From 2024, it is planned to produce two such power plants annually.

Growing tensions between the US and China have provoked a new push in Washington aimed at reducing US dependence on East Asia — the global epicenter of semiconductor production — for vital microelectronics needed to create both conventional weapons and artificial intelligence algorithms.

We need to finalize the equipment of our military to the highest level as soon as possible – already this year. This task was set by the head of the Ministry of Defense Sergei Shoigu. Now the troops use the "Warrior", which has been massively introduced over the past ten years. But during this time, new materials, technologies have appeared, and the specifics of combat have changed. What is required from the equipment of the new generation, based on the experience of its own?

Under the Loongson brand, the 3D5000 processor was announced – the first 32-core CPU of the brand. These are two 16-core server 3C5000, placed on the same substrate. The processor will not be delivered to Russia – according to the decision of the Chinese authorities, Russians, as well as residents of other countries, access to all Loongson developments is closed.

In recent years, research on the study of neutrino particles and their possible interaction with substances has intensified, which was a direct consequence of the awarding of the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physics to Takaaki Kajita and Arthur B. McDonald, the heads of two experimental groups, Super-Kamiokande and SNO, studying the properties of neutrinos.

Reuters: Boeing has offered to supply Kiev with ammunition for strikes against Russia

Boeing has offered the United States to supply Ukraine with high-precision ammunition for GLSDB ground-based missile systems, which will allow Kiev to strike "far behind Russia's lines," Reuters writes.

We talk about new developments of the domestic defense enterprise for medicine

To heal serious wounds in a few days, and not to spend long weeks in the hospital, to completely defeat or learn to restrain the development of oncological diseases — these desires seem either unattainable, or the prospect of long decades.

The intersectoral photonics cluster was formed by the decision of the Moscow government on the platform of the Moscow Innovation Cluster. About half of the four dozen companies already registered in the cluster are microelectronics enterprises that are residents of the Technopolis Moscow Special Economic Zone (SEZ).

The resident of the Technopolis Moscow Special Economic Zone (SEZ) – Zelenograd Nanotechnology Center (JSC ZNTC) – has started producing import-substituting microelectronics for industrial automation, robotics and other high-tech industries. This was announced by the head of the Department of Investment and Industrial Policy, which is part of the Complex of Economic Policy and Property and Land Relations of the capital, Vladislav Ovchinsky.

NYT: The US got involved in a war not only with Russia, but also with China

The US presidential administration has adopted new export rules that will deprive China of the opportunity to buy the most advanced semiconductors in the West, the NYT reports. In fact, the author of the article notes, Washington has declared a technological war on China "because of the tight control within the PRC itself and the creeping expansion of its presence" abroad

The holding company "Roselektronika" of the Rostec State Corporation has started research on the method of molecular layering for the synthesis of a new generation of composites.

The domestic space industry should radically change the approaches to the creation of orbital vehicles, says the head of Roscosmos Yuri Borisov. How are Russian satellites arranged today, what are their disadvantages compared to foreign competitors, and how are satellites proposed to be changed?

Army-2022 Forum: Collective intelligence and artificial intelligence

On August 21, the International Military-Technical Forum "Army-2022" completed its work. Once again, the forecasts of our so-called Western partners about the isolation of Russia have been put to shame. Tens of thousands of specialists, experts, members of foreign delegations, ordinary citizens attended the events of the forum. The Forum has become a new breakthrough for Russia in military and military-technical activities.

In 2023, Russian developers plan to begin conceptual development and definition of the appearance of combat equipment of the new, conditionally fourth generation for soldiers of the future. Research work, during which the details and composition of the latest equipment will be determined, will be carried out by specialists of the Central Research Institute of Precision Engineering (Tsniitochmash), part of the Kalashnikov Concern. This decision was made in the Russian Ministry of Defense.

The Plastics Plant is one of the country's leading manufacturers of modern industrial explosives. In particular, the company extracts explosives from decommissioned ammunition, and as a result of such disposal, they have learned to obtain a unique product – nanodiamond charge. Demand for it is growing all over the world, because nanodiamonds are widely used in various fields: from quantum electronics to medicine.

The Bitblaze Titan laptop of the Russian company Promobit on the Baikal-M CPU appeared in a "live" photo in a new thinner case. The exterior is made of aluminum and provides for the possibility of customization, for example, the choice of color of the touchpad. To Western experts, the laptop looks like an Apple MacBook Pro. Production of the Bitblaze Titan will begin at the end of 2022.

The Soyuz-2.1b launch vehicle launched yesterday delivered a number of satellites to the calculated orbit, including CUBESX-HSE-2 vehicles, as well as SXC3-214 MIET-AIS, which received engines based on the plasma of the new VERA development and created in Russia by MEPhI engineers.

NATO relies on artificial intelligence

At the meeting of the heads of State and Government of NATO countries in Madrid on June 29, 2022, a new strategic concept (SC-22) was approved, which sets out the priorities, tasks and approaches of the bloc for the next decade.
