A new sensor monitors in real time how stressed you are

Posted on by Haptic

Skoltech researchers have developed a prototype of a fluorescence-based sensor for continuous detection of cortisol concentrations in real time, which can help monitor various health conditions. The paper was published in the journal Talanta. Cortisol, a steroid hormone commonly known as the “stress hormone,” plays a significant role in the regulation of a range of physiological Read more about A new sensor monitors in real time how stressed you are[…]

The ‘last mile’ of a future mission to the Moon

Posted on by Haptic

Researchers from Skoltech and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have analyzed several dozen options to pick the best one in terms of performance and costs for the ‘last mile’ of a future mission to the Moon – actually delivering astronauts to the lunar surface and back up to the safety of the orbiting lunar station.

Machine learning methods to predict superhard materials

Posted on by Haptic

A group of Skoltech scientists used machine learning (ML) methods to predict superhard materials based on their crystal structure. The research was published in the Journal of Applied Physics. This work is supported by Russian Science Foundation. Superhard materials have recently attracted increasing research interest due to their potential implications for industries broadly ranging from oil Read more about Machine learning methods to predict superhard materials[…]

A novel method for the creation of an all-nanotube stretchable supercapacitor fabrication

Posted on by Haptic

Currently, research in the domain of flexible and stretchable supercapacitors is focused on adjusting electrodes, as they have the most significant effect on performance. However, the separator materials for such applications remain largely unexplored. Recently, a group of scientists from Skoltech and Aalto University (Finland) proposed a novel method for the creation of an all-nanotube Read more about A novel method for the creation of an all-nanotube stretchable supercapacitor fabrication[…]
