Scientists from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University have created a unified database of chalcogenide glasses, which contains more than 20,000 records of their compositions and properties. The database is based on information published in scientific studies over the past 50 years, and includes most of the existing experimental results of studying the characteristics of chalcogenide glassy materials. Database chalcogenide glasses is patented and registered by the Federal Service for Intellectual Property (Rospatent). To work with the database, the Polytechnics developed a web interface that allows sorting, exporting and analyzing data by composition and properties. Thanks to this, new opportunities are opening up for the accelerated design of promising chalcogenide glasses – key materials for modern infrared optics, thermal imagers and night vision systems.

Chalcogenide glasses are amorphous inorganic materials in which oxygen atoms are replaced by sulfur, selenium or tellurium atoms. Chalcogenide glasses have attracted attention since their discovery due to their unique properties: due to the absence of oxygen in the structure, they have wide transparency in the infrared range, a high refractive index and a low softening point. The growth of practical interest in these materials in the last five years is associated with the development of thermal imaging systems and a more than threefold increase in the price of single-crystal germanium, the main material for the infrared spectral region up to 14 μm. Due to the great fragmentation and lack of systematization of published data, as well as the lack of a system for displaying the characteristics of glass compositions, the process of developing new compositions with the required set of properties has become more complex. Traditionally, it is based on the analysis of phase diagrams and the construction of local regression models.

To solve this problem, an interdisciplinary group of scientists from the Scientific and Educational Center "Nanotechnology and Coatings" of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials and Transport and the Higher School of Software Engineering of SPbPU carried out large-scale work to create a unified database. Using large language models (LLM – Large Language Model), scientists aggregated and structured information from more than 1000 scientific publications. In addition to the database itself, using artificial intelligence methods, models were developed to predict the properties of previously unknown glass compositions.

The main result of the work was not just a database, but an entire analytical platform. For the convenience of researchers, a specialized web interface has been developed that allows for prompt data analysis, comparison of results, and export of search results. To simulate the characteristics of glass before the stage of expensive laboratory synthesis, a model for predicting key glass parameters (density, softening temperature, refractive index) was developed based on machine learning models and neural networks. The proposed approach significantly reduces the time spent on developing promising compositions at the initial stage of research. In the future, it is planned to expand the scope of application of the predicted glass parameters, – said the project manager, PhD in Physics and Mathematics Victor Klinkov.

The software package can serve as a basis for the emergence of a new approach to the design of optical systems. The platform lays the foundation for a fundamentally different methodology: now it is possible to design "from the opposite" – from the characteristics required by the system to the targeted synthesis of material with the necessary parameter values. An important aspect of the project is its general availability. The platform creates a single field for scientific work, allowing both novice scientists and experienced specialists to quickly analyze their results in the context of global research practice and plan new projects.

The practical significance of the work lies in expanding the boundaries of understanding the nature of the glassy state using AI tools and in creating prerequisites for implementing these results in industrial optics design systems. Today, there are no direct analogues of the developed platform in Russia.

The work was carried out within the framework of the Blue Sky Research Digital Labs Campus project with the support of the St. Petersburg Foundation for the Support of Innovations and Youth Initiatives. Now scientists are improving the algorithmic support and expanding the functionality of the platform for the international scientific community.

On the morning of September 8, in the Polytechnic buildings, the sentries of the "Memory Watch" — students of the SPbPU Military Training Center — stood in honor guard at the steles with lit candles and 125-gram pieces of bread. This is how the university has been beginning mourning and solemn events dedicated to the day the Leningrad siege began for many years. This year, the tragic date was celebrated for the 84th time.

At 12 o'clock, Polytechnic University teachers laid flowers at the memorial at the Bogoslovskoye Cemetery. And at 13 o'clock, SPbPU staff and students came to a rally at the Monument to the Fallen Polytechnicians.

Every year, in addition to the university staff and residents of besieged Leningrad, new participants appear here – first-year students who have just entered the university. Those who came to St. Petersburg from other regions know little about the blockade. Therefore, for them, this rally is one of the first lessons in the history of the city.

Associate Professor of the Higher School of Social Sciences Ivan Kolomeitsev recalled that the siege of Leningrad by Nazi troops and their accomplices lasted from September 8, 1941 to January 27, 1944. According to official data, the number of civilian casualties reached almost 1 million 100 thousand people. During the siege, workshops for the production of equipment necessary for the front were organized at the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute. Polytechnic engineers ensured the operation of the ice route on Lake Ladoga, the famous Road of Life. Military equipment developed by LPI graduates was produced at defense plants in our country.

Dear veterans, colleagues, the Leningrad blockade is one of the most dramatic pages of the Great Patriotic War. The further it goes into the past, the more vivid many of the events of those years become. It seems to me that what happened then in Leningrad has no analogues in history. As it is written on the granite slab of the monument where we have gathered, the polytechnicians did everything with their labor and military feat to withstand and win. In this mournful moment, let us remember those who gave their lives during the blockade, – Advisor to the rector's office, Professor Vladimir Glukhov addressed the participants of the rally.

The memory of the victims was honored with a minute of silence.

Veterans of the Polytechnic University, children of war and residents of besieged Leningrad Zinaida Matveyevna Filina and Irina Vasilyevna Novozhilova also spoke at the rally. They thanked the younger generation for their memory and attention to the veterans.

On behalf of the youth, 11th grade students of the Natural Science Lyceum Rodion Kurskiyev and Anatoly Zozulya spoke; they read poems by Vera Inber and Alexander Prokofiev.

The rally ended with the laying of flowers at the Monument to the Fallen Polytechnicians. After that, the cadets of the Military Training Center and the Polytechnic activists went to the Piskarevskoye Cemetery to lay a wreath and flowers at the memorial and burial site of the Polytechnicians.

A new cafe "Respawn" has opened on the Polytechnic campus. It is located on the first floor of the fourth building, the sign is visible from afar and attracts attention.

Let's explain right away what the name means, because that's the point. In computer games, the word "respawn" is used to refer to the place where the hero is reborn and reborn, that is, the place of new strength. And indeed, there used to be a cafe here, too, but now it has been completely transformed.

The opening of the new establishment took place with the participation of the rector of SPbPU Andrey Rudskoy. He congratulated the students on the beginning of the new academic year and recalled that he himself once loved "fast food".

Dear guys, to study successfully, everything around you needs to be good: lectures, teachers, mentors, group, friends, health, and, of course, food. Here they will prepare food that maintains energy and does not take much time, while it is filling, and knowledge goes well on a full stomach. Therefore, we are organizing a network of fast food centers at the university, where it is cozy, tasty and decent, and the price-quality ratio is very decent, – said Andrey Rudskoy.

The Rector of SPbPU noted that the Polytechnic University is counting on long-term cooperation with the company "DTKP" (brand "Gamma Vkusa"), to which several food outlets in the Polytechnic University have been outsourced, and on expanding the range of services. For example, the possibility of food delivery around the campus, or pre-ordering to avoid standing in line, is being considered. Also, perhaps, dishes with a special Polytechnic flavor will appear on the menu of these cafes. "Pancakes of a first-year student" or "Gagarinsky borscht", for example. Competition for the best name for shawarma and burger it's already going in the official Polytechnic group.

What can you have for lunch today at the Respawn cafe?

The Wild Burger with beef is a combo with potatoes and cheese sauce, and the Chicken Burger comes with chicken nuggets and potatoes, respectively.

Classic shawarma, cheese shawarma, signature shawarma "Respawn" with bacon or beef.

The lunch is completed with a cocktail of the day.

You can order separately St. Petersburg-style potatoes and Moscow-style potatoes. St. Petersburg-style potatoes are fried with smoked sausages, and Moscow-style potatoes are fried with bacon.

Those who are in a hurry get a hot dog.

You can’t call this cuisine dietary, but it has many fans, and there’s no end to those who want it.

There is also food for vegetarians. For example, falafel with mixed salad or just a salad "Cole Slaw".

Hot drinks include four types of coffee, chocolate and tea. Also soft drinks and sweet snacks.

St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and the State Hermitage Museum present a new joint project – a series of video films “Formula of Art”.

The leading engineering university and the largest museum in Russia are long-standing partners. The cooperation began back in 2016, and at the end of 2023 it received a new impetus for development. All these years, the university and the museum have been developing and improving the engineering and security systems of the Hermitage, conducting scientific research, interacting in expert and information-analytical activities, joint public and youth projects, in the field of employment and job placement.

The new creative initiative was born as a result of mutual interest and cooperation between the press services of both institutions and has evolved into a large-scale joint project.

"The idea is to connect masterpieces of the past with the achievements of modern science," said Marianna Dyakova, Head of the SPbPU Public Relations Department. "The project is based on searching for parallels between the museum exhibits and the scientific developments of Polytechnic University scientists. For example, research in the field of lithium-ion batteries is reflected in antique mechanical watches from the museum collection. More than a dozen such interesting intersections have already been found, and work on new ideas continues."

In the first episode of Formula of Art, viewers are invited to take a journey from the Middle Ages to the present day. The subject of the research was the protective clothing of warriors five hundred years ago and now. The role of an expert on knightly armor was played by Yuri Efimov, a senior researcher at the Arsenal Department of the State Hermitage. Straight from the Knights' Hall of the Hermitage, we are transported to the Scientific and Educational Center of the Polytechnic University "Mechanical Engineering Technologies and Materials", where its director Pavel Novikov talks about modern protective equipment.

The science that the Hermitage is engaged in comprehends and organizes the past. Scientists at the Polytechnic University create technologies of the future. Our project, born out of mutual curiosity, shows that both can be equally fascinating, says Olga Eberts, Head of the Information Projects Department of the State Hermitage.

The authors plan to release new films every month. Not only the Polytechnic University staff and students, but absolutely all viewers will be able to see them on the university's information resources, immerse themselves in the atmosphere of historical halls where works of art created by great creators are kept, and feel the amazing connection of eras, the unity of age-old wisdom, talent and service to progress. The project will also be presented on the official communication channels of the State Hermitage. Placing content on the media platforms of one of the world's leading museums will allow for maximum audience reach and attract the attention of both Russian and international users.

The target audience of the project is the broadest circles of the public. It will be interesting for both children and teenagers, as well as adults who want to see familiar museum exhibits in a new light. "Formula of Art" allows you to take a new look at the connection between the past, the present and the future, – Marianna Dyakova is sure.

"Today Andrey Ivanovich Rudskoy introduced me in detail to the history of your great university. I visited the museum, the historical meeting hall of the Academic Council, the research building, and also saw unique developments created using the latest technologies. All this made a very strong impression. It was especially pleasant to see that young people are participating in these projects – this is our present and our future, – Valery Vasilyevich shared his impressions. – I was deeply touched by my acquaintance with the gallery of outstanding scientists in the Main Building: Corresponding Member, mathematician Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov; the legendary scientist Ivan Matveevich Vinogradov, the famous mathematician Alexey Nikolaevich Krylov. I was shown the lectures of Professor Ivan Vsevolodovich Meshchersky and his collection of problems, which I myself studied from as a student. Holding them in my hands is a fantastic feeling. And I want to wish that such a wonderful university with such wonderful traditions would be replenished every year with talented students, postgraduates, young teachers who are born not only in St. Petersburg, not only in Moscow, but throughout our country. So that they could study here, work and bring benefit to our great Fatherland."

Valery Vasilyevich Kozlov was born in the village of Kostyli in the Ryazan region. His path to science began with a gold medal in a Moscow secondary school, after which he continued his education at the evening physics and mathematics school at the Bauman Moscow State Technical University. In 1972, V. V. Kozlov graduated from the mechanics and mathematics department of Moscow State University, proving himself to be a brilliant student. At the age of 24, he defended his candidate's dissertation, and at 28, he became a doctor of physical and mathematical sciences. Since 1983 – professor.

A specialist in theoretical mechanics and its applications.
