Νew Technologies and Innovation Development in Russia

My piece of advise - learn to read and keep track on this forums. Your link is bullshit and so is a lot I am reading from you like the shipyard comment.

Foreignpolicy has been a joke for long and is frequently made fun of even on sites like zerohedge.


As well, Skolkovo is the only technopark/innograd that gets all the attention but isnt the only one in Russia. There are plenty of technoparks, Special economic zones and even the tatarstan innograd.

As well, as it become pointless to clutter the forums with nonesense, especially ones that are easily disproven, IE, the foreignpolicy link you provided.

If you wish, start a new thread to clutter it with garbage.

In the company "Virshke" started production of a new model printers (digital fulgerator) FOIL PRINT 106.
This model continued the tradition of import substitution began in the company. Compared with the previous version, the share of foreign components decreased significantly. The printer is running the Russian microprocessor "Multiclet", and all the electronics are integrated into a single motherboard. Recycled mechanics allowed to refuse from foreign components.
A unique feature of the printer is the ability to use printed on it heads of various widths — with printing width of 57 mm and 106 mm Print head mounted in a special cartridge holder and are changed by the user in just a few seconds.

The company "Angstrem-T" (Zelenograd) has completed the commissioning and commissioned a lot of equipment to automate the production of semiconductor products with the topological rules of 90 nm.
A member of the party included more than a dozen high-tech robotic machines, including 13 storage of finished products and used in the manufacture of photomasks, as well as 3 sorter semiconductor products. Total installed equipment provides storage for about 1.5 thousand containers of products and 800 containers of photomasks.
"This equipment greatly simplifies logistics processes in production, allows you to better organize traffic control batches. In addition, we create high-tech jobs and at the same time reducing the number of personnel employed in labour-intensive transport operations," said Executive Director of JSC "Angstrem-T" Sergey Sarkisov.
The total cost of the installed equipment amounted to approximately 17 million.

Developed by "TEAM" (enters into holding "ROTEC") energy storage based on supercapacitors were tested in leading Russian scientific and engineering organizations, which are confirmed by their specific energy and power parameters at the level of the best world analogues.

Engineers-developers TEAM were the experimental samples supercapacitors capacity from 1,000 to 3,000 farads, voltage to 2.7 volts as well as modules with voltage up to 150 volts on the basis of these supercapacitors.

Continuous cyclic testing of a single supercapacitor capacity of 3000 f in Physico-technical Institute named after A. F. Ioffe in St. Petersburg confirmed operating current 500 amps, 3 to 4 times the performance of existing domestic and foreign analogues.

Test limit regimes of work conducted at the site of the physical faculty of one of Moscow universities, experimentally confirmed the operability of superconducting module when the short-circuit currents not less than 14 000 And (for supercapacitors capacity of 3000 f).

"Micron", controlled by Sistema, plans to create in Russia the production of advanced integrated circuits with process technology 28 nm. The project will soon be discussed with the President of Russia Vladimir Putin, writes "Kommersant" with reference to sources.

According to them, a meeting on the development of microelectronics under the chairmanship of the head of state will be held in mid-July.

"Prior to the production of chips at the 45 nm technology even walk through deep modernization of existing production facilities, but for 28 nm need to create a completely new production. It is a matter of national security," said the source close to the Ministry of industry and trade.

The project of establishment of a factory for the production of 28 nm chips appeared on the initiative of "Micron", was pre-approved by Sistema and is now being discussed by the Ministry of industry and trade, the Ministry of economy and Ministry of Finance, said the representative of "Micron" Alexey Dianov.

"Searching optimal ways of structuring and financing. The approximate cost of setting up such a factory is $1.5 billion," he said.

Top-Manager of "the System" confirmed "Kommersant" the existence of this project and noted that "without state support to implement it." In power refused to comment.

"Micron" since 2011 produces 90 nm chips in 2015 plans to launch mass production of 65 nm chips. In 2013, the company had revenues of $ 6.9 billion, net loss — 839 million.

The volume of this market in 2014 was about $2.78 billion, according to expert estimates, is about 0.4% of the world. Chips with the topology of 28 nm develop global leaders Qualcomm, Samsung, Altera — for smartphones Samsung, Sony, Motorola, HTC, iPhone 5S.

In Russia such chips are developed by companies "T-Platforms" (under the brand Baikal) and MCST (under the brand of "Elbrus"), also the construction work design centers "Elvis" and KM211.

Sistema is also already tried to occupy a niche in the microelectronics market six years ago, planning to buy a stake in German Infineon, but the deal fell through. Market participants now doubt that Western companies will want to share technologies.

before reading this news, I thought Yota phones were manufactured in Russia, can't Russia compete against foreign electronic products (in terms of quality, price) by manufacturing these devices inside Russia?

Maybe this was already posted and I am sorry if it has. But this is very important step in IC future.

But none of them are small but large companies or state run. Because outside of that, majority of companies dont want to spend their earnings to progress (the old addage is: you need to spend money to make money) or are not wanting to invent anything due to not willing to take a chance unless there is clear short term gains.

Rostec was invented purely to get Russias various tech and manufacturing industries under one conglanorate in order to fix all the issues left over by soviet union and then 90's piss poor management. Now the company(s) are churning out major profits (even under sanctions) and brand new competitive technology. It litterally took the state to fix the mess that huge portion of thesd industries were in. Now Rostec is one of the largest corporations in the world. Rusnano as well has grown through its domestic and foreign investments were they no longer need state funding.  T-Platforms made enough to start engineering their own processors (Baikal series. Which Yota devices are going to start using. I imagine other brands, especially Russian, will move to as well).

At the Tomsk State University of Control Systems and Radio Electronics (TUSUR), researchers have developed new technology that could make it possible to build computers which use light to transmit a signal rather than electricity, the website of this Siberian university announced.

“Studies being conducted at TUSUR are bringing scientists closer to creating compact, very small and non-volatile components to control light beams, which could then be used to process and transmit data in photonic computers with a reduced loss of energy and at much higher speeds than it is possible with current electronics,” the developers claim.

The project results stemmed from broader research, in which the scientists were figuring how to control light beams in a crystal. A method was developed, enabling the team to use laser technology to ‘save’ information in lithium niobate crystals.

At the core of the innovative approach was a combination of what’s known as the beam refraction effect inside a crystal at a certain angle in certain conditions and the electrical field effect in the crystal.

The approach enabled the researchers to obtain crystals with a photonic structure ‘built’ by the light, a network of waveguides a few microns each in diameter, which were then used to transmit a light signal.

“Such crystals with waveguide optical structures ‘saved’ inside could be likened to printed circuit boards that are currently used in electronics,” the developers said.

At the moment, TUSUR has an experimental prototype system; by next year the team plans to get it patented.

Scientists at the nanooptics and plasmonics lab of MIPT, one of Russia’s most renowned tech universities, have used graphene oxide to make a supersensitive biosensor. The sensor may help develop new drugs and vaccines, the MIPT website announced.

The researchers say it is a new generation of chips which can make it possible to test drugs and drug candidates outside of the human body. Practice which is standard today calls for use of markers inserted into a patient. It is expected that the technology might revolutionize the entire philosophy of new drug development and help physicians defeat some of the diseases which we normally refer to as incurable.

The solution that comes from MIPT, aka Phystech, is based on the use of surface plasmons, electromagnetic waves that occur right where a conductor and a dielectric meet as a result of resonance interaction between photons and electrons. The resonance parameters are fully dependent on the properties of a surface used, which enables the identification of a negligibly small quantity of a substance available on the surface.

For example, the sensor is said to be able to pinpoint one-trillionth of a gram of a substance on a one square millimeter area. A device based on such a sensor could monitor molecular reactions on a real time basis.

“By watching them react, we could understand what sort of chemical reaction is occurring, and assess its speed; which means we could be precise in determining how this or that substance impacts a cell or a pathogenic germ,” said Yuri Stebunov, one of the key developers.

It will take some time and improvements and tests before the chip becomes standard in clinical practice. If produced on a large scale, this new graphene oxide based biochip may have a very competitive price tag of less than $10. Biochips currently available in the market cost anything between $80 and $200.

"Inventions "technodynamics" allow 20 times the performance of existing technologies drawing metal, three times to improve the quality of finishing section bars on metallurgical and engineering companies, as well as a 5-fold increase in tool life."

The IPM first in Russia created a stand nanolithography with a design resolution of 30 nanometers. For the first time in Russia created a stand projection nanolithograph a wavelength of 13.5 nm and 30 nm resolution of the settlement. Image nanostructures with the decrease of 1: 5 is projected on the photoresist using dvuzerkalnogo aspherical lens. Creating a stand indicates the presence in Russia of key technologies to develop and produce lithography equipment, which in the coming years will be a key in the production of chips with topological 8-22 nm.
