Teams of young people and students from eight countries—China, India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mexico, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, and Russia—successfully completed the main mission of the International Space Games (ISG): ensuring the sustainable functioning of an autonomous settlement on another planet. The Games’ unique format, which dispenses with traditional competition aimed at securing victory for a single country, has proved its effectiveness. HSE University is the project operator.

Researchers from HSE MIEM and Skoltech have developed a new approach to decoding codes used for data transmission. Their hybrid method significantly reduces computational costs and can be implemented using electronic components. The paper has been published in IEEE Transactions on Communications.

Sixth-generation (6G) communication will require new devices and technologies, and a development team at HSE University is working on solutions in microelectronics and photonics as part of the university's Strategic Technological Project 'Trusted 6G Communication Systems Technology Suite.' In 2026, the researchers developed models and prototypes of devices, experimentally tested their characteristics, and agreed with industrial partners on formats for collaboration. The HSE News Service spoke with project coordinator Alexander Shurakov, Associate Professor at the School of Electronic Engineering of HSE MIEM, about how these developments can move beyond the laboratory.
