Researchers at the NSU Division of Laser Physics and Innovative Technologies studied a new type of hybrid (fiber-semiconductor) laser. This resulted in the effective conversion of short electrical pulses into optical pulses with the same shape and duration.
NSU Physics Department graduates Nikolay Vinokurov and Andrei Gritsan became 2019 honorary members of the American Physical Society in the accelerator physics and elementary particle physics sectors
A Russian researcher, together with a colleague from Singapore, summarized data on tissue regeneration in plants at the individual cell level. The scientists noted that thanks to modern technologies, observations demonstrate that recovery can occur not only due to stem cells, but also by asymmetric (regenerative) division of other types of cells located around the damaged area. Understanding processes at the cellular level is important for developing personalized strategies for damage recovery in agricultural crops.
