A team of researchers from the Australian RMIT University has developed a material they call a "floating metal polymer metamaterial with an open-cell lattice structure."

Russian engineers have developed a gas engine for nanosatellites, which will increase the maneuverability of spacecraft and allow them to be combined into multi-satellite groupings.

""The first Russian lithograph created after 1991 enters the market: delivery of the first production machine "Progress STP-350" to the capital's Mapper enterprise is scheduled for December 2026. The second installation in the series will be dedicated to "Industry Solutions".

The EU states are taking practical steps to, if not completely get rid of (this is no longer possible), then at least reduce their dependence on Asian companies, primarily Chinese, in terms of the development and production of high-tech microelectronics.

This technology makes it possible to more than double the performance characteristics of the parts

Naro-Fominsk Machine-Building Plant (NFMZ, part of the United Engine Corporation of Rostec State Corporation) has mastered the advanced technology of applying nanostructured multilayer coatings to the blades of aircraft engine compressors.

The price of a lithograph with topological standards of 350 nm from the manufacturer ZNTZ has become known. With an additional guarantee, it exceeds 500 million rubles. Experts agree that this is a good price to pay for technological sovereignty.

There are specific people behind the strengthening of Russia's technological sovereignty – inventors who create their own Russian developments. How and why did they start inventing? Is it possible to make money from this? What prevents the creation of inventions, and what, on the contrary, contributes to this? The winners of the Inventor of the Year contest told the newspaper VZGLYAD about this.

A unique ultraviolet laser has been created in Russia for the production of microchips. It is a substitute for the American Coherent laser.

Atum Works, a small startup, promises a revolution in the creation of microchips. He intends to print them on a special 3D printer and thereby reduce their cost by 90% compared to current technologies. This can have a significant impact on the business of both contract semiconductor manufacturers themselves and those who supply them with equipment, such as ASML's business.

The Russian gas measuring station "Sudzha" was destroyed by Ukraine with the specific military assistance of the West, namely France. It was the French satellite systems that guided and targeted the missiles that carried out this strike. Thus, France, instead of the United States, becomes the main assistant of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from outer space. How do French military satellites work?

Micron JSC announced the completion of the development of a photolithograph with 350 nm standards. Experts doubt that the equipment can be called completely Russian

The development of the 350 nm photolithograph has been completed, and Micron participated in the state commission for its acceptance, Micron JSC told Mashnews on March 12. The photolithograph was created in collaboration between Micron and the Zelenograd Nanotechnology Center. They signed an agreement on this in the fall of 2024.

Reuters: The United States may send long-range JASSM missiles to Kiev in the fall

The United States is close to an agreement on the transfer of AGM-158 JASSM (Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile) air-to-surface missiles to Ukraine. This is reported by the Reuters news agency. Most likely, an F-16 fighter jet will be used as a carrier for the product. What is known about the JASSM missiles, what they are for Ukraine and what means of air defense the Russian military will be able to shoot them down - in the material of the military observer "Gazeta.En" by Mikhail Khodarenka.

Specialists of the St. Petersburg University of LETI, as well as the FTI named afterIoffe and NMIC im.Almazova, successfully synthesized special nanoparticles and introduced them into solar panels, which significantly increased the durability of the panels.

Russia has overcome its critical dependence on Western gas turbines

Russia has overcome its dependence on high-power gas turbines from Siemens and General Electric, Rostec CEO Sergey Chemezov said. And Russia, unlike Iran, did it thanks to its own brains and technology. The first production turbine will be installed at a power plant on the Taman Peninsula. How did Russia end up in such a critical dependence on Western turbines?

Due to the transition of civilian transport to electric propulsion in Western countries, a similar trend has emerged in the segment of combat vehicles. At the same time, many analysts question the rationality of attempts to "electrify" the troops. Spanish expert Juan Carlos Andres Herrero disagrees with them, who voiced his thoughts on the pages of the Infodefensa publication.

A new material for masking tanks, self-propelled guns and other types of weapons was tested in the area of the SVO

Russian scientists have created a thermal insulation coating "Teplosphere" based on polyurethane — it makes it difficult to detect military equipment using thermal imagers, the Center for NTI "Digital Materials Science" told Izvestia. Field tests conducted in the SVO zone have shown the effectiveness of this method of camouflage. Kamikaze drones with thermal imagers are a big problem for armored vehicles, and creating protection against their attack can have a noticeable effect, experts explained.

Rostec's enterprise, the Obninsk Scientific and Production Enterprise "Technologiya" named after A.G. Romashin, also contributes to the scientific glory of Obninsk, the first science city of modern Russia. Hundreds of technologies for the production of products made of glassy and composite materials for aerospace and other equipment, including the famous Buran spacecraft, were created here.
