Haven't you heard about silica? In fact, you know it quite well. Silica is an oxide of silicon. It can be found in your toothpaste and cosmetics, glass, ceramics and enamels. Silica is used in the food and pharmaceutical industries, radio engineering and microelectronics. Learn more about its properties and application at Skoltech!

Together with scientists from the Mendeleev University and Skoltech we will figure out, whether it is possible to «tame» energy and make it available when we need it most. Layla Kuliyeva, an assistant at the Department of Nanomaterials and Nanotechnology at the Russian State Technical University, will talk about new effective methods of heat storage. Alexandra Savina, Senior Lecturer at the Skoltech Energy Technology Center, will introduce the key technology for creating efficient cathode materials for next-generation batteries. Olga Parfenova, a researcher at the Skoltech Center for Energy Technologies, will talk about the design and generations of solar panels, where they are used now and will be used in the future.

You will learn how modern computing technologies allow you to simulate tissue research and combine heterogeneous medical data, creating virtual models of organs.
