Armorer Lobaev urges to rely on private initiative

The trademark of the weapon "Lobaev Arms", under which the Integrated Systems Design Bureau LLC produces its products, does not need to be introduced to anyone who is fond of sports shooting, hunting, or works in the security units of the special services.

Japan and the United States are planning to open a new research center that will develop next-generation 2-nanometer chips. It will be created by the Institute for Chip Research in cooperation with the University of Tokyo and the Institute of Natural Sciences (Riken). Technical support will be provided by the National Center for Semiconductor Technologies of the USA. Specialists will also be from there.

The Keldysh Center, located in the Moscow Likhobors, has been engaged in space engines since its foundation. Now work is underway here on one of the most promising projects of Russian cosmonautics – a nuclear tug for interplanetary flights "Zeus".

Over decades of space exploration, scientists have found out that only in zero gravity it is possible to create some "unearthly" materials. This is what the ForgeStar platform produced by the Welsh startup Space Forge will do.

Where is the militarization of space going

An analysis of the available indirect and direct signs of preparations for an arms race in outer space suggests that there is less and less time and opportunities for proactive diplomatic steps on the PARAC. Let's analyze this situation using the example of US military space preparations both at the political and doctrinal level and in the military-technical sphere.

On Friday, the Kostroma Military Academy of Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection named after Marshal of the Soviet Union S. K. Timoshenko held solemn events dedicated to the 90th anniversary of its formation.

Scientists of the MIPT Applied Nanotechnology Laboratory have developed and tested a new digital receiver board based mainly on Russian components. It will provide communications for small spacecraft. Boeing, Airbus and Thales have similar solutions, but the domestic version differs in that it implements the functions of the whole device in a single chip.

The Warrior combat equipment has managed to become legendary in 10 years

The military equipment of the soldier "Ratnik" has been serving for 10 years to increase the combat effectiveness, prestige and protection of servicemen of the Russian Army. It has long been appreciated. Both the command and the ordinary servicemen defending the interests of our country love and are proud of her.

In Russia, the long-planned construction of a factory has started, which will produce microprocessors using 28 nm technology. Production is planned to be established in Zelenograd. Whether it will be possible to complete the project against the background of sanctions is an open question.

Russian scientists from Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) have developed the first Russian-made 3D printer for printing in space in microgravity. This is reported by "Gazeta.<url>" with reference to the press service of the university.

Residents of the Technopolis Moscow special economic zone and scientists of the National Research University "MIET" are conducting research to create an installation that will allow printing chips with a size of 28 nanometers and below, which are in demand in modern microelectronics.

The Obukhov plant, as part of the diversification of production and an increase in the share of civilian products, begins production of a "Sand 3D printer" and an atomizer, the press service of the Almaz-Antey Concern of East Kazakhstan Region, which the company is part of, reports.

Micron intends to double the volume of silicon wafers produced in the coming years in order to overcome the shortage of domestic semiconductors in Russia. For this, the plant will need 10 billion rubles. "Micron" intends to purchase used production equipment, which in recent years has become a standard global practice in this industry.

The special operation emphasized the role of precision weapons

The United States and Britain have today retargeted their commercial satellite systems Starlink and OneWeb to collect intelligence information in the interests of the armed formations of Ukraine. A plan is being hatched to disconnect Russia from the GPS system. How can all this, coupled with the ban on the import of software (software), affect the performance of combat missions by our troops in the combat zone, the production of high-precision weapons by the defense industry?

For the first time, Russian scientists have synthesized a super-rigid material based on carbon nanostructures with scandium. The resulting material consisted of interconnected fullerene molecules with scandium and carbon atoms inside.

In Russia, the Storm 3450E3R rack server appeared under the Depo brand. This is the most localized server, since it is assembled in Russia and is based on the Depo development board, on which the Elbrus-8SV CPU of the domestic MCST is located. All hardware is controlled by the Russian OS "Alt Server" 10 of the company "Basalt SPO".

How are high-tech materials for electronics, energy and textile industries being created in Russia today, what developments are St. Petersburg scientists ready to offer and what will happen to their projects next? This was not only discussed at a press conference at the TASS office in St. Petersburg.

On a web resource habr.com Denis Shamiryan (@CorneliusAgrippa), CEO of MAPPER LLC (semiconductor factory for the contract production of MEMS devices), "Microelectronics in Russia before and after 02/24/2022", has published an interesting material on the current state of microelectronics production in Russia and on the possibilities to create a fully localized production of microelectronic components under large-scale Western sanctions.

Russian physicists have shown that it is possible to use tunnel contact for spectroscopy of the electronic states of carbon nanotubes. The proposed tunneling contact manufacturing technology and spectroscopy method will help to accurately determine the band gap of nanotubes, which is a key characteristic for the development of any electronic devices based on them.

Promising samples of weapons show that, technically, the Russian army is at the forefront

While once fraternal countries, to the detriment of their own interests, reviling everything that reminds of a great neighbor, admire Turkish "Bayraktars", Russian engineering thought is constantly progressing, and the domestic military-industrial complex does not cease to delight with novelties in the field of weapons, military and special equipment.
