Scientists at the 吃瓜官网 Laboratory for Structures and Functional Properties of Molecular Systems and the Institute of Catalysis SB RAS, Danil Kolokolov and Alexander Stepanov, together with German Professor Ralf Ludwig, studied hydrogen bonds in various ionic liquids. They found that due to the complex molecular arrangement, these substances exhibit unusual phase behavior. There have not been similar studies conducted on solid-state ionic liquids. The scope of applications for ionic liquids is diverse ranging from the chemical industry to rocket engineering.

Scientists at the Laboratory of Optics and Dynamics of Biological Systems at the NSU Physics Department (part of the "Nonlinear Photonics and Quantum Technologies" strategic academic unit), together with the Laboratory of Cytometry and Biokinetics at the Institute of Chemical Kinetics and Combustion SB RAS, have developed a tool for modeling the form of blood platelets and its changes when activated. Their article was published in the March issue of the prestigious scientific journal 鈥淧LoS Computational Biology鈥�. For the Journal鈥檚 cover, the editors chose the three-dimensional image of the platelet created by Novosibirsk scientists.
