optical devices. The research results were…
Scientists Discover How to Control the Laquo Excitation of Electronics
An international team of scientists, including NUST MISIS’s Professor Gotthard Seifert, have made an important step towards the control of excitonic (lat. excito — «excite») effects in two-dimensional van der Waals heterostructures. In the future, this research will help to create electronics with more controlled properties. The research has been published in Nature Physics. The…
New Method of Measuring Internal Stresses for Aerospace and Aircraft Engineering
Composite materials have become an integral part of our lives: they are used in aviation and space technologies, as well as the automobile and mining industries. However, there has been a problem of internal stress assessment with composite material designs since their inception. “Scientists from the NUST MISIS Center of Composite Materials, led by Professor…
Scientists Create Hybrid Nanomaterials in Fight Against Cancer and Bacteria
“Living Bandages” Heal with Help of Anti-Burn Nanofibers
A group of NUST MISIS’s young scientists, for the very first time in Russia, has presented a new therapeutic material based on nanofibers made of polycaprolactone modified with a thin-film antibacterial composition and plasma components of human blood. Biodegradable bandages made from these fibers will accelerate the growth of tissue cells twice as quickly, contributing…

Nanoparticle-Antioxidants Treat Strokes, Spinal Cord Injuries
One of the most devastating forms of trauma to the human body is a spinal cord injury, representing a serious clinical problem around the globe. In addition to the direct damage to nerve fibers, subsequent problems like the overproduction of free radicals (active forms of oxygen) and inflammation also pose serious risk. Spinal cord injuries,…
