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.’

Social Integration: At the Crossroads of Knowledge and Values
The International Laboratory for Social Integration Research (ILSIR) at HSE University studies the challenges faced by vulnerable groups and explores ways to help them participate fully in everyday life. To develop effective solutions, the laboratory’s researchers combine cutting-edge methods with practical fieldwork. In this interview with the HSE News Service, Laboratory Head Elena Iarskaia-Smirnova discusses the laboratory’s work.

Agustin de Betancourt: one life - two disfavors

P. 393–397.
Volosyuk O. V.

The life of the “Russian Spaniard” – Agustin de Betancourt – was split into two parts between Spain and Russia. New data obtained from Russian archives and other documentary sources clarifies the unexplored moments in the biography of one of Spain’s best mechanical engineers, explains the reasons for his hasty departure from Spain and move to St. Petersburg, traces the development of his career in Russia and helps to understand the reason why the contribution of one of the most talented engineers of his time and one of the most important participants in the construction of the new “Alexandrian” Russia was diminished by those who accidentally or deliberately erased the memory of him from future generations

Кортес Х. Д., Marey A. V., СПб.: Владимир Даль, 2023.
Если современного человека заставить выбирать между свободой и диктатурой, его выбор, кажется, будет очевиден. Но если выбор будет между двумя видами несвободы, между диктатом власти, с одной стороны, и стрельбой на улицах с другой? Как показывает опыт, в таком случае выбор окажется весьма непрост и неоднозначен. Осмыслению подобного выбора посвящена знаменитая речь испанского политика, философа и интеллектуала Хуана Доносо Кортеса. ...
