The anti-plagiarism program brought Fantastic Beasts to light, a magic pill will save the liver after a festive feast, and earthquakes can finally be predicted ... This is just a part of the latest developments of Russian scientists, which are heatedly discussed not only in the scientific world, but also on the Web.

The results of the latest research were published by scientists in December last year. The most media scientific projects were presented by NUST MISIS and TOP-Science magazine in the first scientific hit parade.

Magic pill for the liver

Employees of the First Moscow State Medical University. THEM. Sechenov on the eve of the New Year made a gift to all lovers of strong drinks. They reported on the development of a drug that can save the liver from the harmful effects of alcohol and other toxic substances.

Despite the fact that the moment for the presentation of the new drug was well chosen - when, if not on holidays, to take care of the liver? – scientists still need to conduct preclinical trials of this form. This means that a magic drug that saves the liver in situations of "increased load" will appear on the pharmacological market in five years.

Instead of a driver - a radar

The topic of unmanned vehicles remains one of the most popular in Russian science. Scientists have created two radar models for the first Russian unmanned truck. They promised to transfer them to KamAZ for testing by the end of 2017.

At the same time, we are talking about the own development of domestic scientists, and not about an analogue of foreign samples. Upon completion of the tests, university staff plan to create a compact prototype of the radar, after which they will begin preparations for mass production.

universe on a diet

The dark matter of the universe is "losing weight," Russian scientists warn. According to physicists from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, the Institute for Nuclear Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Novosibirsk State University, it is the decay of some dark particles that can explain the known oddities in astrophysics.

We are talking, in particular, about the Hubble constant, which has different values ​​in the near and far regions of the Universe. It is noteworthy that over 13.8 billion years of dark matter managed to "lose weight" by only 2-5%.

Life of the Chelyabinsk meteorite

The Chelyabinsk meteorites are so severe that even four years after the fall they are of interest in the scientific world. Scientists from the Physico-Technological Institute of the Ural Federal University gradually restored all the "life" cycles of the Chelyabinsk meteorite, which exploded not only in the sky over the Urals, but also on YouTube in February 2013.

However, Yekaterinburg scientists are not going to rest on their laurels. They have already announced the study of the "Yaratkulov meteorite", which fell on the territory of the Chelyabinsk region at the beginning of the 20th century.

Abibas vs Adidas

Researchers from the National Research University Higher School of Economics found that the total turnover of illegal products on the Russian consumer market in 2015 amounted to approximately 2.5 trillion rubles. It is noteworthy that the largest share of counterfeit products - about 40% - is recorded on the alcohol market.

Nuclear fuel electricity

Employees of the Far Eastern Federal University have developed, according to them, a method that has no analogues in the world for the manufacture of nuclear fuel for nuclear reactors - using electricity. Recall that the main type of fuel for reactors are tablet uranium oxide compositions, which are produced from powder by granulation, pressing and sintering. Primorye scientists proposed a different method of production - electropulse sintering under pressure.

Forewarned is forearmed

Scientists of the Far Eastern Federal University propose to deploy in Russia a network of reference stations located at the same distance from each other. Such stations can measure their position relative to each other with high accuracy.

The method is based on the property of the earth's surface before an earthquake to significantly change its height above sea level in the region of future shocks, which serves as a precursor of seismic movement. These changes will be recorded by the network of stations, the scientists promise. However, with all the advantages of this method, it has one significant disadvantage: it is too expensive.

fantasy thieves

Employees of the Tomsk University of Control Systems and Radioelectronics surprised the scientific world with another discovery. They developed a program to recognize plagiarism. After the plot of the film "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" was loaded into it, it turned out that the film is 90% identical to the content of the famous Soviet cartoon "The Secret of the Third Planet", filmed by Roman Kachanov in 1981.

So, the hero Newt Scamander is the same Professor Seleznev, Captain Zeleny became the prototype of Kowalski, and Porpentina is the same Alice. At the same time, we are talking not only about the number of main characters and their relationships, but also about the main storyline - the search for fantastic animals.

It is noteworthy that a year ago, TUSUR employees already made a similar disclosure. In February 2016, they announced that the content of the first film of the fantastic Star Wars saga was 96% copied from the fairy tale Kashchei the Immortal, filmed by Alexander Rowe in 1944.

  • What Tomsk residents show at the Army-2018 forum

    The international military-technical forum "Army-2018" is being held in the Moscow region from August 21 to 26. A delegation of representatives of eight innovative companies, three universities and one research institute went there from the Tomsk region.

  • TUSUR presented successful practices in science, education, innovation at VUZPROMEXPO

    ​TUSUR Rector Viktor Rulevskiy and university president Alexander Shelupanov took part in the business program of the national exhibition "VUZPROMEXPO-2019", presenting successful cases of the university at several venues of the event.


    • Technological progress is taking giant strides, and it is easy to guess that in the coming decades there will be radical changes in the daily life of a person. We have collected ten technologies that already exist today that will become trendsetters in technological fashion for the coming decades.

    1. Graphene


    In the past few years, this very word has become something of a new "fashion" in science and technology. The thing is that this material has simply endless possibilities due to its incredible chemical and physical properties. Today, this flexible carbon compound is being used in everything from medicine to the production of super modern batteries.

    2. Innovative batteries


    If you look at human civilization globally, it becomes clear that it has always depended on just one really important resource - a source of energy. Yesterday fires in caves, today nuclear reactors, tomorrow humanity will enter the era of super compact, high-capacity batteries. In the past few years, scientists have presented several dozen quite efficient prototypes. The new generation of batteries will be small, safe and able to take any shape.

    3.Google glass


    Google glass, which made a splash a few years ago, is currently in the process of restarting the project. Despite the fact that the brainchild so long-awaited by many futurists turned out to be practically unviable, now Google continues to develop this concept. It is expected that in the next year or two, the glasses will return to the market, so far only in the corporate version.

    4. Energy


    As noted earlier, humanity has been dependent on the “energy issue” throughout its history. Despite the generality of this term, every century energy sources are becoming more efficient. The 21st century, which began rather uncertainly in this regard, seems to still change the approach of civilization to this issue. Gradually, humanity begins to develop "green" energy sources. The importance of nuclear power plants is also growing all over the world.

    5. Large Hadron Collider


    To date, the LHC is perhaps one of the most "steamed" things, but at the same time one of the least understood. In short, the LHC makes it possible to carry out the most complex physical experiments in the field of matter synthesis. In 2013, the so-called experiments to search for the “particle of God” began. The collider could help scientists better understand the laws of physics, the laws of matter, time, and the very history of our universe. However, some fear that sooner or later the LHC will create a huge black hole that will destroy our planet.

    6. 3D printing


    Three-dimensional printing is a technology that is actively gaining popularity. Perhaps in 100 years they will write about it in history books in the same way as they write about the invention of agriculture, manufactory or the industrial revolution. The important thing is that 3D printing is really capable of revolutionizing the existing production system of literally everything, from toilet paper and furniture to complex equipment, medical implants and entire buildings.

    7. GMO


    Genetically modified food is perhaps the thing around which there is the most heated debate today. On the one hand, with the help of GMOs, it would be possible (in the future) to solve the problem of food for all earthlings. On the other hand, there is no guarantee that because of GMOs, our children's children will not grow up with a third hand. Worst of all, the results of the experiments cannot convincingly prove either the safety or the danger of GMOs for humans. And that's not to mention the fact that these "results" are much more like corporate wars than science.

    8. Biometrics


    Biometrics is the new word in security. This technology has been actively used in the last few years and is constantly evolving. It is possible that in the future, absolutely all personal, corporate and private security will be built on the removal of human biometric data by automated systems.

    9. iWatch

    Apple can be blamed in many ways, but it’s definitely not that they don’t move forward. Despite all the “buts”, today it is this company that is among those who most strongly influence scientific and technological progress and, moreover, are actively involved in the introduction of new developments into human life.

    10. Brain Interface


    Telepaths and psychics, of course, do not exist, but this does not mean that human thought does not have power, physical power. In the past five years, scientists from several laboratories have presented their models of the brain-computer interface, which allow a person to control a computer and other devices literally by the power of thought (using electrical impulses of the brain).

    For lovers of gadgets and innovative technologies, we have collected more.

    The results of the latest research were published by scientists in December last year. WITH the most media scientific projects were presented NUST "MISiS" and "TOP-science" magazinein the first scientific hit parade.

    Magic pill for the liver

    Russia is one of the world's largest countries capable of conducting advanced developments in various branches of technology and production. In recent years, many successful projects have appeared using the latest Russian technologies.

    The Vocord company has come up with an innovative face recognition system. It is suitable for smartphones and other gadgets. Their competitors are the big market companies Samsung and Apple. But the latter still have serious difficulties and shortcomings. For example, a Samsung smartphone can be easily unlocked by holding a picture of the owner downloaded from social networks to it. Therefore, the Russian development is of great interest. Vokorod prophesies that their novelty has great prospects.

    A Russian company has successfully developed a cloud service for drones. It's called Le Talo Robotics. It has all the statistics on the operation of the drone. Using it, you can easily evaluate the status of the device and identify emerging problems. Also, scientists have already invented a charging station for drones, which aroused the curiosity of many investors.

    Domestic printer prints products using electron beam technology. The equipment was created by the Tomsk company TETA, and the project was developed at the Tomsk Polytechnic University and the Institute of Strength Physics and Materials Science.

    The printer has the ability to take into work alloys that change their properties when in contact with air. As for the sizes, they can be very different.

    The developers plan to actively use the innovation also in shipbuilding and mechanical engineering

    Exoskeleton

    With the help of new technologies, Russian scientists have come up with a "man-borne robot" called ExoAtlet. Its purpose is the rehabilitation of patients with the following problems:

    • unsuccessful operations;
    • trauma;
    • post-stroke states.

    Such a robot helps the patient in independent movement, speeds up the recovery process.

    It is a vehicle powered exclusively by solar energy. The car receives it due to solar panels, the total area of ​​​​which is 4 square meters. m. The body is made of a composite material, also used in space production and rocket science.

    The creation of the solar car is carried out by specialists at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. The project is actively supported by the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, as well as by Kaspersky Lab.

    The Moscow Technical Institute presented a unique new invention - a virtual reality helmet equipped with built-in intelligence. It is suitable for use in a wide variety of industries. Among them:

    • entertainment industry;
    • education;
    • medicine;
    • art;
    • defense.

    The creators claim that the helmet has surpassed foreign analogues in all technical characteristics.

    The largest corporations from Silicon Valley are busy creating vehicles that can fly. Our country is also not lagging behind and is preparing to release similar devices. Hoversurf has invented a flying motorcycle "Scorpion-3", which develops a speed of 320 km / h. It has the ability to keep recharging up to 450 km. The new Russian technology of the future has already aroused interest from abroad.

    Researchers at Tomsk Polytechnic University are developing unique technologies that provide wireless energy transmission via mobile communications over impressive distances. At the same time, it is planned to use fifth-generation communications. According to the invented algorithm, the transfer of energy will occur from one device to another along with the radio signal. Now this innovation is being tested for effectiveness.

    Among the latest Russian technologies and developments is the BiTronics designer. Its purpose is to study human biosignals. For example, it is possible to create human-machine control interfaces.

    Additional branches of use:

    • the study of robotics, physical and mathematical sciences among schoolchildren;
    • improvement of sports sensors, heart rate monitors and other devices.

    In the future, it is possible to bring the product to the international level.

    The company "Motorika" creates highly effective methods for limb prosthetics with a unique design. They created an innovation that allows a person with an injury to return the grip function to the upper limb. It's called an active traction prosthesis. Devices can be built into it to provide wireless Internet access. The data is displayed on the display, which is located on the forearm.

    The price of such a product is an order of magnitude lower than that of foreign developments. In some cases, the state provides compensation, and you can get a prosthesis absolutely free.

    Modern aircraft cover long distances, but they take a lot of time. The Russian Aviation Research Center took up work on the creation of supersonic airliners. For this, third-party specialists are actively involved, since the range of tasks is very wide. According to preliminary estimates, the new aircraft will emit noise comparable to that of conventional civil aircraft.

    Scientists are faced with the following tasks:

    • development of a preliminary structural-power scheme of the airframe;
    • selection of basic structural materials;
    • evaluation of engine characteristics;
    • alignment of the necessary thermal protection of the apparatus;
    • development of requirements for measuring instruments.

    Supersonic aircraft will be able to make a transatlantic flight in just a couple of hours.

    Robot rover

    The Anywalker device has become a useful domestic startup. It is a small robot capable of moving independently. Anywalker also presses buttons and opens doors, moves up stairs.

    A plan has been developed to scale the production of such devices up to one thousand copies annually.

    This is a device that provides a direct quantum channel for the exchange of information between two subscribers. This invention is being developed by scientists from the Faculty of Physics at Moscow State University. Conversations on such a device will be completely protected from "eavesdropping". This requires that the phones are connected by fiber optics. It is through it that the transmission of quantum states of light takes place.

    "Smart" agricultural machinery

    This project is being actively developed and supported by financial injections from the state. Cognitive Technologies has developed a computer vision system that allows agricultural machinery to see dangerous objects in the fields in the form of poles, stones, etc. This information is used to ensure the safety of mechanisms during harvesting.

    The first tractor equipped with this system has already been successfully tested on Russian fields. The widespread use of "smart" agricultural machinery will significantly save money (up to tens of millions of rubles annually on a single farm).

    Tomsk State University has invented a special laser designed to cut biological tissues and bones. The setup was developed on strontium vapor and can operate at different wavelengths. It is compact and fits on a regular table. Under the influence of a laser beam, a cut and a thin film remain on the tissues.

    Scientists plan to test the invention and want to use it in neurosurgery, implantology and other medical fields.

    Microchips are at the heart of all modern technology. The smaller their size, the more compact the device will be. Moscow scientists have come up with the thinnest microcircuit in the world, its thickness is only one molecule.

    When the new Russian technology is introduced into production, there will be miniature gadgets, pacemakers and other devices. This invention, according to experts, is capable of "turning the world." It will reduce energy consumption, weight and dimensions of gadgets, and performance will rise to a new level.

    Students from Perm decided to make a robot that can not only move independently, but also communicate with people. They created Promobot, which determines the age and gender of a person, recognizes faces. He owns a huge vocabulary, is connected to the Internet and can answer many questions. Such a robot is suitable for performing the functions of a seller, waiter or administrator. Promobot is used by some Perm shopping and entertainment centers and banks. Its cost is ten thousand dollars, which is much cheaper than Korean counterparts.

    In the coming year, Tomsk Polytechnic University plans to start creating a new X-ray tomograph. It will differ in that it can work with the phase of an electromagnetic wave. While conventional devices work only with its amplitude. This will allow the device to obtain much more information about the structure of the objects of study.

    In addition to application in the medical field, the invention is suitable for diagnosing composite products.

    The project is actively financed by the state and industrial partners.

    Drones are being developed not only in America, but also in our country. At the Urban Forum, the Volgabas company from the city of Volzhsky developed and presented the first unmanned bus. It is made entirely from spare parts of domestic production. Such a bus is suitable for transporting passengers in closed areas. It is planned that in 2018 the first copies will already appear in the capital.

    Rostec Corporation presents the latest unique camera. Its main feature is that it has a short-wave infrared range. It achieves high levels of natural contrasts and better night illumination.

    "All-seeing" cameras can be used in different areas. Among them:

    • monitoring of agricultural land;
    • ship navigation;
    • checking the authenticity of banknotes.

    There are many talented people in Russia who are able to bring many more interesting ideas and inventions. In the coming years, there will be many more new technologies that will radically change the world.

    These inventions deserve not only our attention, but also success on the world stage. After all, these technologies can drastically change our way of life. The good news is that you won't have to wait for years because they're already here and ready to use!

    15. Glowing plants

    For a long time, scientists have been looking for cheaper and more efficient methods of artificial lighting. Finally, they were successful. They managed to create several types of plants that emit light in the dark. Such plants can be used in an urban environment to cut down on electricity bills. Not to mention the fact that a few plants do not hurt the stone jungle.

    14. Vertical farms

    To ensure that humanity will always be provided with healthy and fresh food, scientists and farmers have teamed up and created an innovative farming method. It differs from the traditional one in that the plants are grown indoors, while the emphasis is on saving space. Thanks to this method, people in cities will be able to grow their own food or buy fresh food in stores at any time of the year.

    13. Internet from a balloon

    About four billion people in the world still do not have access to the Internet. Large Internet companies regularly come up with new ways to make the Internet available in all corners of the Earth. So the idea came up to launch balloons into the atmosphere that would “deliver” the Internet to hard-to-reach areas. Such a project will help residents of developing countries to become better acquainted with the outside world and find better-paid jobs.

    12. Biotechnology

    Biotechnology is a branch of science that seeks to combine technology and living organisms for beneficial purposes. Healthy foods range from food, including cheese, yogurt, and kefir, to drugs and biological sensors. Biotechnology continues to improve and offer new solutions. At the moment, the idea of ​​crops that are drought tolerant and contain more vitamins is popular in biotechnology.

    11. Virtual Reality

    Due to the popularity of video games, game companies are constantly developing more and more sophisticated ways to give the player an unforgettable experience. Their main goal is to make us feel that we are living in the game, and not sitting at home in front of the monitor. To achieve this effect, various companies produce a variety of products for immersive virtual reality. One of the most interesting options is the mask, which during the game allows you to even feel the aromas of the wilderness.

    10 Test Tube Meat

    Many people stop eating meat because they don't want to harm animals. To their delight, scientists have come up with a method that allows you to create meat in the laboratory. Not only does this cut off the resources and energy that are spent on raising the animal, this meat is healthier and tastes no different from the real thing. Not to mention how much space will be freed up on the planet when livestock farms disappear.

    9 Exoskeletons

    Of course, we are still far from the Iron Man suit, but the first steps have already been taken - exoskeletons are no longer a fantasy, but a real reality. They return to people with spinal injuries the ability to walk and enjoy life to the fullest. Over time, these primitive exoskeletons will only get better - easier to use, more convenient and cheaper.

    8. Devices controlled by the power of thought

    If you constantly forget where you put your smartphone, this news will appeal to you. Scientists have developed a method that allows you to control devices with the power of thought. This technology was first tested on people who have lost their mobility. It was so successful that as early as 2004 people were playing ping-pong with the power of their minds. Such technology will definitely make our lives easier, not to mention what possibilities it opens up for the video games of the future.

    7. Superfast transport

    The world is constantly expanding, and more and more often we feel the need to be in two places at the same time. Therefore, humanity is constantly looking for ways to move faster. One of the best examples of new technologies in this area is Elon Musk's hyperloop. It promises to be so fast that the six-hour journey from Los Angeles to San Francisco will be covered in thirty minutes. And this is not the only such project under development.

    6. Changing the genome

    As more and more people are being born with genes that make life difficult for them and increase their risk of mortality, geneticists have created technologies that allow you to "cut out" harmful genes, add new ones, and "turn on and off" existing ones. And this is not just a way to make people healthy - this technology can help people who, for example, have always dreamed of being athletes, but lack the necessary genes. Of course, such a procedure is not 100% guaranteed and people will still have to work hard to master the desired skills.

    5. Modern desalination

    Although people have long learned how to obtain drinking water using desalination, the old methods are too laborious and not effective enough. Now humanity has a deeper understanding of physics and chemistry, and scientists have created more efficient ways to desalinate water. Now it can be done not only faster and cheaper, but also with additional benefits. Among them are free minerals. Yes, the water is full of them, and desalinated water can be a cheap source of minerals needed for production. Plus, billions of tons of desalinated water can drink the entire planet.

    4. Real tricorder

    If you're a sci-fi fan, you're probably familiar with this device from Star Trek. It was his characters in the series that were used to measure medical indicators. The real version of this device can measure blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, pulse, temperature, respiration, and diagnose 12 diseases, including chickenpox and HIV.

    3. Drones in agriculture

    More and more farmers are asking for help from modern technology. Drones have become one of these assistants. Although outwardly they resemble those used in the army and film production, their functionality is very different. Their main task is to take infrared images that allow farmers to determine where the seeds germinate successfully and where the problems begin. Some companies are creating agricultural drones that can destroy harmful insects, mold and other things that are unpleasant for the crop.

    2. Super materials

    With a deeper understanding of chemistry, we have learned how to create new, amazing materials. These include graphene, a material that consists of only one layer of carbon atoms. Due to this thickness, it is easily stretched, has high thermal conductivity and at the same time it is 200 times stronger than steel. Graphene can be used to create... anything. Graphene will make armored vehicles, clothes, computers and many other things much better and much more durable.

    1. 4D printers

    You must have heard of 3D printers. But you hardly know about the existence of 4D printers. Both perform the same task - printing materials or special items - but 4D creates objects that are able to change under external influence. The fact is that living conditions are constantly changing, and what we needed yesterday may no longer be needed in a year. To avoid creating things that will only last a short time, researchers have created printers and materials that are amazingly adaptable to all types of environmental changes, damage, and other potential hazards.
