The workshop in NTUU KPI and report of American professor Sergey Lyshevski, Rochester University, USA on microelectromechanical (MEMS) and bio-microelectromechanical (BioMEMS) systems, microsystems nano-technologies and their applications, Kiev, NTUU KPI, October 18, 2012
In his report Sergey Lyshevski talked on possible fields of advances in science, engineering and medicine applications considering the latest discoveries and advances in the field of MEMS and BioMEMS. In the professor’s opinion an integration of nano- and nano-biotechnologies takes place. The main attention was focused on MEMS and Microsystems development, designing, manufacturing and realization. MEMS technology enables reading, running and handling of the paradigms.
In prof. Lyshevski’s report physics and bio-physics of reading, measuring and handling of MEMS and BioMEMS were considered. The study objective was performing a number of testings on probing, running and processing of standards, study and approbation of first principles and developing of set of methods, approaches, technical skills and means which can be used for study of engineering, biological and bio-oriented systems. Considering of natural and engineering systems of bio- samples interaction and presentation, measuring and characterization of solving by means of nanoscale electronics and MEMS.
Part of report and workshop was devoted to application of MEMS, Microsystems and nanotechnologies in the countries with highly developed aerospace, automobile and military branches; energetic and electromechanical systems, microelectronics and robotics.

The seminar, titled “MXenes for Space and High-Tech Applications: From Scalable Synthesis to Smart Structures, Sensors, and Advanced Bio-Composites,” brought together researchers interested in the development and application of advanced nanomaterials. The presentation covered recent progress in MXene technology, with a particular focus on scalable synthesis and the integration of MXenes into smart structures, sensors, advanced electronics, multifunctional composites, and space technologies.
The study, “Green-Synthesized MXenes Enable Low-Friction, Cytocompatible PVA-Chitosan Hydrogels,” explores the incorporation of HF-free, green-synthesized Ti₃C₂Tₓ MXenes into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-chitosan hydrogels. The research demonstrates that this combination can produce highly hydrated, mechanically enhanced, cytocompatible materials with significantly improved tribological properties.
Our collaborative work on porous Ti₃AlC₂ MAX phase for efficient Ti₃C₂Tₓ MXene synthesis has been ranked among the Top 10 most cited papers in the International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology (IJACT).
We highly recommend checking out new important paper: “Critical Assessment of Intrinsic Antibacterial Properties and Photothermal Therapy Potential of MXene Nanosheets.” Along with the key findings, we’re also excited to share the Supplementary Cover Art — it beautifully illustrates our vision of MXene-based targeted complexes that can eliminate bacteria via photothermal conversion under near-infrared irradiation.
Do MXene nanosheets possess intrinsic antibacterial activity? A systematic study of high-quality Ti-, V-, and Nb-based MXenes reveals negligible inherent antimicrobial effects while highlighting their strong potential for targeted photothermal antibacterial therapy.

MXenes potential applications include sensors, wound healing materials, and drug delivery systems. A recent study explored how different synthesis methods affect the safety and performance of MXenes. By comparing etching conditions and intercalation strategies, researchers discovered that fine-tuning the surface chemistry of MXenes plays a crucial role in improving biocompatibility. These results provide practical guidelines for developing safer MXenes and bring the field one step closer to real biomedical applications.
