HSE Economists Use Search Queries to Forecast Birth Rates
Researchers from the HSE Faculty of Economic Sciences have shown that the accuracy of birth rate forecasts for Russia can be improved by almost 50% by incorporating the dynamics of online search queries related to pregnancy and childbirth into forecasting models. In the best-performing models, the forecasting error fell from 4.6% to 3.2%. The findings have been published in Populations and Economics.

HSE Researchers Discover Who Eats Out in Russia-And Why
Around one-third of Russians (31.3%) rarely eat out or buy ready-made meals. The core group of active consumers—those who eat out or purchase prepared food almost every day or several times a week—accounts for only about 9% of the population. These are the findings of a study conducted by the HSE Institute for Social Policy. According to the researchers eating out is no longer a marker of high social status in Russia.

Theory of Casimir Forces: A Unified Approach Using Finite-Temperature Field Theory

Journal of Mathematical Physics. 2025. Vol. 66. No. 12. Article 123301.
Petr E. Brandyshev, Yury A. Budkov

We present a quantum theory of Casimir forces between perfect electrical conductors, based on quantum electrodynamics and quantum statistical physics. This theory utilizes Kapusta’s finite-temperature field theory, combined with the Faddeev–Popov ghost formalism. This approach allows us to calculate Casimir forces at finite temperatures, providing both previously known and new physical insights from a unified perspective. Furthermore, our method enables us to compute the stress tensor associated with Casimir forces, in accordance with the Helmholtz free energy of an equilibrium quantum electromagnetic field. Using this method, we calculate the tangential pressure in a slit-like pore due to the Casimir effect.

Задачи бесконечной регулярной реализуемости
Шиманогов И. Н., Vyalyi M., Дискретный анализ и исследование операций 2025 Т. 32 № 4 С. 213–230
A well-studied class of algorithmic problems is that of regular realizability: checking the non-emptiness of the intersection of a regular language with a given language. This problem has a natural algebraic interpretation: verifying whether an element of a Boolean algebra belongs to the kernel of a certain homomorphism. This motivates the consideration of an analogous ...

High-quality planar cavities with low-absorption mirrors based on Al0.2Ga0.8As/Al0.9Ga0.1As layers demonstrate continuous wave lasing at a wavelength of 956 nm. At 300 K, the threshold power density and the quality-factor at the threshold are 4.2 kW/cm2 and 6800. Increasing the pump level above two thresholds results in an enlargement in the quality-factor to at least 19 ...

Bobkov G. A., Bobkov G. A., Bobkova I. V. et al., Journal of Superconductivity and Novel Magnetism 2025 Vol. 38 Article 239
In recent years, a number of studies have predicted the emergence of a nontrivial proximity effect in superconductor/antiferromagnet (S/AF) heterostructures. This effect is of considerable interest for the efficient integration of antiferromagnetic materials into the fields of superconducting spintronics and electronics. A key element of this proximity effect is the Néel triplet correlations, initially predicted ...

The miniaturization of superconducting electronics demands precise control over quasiparticle dynamics at the nanoscale. Understanding and controlling quasiparticle dynamics is essential for advancing superconducting electronics, particularly as device dimensions approach the nanoscale.

On Ω-stable 3-diffeomorphism with a solid or thickened surfaced basic set
Pochinka O., Barinova M., Journal of Geometry and Physics 2026 Vol. 228 P. 1–8
In the present paper we consider an Ω-stable 3-diffeomorphism with a solid or thickened surfaced non-trivial basic set. Such basic sets include, for instance, all one-dimensional expanding attractors and those two-dimensional basic sets that are not expanding. We prove that the chain recurrent set of every such a diffeomorphism necessarily contains at least two non-trivial ...

Theory of capillary-induced self-coacervation in zwitterionic polymer solutions
Nikolai N. Kalikin, Petr E. Brandyshev, Yury A. Budkov, Journal of Chemical Physics 2026 Vol. 164 No. 15 Article 154904
This study presents a mean-field theory for zwitterionic polymer solutions confined within attractive slit-like nanopores. Building upon our prior model for self-coacervation [Budkov et al., Soft Matter 19, 3281–3289 (2023)], we demonstrate that strong electrostatic dipole–dipole correlations between monomeric units, coupled with attraction to pore walls, can induce capillary-driven liquid–liquid phase separation inside the pore—a ...

The behavior of water under nanoscale confinement is crucial for numerous technologies; yet predicting its properties remains challenging due to the complex interplay of pore geometry and surface chemistry. While the influence of general hydrophilicity is recognized, the specific role of the flexibility of surface functional groups - a key molecular-scale feature - has remained underexplored. To address ...

Darya L. Gurina, Kruchinin S. E., Yury A. Budkov, Electrochimica Acta 2025 Vol. 535 Article 146711
Supercapacitors are becoming increasingly important in energy storage applications due to their high power density, long cycle life, and fast charging capabilities. However, to further enhance supercapacitor performance, a deeper understanding of the electric double layer (EDL) structure at the electrode-electrolyte interface is essential. This molecular dynamics (MD) study explores the structure and electrochemical behavior ...

First-principles theory of the Casimir screening effect
Yury A. Budkov, Petr E. Brandyshev, Physical Review E - Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft Matter Physics 2025 Vol. 111 No. 4 Article 044130
In this paper, we use the formalism of finite-temperature quantum field theory to investigate the Casimir force between flat, ideally conductive surfaces containing confined, but mobile ions. We demonstrate that, in the Gaussian approximation, the ionic fluctuations contribute separately from the electromagnetic fluctuations that are responsible for the standard Casimir effect. This is in line ...

In this study, we used molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the effects of diluting [EMIM][NTf2] with DMSO on the behavior of the electrolyte within negatively charged slit-like micropores. Our results demonstrate clear differences in electrolyte composition between confined and bulk phase.
