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.’

Arab Students in the USSR Art Institutes in 1959–1979: Ideology and Life Worlds

The Soviet and Post-Soviet Review. 2025. Vol. 52. No. 1. P. 32–69.
Nefedova O.

During the 1950s the Soviet Union created a dedicated exchange program intended to attract Arab artists and scholars from around the world. This educational plan was implemented in the USSR through two main strategies: by introducing propaganda and ideology into daily life, and educating art students in the artistic method of Socialist Realism. In this essay I address the process of realizing this ideological strategy and its functionality, I will explore the relations between students and their art institutes, and discuss the problem of Arab students’ adaptation to the new environment and the difficulties caused by cultural differences, as well as their subsequent fates and their contacts with the institutes after completing their studies and returning to their homelands.
