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.

This method refers to passive methods of combating space debris

The S. A. Lavochkin NGO (part of Roscosmos) proposed using universal inflatable modules to take out of orbit spacecraft that have developed a resource. This is stated in the theses to the report of the company's specialists to the XLVI Academic Readings on Cosmonautics in memory of S.P. Korolev (Royal Readings).

Scientists The evolution of the shape of nanowires from GaN obtained by plasma-activated molecular beam epitaxy and representing an array of vertical columns on a silicon substrate was traced by the Institute of Physics and Applied Mathematics of MIET.

The ex-head of Rusnano compared the energy transition with the information revolution of the XX century. A country that does not complete this process will look like it would look now without the Internet, he believes

F-35 fighters will have their service life extended with the help of lasers. January 3, portal defbrief.com He reported that the first F-35B of the US Marine Corps returned to service after the laser shock treatment procedure.

Stealth technologies and radiation protection - what the new glass is capable of.

For many years, the glazing produced by ONPP "Technology" has been used in the aerospace industry. 

Scientists of the Department of Physical and Colloidal Chemistry of the Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas (NIU) have created a new approach to the synthesis of nanomaterials.

On November 19, 2021, it became known that the state-owned company was on the verge of default. So, a message about a meeting with creditors and large bondholders appeared on the company's website.

Engineers of the State Scientific Center of Russia in the field of photoelectronics of the Shvabe holding are preparing projects for the creation of products for IR technology, including on crystals with the prefix "nano", the press service of the holding reports.

Representatives of the Lavochkin Scientific and Production Association at the Dubai Airshow-2021 International Aerospace Exhibition in the United Arab Emirates met with potential customers of the company's products and services, Roscosmos reported on Thursday.
