Exposure to nanoparticles during cooking causes changes to the brain activity similar to those observed in early-stage Alzheimer’s disease, finds new research from Nazarbayev University School of Engineering and Digital Sciences. Mehdi Amouei Torkmahalleh, Assistant Professor at NU SEDS, and colleagues investigated the brain activity of individuals before, during, and after exposure to ultrafine particles […]

The researchers work on development of microfluidic platforms (3D platforms with sub-millimeter scale channels) and apply them for growing human cells in dynamic and laboratory conditions for emulating certain aspects of a human organ “in-chip”. Such 3D platforms called “organ-on-a-chip” platforms allow for emulating certain aspects of a human organ “in-chip” and testing pharmaceutical compounds […]
3D printing is a manufacturing technique, more and more used today to make proofs of concept, prototypes or end-products. 3D printers use a variety of technologies. The most commonly known is fused deposition modeling (FDM), also known as fused filament fabrication (FFF). In it, a filament—composed of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polylactic acid (PLA), or […]
The universal software system Shoofti transforms places into interactive, informative spaces for visitors. Whether the place is a museum, garden, campus, downtown, or resort, Shoofti can help to create customized information and tools for visitors. The idea that became Shoofti was conceived in 2008, and many prototypes were developed as student projects at Nazarbayev University. […]
Nazarbayev University scientists, together with doctors, have developed a rehabilitation program for stroke survivors. The program includes the use of an exoskeleton, which is controlled by thoughts – the device reads brain signals. The founders of the project, are Nazarbayev University professor Prashant Jamwal and NU Data Science Ph.D. student in Beibit Abdikenov. In total, […]
In the age of digitalization, a highly increasing energy demand has stimulated to the concern on the issues around conservation of electrical energy. Energy or power-providing sectors/companies are challenged to meet the balance between demand and supply. Furthermore, current industry trends show that it is more preferable to have the intelligent system equipped with the […]
