We warmly congratulate Viktor Ivanovich Balykin, Head of the Laser Spectroscopy Laboratory at ISAN, on receiving the ICO Galileo Galilei Medal Award. On September 20, 2021, the Bureau of the International Commission for Optics (ICO) approved the award of the Galileo Galilei Medal 2021 to Viktor I. Balykin in recognition…
This summer, young researchers from the Laboratatory of Laser Spectroscopy ISAN participated in a summer internship in the southern capital of China – Nanjing. Scientific groups from ISAN and Nanjing University collaborate through the International Laboratory of Nanoplasmonics and its Applications in Biology and Medicine, established at ISAN under the…
We discuss advanced optical and nanophotonic techniques for detecting single biomolecules with extremely high sensitivity, down to single-molecule levels. We describe and show how modern optical methods — including fluorescence imaging, plasmonics, and nanostructure-enhanced sensing — can be used to visualize single molecules, detect ultra-low analyte concentrations directly in complex…
We congratulate Anton Gritchenko, a Junior Researcher at the Laboratory of Laser Spectroscopy, on winning the competition for individual research projects by young scientists with the project titled: “Spatial and Temporal Localization of Quantum Emitters in Nanoscale Resonators for Applications in Detection, Microscopy, and Spectroscopy.” The program provides funding for…
Surface Plasmon Photonics (SPP) is an international conference widely regarded as one of the leading events in the field of plasmonics. It is held every two years in different locations around the world; this year the conference took place in Tokyo, Japan. The conference covers a broad range of topics…
Congratulations to Daria Bykova on being awarded the Presidential Grant! The presidential scholarship is granted to talented young researchers who are tasked with addressing large-scale challenges, that involves creating technologies and products. For this purpose, the scholars possess the most important qualities—talent, knowledge, boldness—and receive support from mentors and the…
On February 7, 2025, on the eve of Russian Science Day, the first ceremony of presenting the “Person of Science” award from the Office of the Council of Deputies of the Troitsk Urban District in Moscow, a science city of the Russian Federation, was held at the Glinka Children’s Art…
We reports the development of a miniaturized optoelectronic component in which a gallium phosphide (GaP) nanowire (NW) serves simultaneously as an optical waveguide and an electrically-driven light source. By doping the GaP nanowire differently — either with Be (p-type) or Si (n-type) — we demonstrate integrated visible-range electroluminescence within a…
We investigate how strong light–matter interactions can be used to engineer the radiative (light emission) properties of complex nanoscale systems composed of fluorescent dye molecules embedded in a polydopamine matrix and coupled to metallic nanoparticles. Polydopamine is a common biocompatible adhesive material, but it typically quenches fluorescence of embedded dyes…
In 2024, the Russian Academy of Sciences celebrates its 300th anniversary since its founding. Victor Balykin, head of the spectroscopy laboratory at the Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, were honored with this special award in conjunction with the 300-year anniversary celebrations.This medal was awarded to the outstanding scientists…
