Prof. Nikolay Kudryavtsev, MIPT Rector,
Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy
of Sciences, 1973 MIPT graduate:
“We believe that MIPT students should keep an active
life position and never take an indifferent approach
to it. We are committed for teaching students how to
think – in the long run, that is the key approach.”
Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian
Federation:
“Among MIPT alumni there have been prominent
scientists, politicians, and high ranking officials.
The fame of MIPT is based on its strong university
traditions, brilliant faculty members and talented,
enthusiastic students. A degree received here is
indication of a profound knowledge, a most promising
starting point for an outstanding career.”

The Faculty of Physics and Technology was founded
at Moscow State University in order to train young
scientists who would conduct research in nuclear
physics, aeromechanics, cryogenics, quantum
electronics and other fields related to USSR military
projects.
The Faculty becomes an autonomous university
named “Moscow Institute of Physics and
Technology – MIPT.”
MIPT professor Nikolay Semyonov is awarded the
Nobel Prize in Chemistry for researches into the
mechanism of chemical reactions.

The MIPT industry-academic partnership scheme
called the “Phystech System” was introduced by
our first professors, the Nobel-prize winners Pyotr
Kapitsa, Nikolay Semenov and Lev Landau. It includes
four components:
1. Pre-admission selection of talented young people. We
cooperate with high schools all over Russia to spot children
who show progress in mathematics and physics.
2. During the first two years our students undergo rigorous
study in fundamental sciences.
3. From the third year on every student conducts research at
one of our industry-academic partnerships.
4. We invite prominent scientists for lecturing and teaching.

systems, terahertz radiation makes it possible to
study the role of water in biological processes,

processes, which can characterize the state of a biosystem.
Having high sensitivity to the phase state of water, the terahertz
range allows for determining the degree of the bond between
water molecules in biological systems, the level of solvation
of ions in a solution and the hydration level of surfaces at the
phase boundary. In space research, terahertz radiation makes it
possible to perform remote probing of an atmosphere.
