Scientists Develop Algorithm for More Reliable Processors in Data Centres
Researchers from HSE MIEM and Samara University have developed the LRF-3D algorithm to automatically bypass idle nodes in three-dimensional networks-on-chip. Thanks to its hierarchical architecture, the algorithm outperforms existing solutions in both speed and path accuracy, improving processor reliability for use in data centres, supercomputers, and AI computing. The source code and test results are publicly available.

Researchers Develop Method for Direct Generation of Regulatory DNA
Researchers at HSE University have developed a model for generating promoters and enhancers—DNA sequences that regulate gene activity. The model works directly with DNA nucleotides, without first transforming them into a continuous numerical representation. This solution could be useful for applications in synthetic biology and gene therapy. The study results were presented at the ICLR 2026 Workshop ‘Generative AI in Genomics (Gen^2): Barriers and Frontiers.’

Exploring Public Interest in Psychological Help in Russia: Google Trends Analysis

.
Polekhina S., Sinyavskaya Y.

In recent years, the topic of psychological health has become more prominent in the Russian media landscape. However, available statistics provide only general estimates. In this research, we analyze the trends in search queries related to psychological help and well-being over a 10-year period (2012–2023). The main goal was to explore the dynamics of interest and to relate it to statistics on the suicide rate in Russia. As a data source, Google Trends was used as an instrument for identifying public interest. It was found that public interest in psychological help has increased over the 10-year period. Strong negative correlations between suicide statistics and search queries related to psychological help were observed.
