Nanotechnology news

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.

Researchers from Johns Hopkins University (USA) are working on creating a new type of armor for police and military, which is based on an ultralight shock-absorbing material. It does not have its own name yet, it is an experimental development based on elastomers. Such liquid crystal polymers are already widely used in robotics to create artificial muscles.

Russian scientists together with foreign colleagues have developed a full-fledged bioelectronic photocell based on just one molecule of a luminous protein connected to a carbon nanotube. Such a system is capable of changing its electronic properties under the influence of light and, depending on how to attach the protein, it can either serve as a spotlight or store information.

Experts from the University of Cambridge (UK) told about the creation of a material that can be ideally suited for the development of artificial leather and robotic arms.

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have created a kind of heavy-duty plastic. A new type of polymer material was named 2DPA-1. According to experts, it is about twice as strong as steel and resembles Kevlar in structure, does not conduct electricity and does not come into contact with gases.

Rostec has developed a glass with double light transmittance for the A-100 "Premier" aircraft

The Russian long-range radar detection and control aircraft (AWACS) has received a unique protective glass. The special composition made it possible to almost double the light transmittance. This is reported by TASS with reference to the press service of Rostec.

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology reported a breakthrough – they managed to obtain a two-dimensional form of a polymer material, which at first glance has solid advantages without disadvantages.

Potential suppliers of servers running on Russian Elbrus processors have amicably ignored the 480-million tender of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for their supply. "Iron" was planned to be used to fix traffic violations in Moscow.

Specialists from the National Research Center "Kurchatov Institute" together with colleagues from the Institute of Synthetic Polymer Materials and the Institute of Organoelement Compounds of the Russian Academy of Sciences have developed a technology that improves the quality of rubber obtained from organosilicon rubber. It allowed not only to turn rubber into rubber, but also to significantly improve the mechanical properties of the resulting materials.

The search for an eco-friendly replacement for plastic led a team of researchers from the University of Birmingham in the UK and Duke University in the USA to sweets. Scientists have managed to create unusual types of plastic with "unprecedented" characteristics based on sugar alcohols.

A scientist at the Quantum Electronics Center of the Shvabe Holding has received a grant from the President of Russia, which will be used to develop a new generation of high-power IR laser emitters based on nanostructures, the press service of the holding said on Tuesday.

Samsung was the first company in the world to implement the process of computing in MRAM RAM. Magnetoresistive RAM has the potential to replace the usual DRAM, having many advantages. However, when it comes to computing directly in memory, there are a number of problems.
