Welcome to Skoltech!
Opening of the Technological Exhibition
The exhibition will display technological solutions developed at Skoltech, including the first Russian 4G/5G base station, photonic integrated circuits, additive coatings with medicines for medical devices, and an AI platform for monitoring ice conditions and forest fires.
Opening of the Poster Session
At the poster session, Skoltech researchers will share their research results — the first-ever map of human brain lipids, a machine learning-based method to search for the new materials for aviation and space, a patented technology for manufacturing high-quality lithium iron phosphate, a new platform for integrated all-optical logics, and more.
Lab Tours
The visitors will be offered an opportunity to tour Skoltech laboratories and learn more about its infrastructure. The attendees will have the chance to observe the development of Russia’s exclusive NMC and LFP cathode materials, gain insights into the outcomes of the thermoplastic pultrusion laboratory as well as into how the Institute’s neuroscientists sensitized prosthetics, and visit the laboratory where the first-ever ultrafast optical polariton transistor was created.
