Skoltech scientists create new super hard material stronger than cemented carbide

June 25, 17:56 UTC+3
Chemists from Russia and China have discovered a way of synthesizing a new ultra-hard material which is 50% harder than pobedit

MOSCOW, June 25. /TASS/. Chemists from Russia and China have discovered a way of synthesizing a new ultra-hard material which is 50% harder than pobedit (cemented carbide) and which can be used down the road in drilling technologies, machine building, and other fields. This groundbreaking news was announced by the press office of the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology (Skoltech).

Ultra-hard substances have a wide range of application covering drilling technologies, machine building, metal processing, and other areas of industry. The hardest known material is the diamond, but by the same token, it is the most expensive. For example, the more affordable pobedit is widely used in drilling heads (a composite material of tungsten carbide with cobalt) and has remained unrivalled for the past 80 years.

The Skoltech researchers led by Professor Artem Oganov and with the aid of an evolutionary algorithm USPEX invented by him predicted a new material which can be synthesized under normal pressure and which can be a successful rival to pobedit if the two most important parameters (hardness and fracture toughness) are considered. Although the new material ranks lower by about 20% in fracture toughness, it is 50% harder than pobedit.

The new material is a previously unknown substance, WB5, which can be easily obtained under normal conditions. According to the authors of the study, the tungsten-boron system was the subject of numerous experimental and theoretical studies, but this compound had not been discovered until now.

"Before, we discovered this material, we had studied a large amount of systems, trying to predict stable chemical compounds and calculate their properties. There were many promising substances among them, but they couldn’t compete with pobedit. At some point, I even thought that the pobedit could not be beaten as it held its niche for almost a hundred years and for good reason. But suddenly, we saw a ray of light at the end of the tunnel, and found a unique compound WB5," said Artem Oranov, head of the research team.

The study was carried out within the framework of Gazprom Neft’s major project aimed at creating new materials for drilling technologies. The study’s results were published in the prominent scientific journal The Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters.

Moscow will show the world's fastest blockchain platform on "Innoprom"

MOSCOW, July 6 - RIA Novosti. The Moscow government will take part in the ninth international industrial exhibition Innoprom-2018, where the capital will present the world's fastest blockade platform and a system for analyzing the traffic situation and ensuring traffic safety, RIA Novosti reported Moscow Deputy Mayor Natalia Sergunina on Friday.

The exhibition "Innoprom-2018" will be held in Yekaterinburg from 9 to 12 July. The capital government will be represented for the first time by the collective stand Made in Moscow, Sergunina noted.

"Twenty Moscow manufacturers will present more than 40 of their latest developments, competitive, including in international markets, some of which have no analogues both in Russia and abroad .For example, the world's fastest block-platform platform, a system for analyzing the traffic situation and traffic safety, artificial intelligence, which allows to prevent accidents at work in real time, as well as innovative solutions in the areas of cybersecurity and virtual reality, "said the vice-mayor.

Unique laser: in Russia figured out how to transfer solar energy across large distances

Specialists holding "Schwabe" are developing a unique device for transmitting solar energy over long distances.

First Deputy General Director of the shvabe holding Sergey Popov in interview to journalists "RIA Novosti" was told about the innovative project domestic specialists. According to him, Russian scientists are developing a unique laser that is able to convert solar energy and transmit it over long distances.

As noted by the interlocutor of journalists, the developers plan to place in orbit a satellite with the system including oxygen-iodine laser. This device is equipped with an adaptive mirror, which focuses solar energy. Then, it will form a powerful laser beam, which is directed to the Ground. It is supposed that thus it will be possible to supply electricity to remote regions of our planet.

Sergey Popov added that the specialists of "shvabe" a laboratory plant, which sends the solar beam into the laser oscillator where the energy falls into a special receiver, where it is converted to electricity. The expert said that the carried out in the laboratory experiments have confirmed the feasibility of this project.

That is the first thing that strikes one's mind.   There must have been serious improvements in efficiency of this laser system to
make it viable.   So it can tap into a lot of power and do something useful with it.   Frying enemy targets would indeed be quite
useful.

Next generation Russian ICBM reentry vehicles could power their MP4 players on the way down from energy provided by US ABM lasers... listen to some tunes as it comes down to vapourise some Democrats and Republicans...

Schwabe demonstrated a new infrared camera on the "Army-2018"

important to post since its Russias own Microbolometer technology from NPO Orion.

"Schwabe" will introduce innovations in instrument-making together with the Institute TISNUM

MOSCOW, August 24. / TASS /. The Orion Research and Production Association (part of the Schwabe holding company) will introduce innovations in instrument engineering in conjunction with specialists from the Technological Institute of Superhard and New Carbon Materials (TISNUM). This implies the agreement on cooperation signed during the exhibition "Army-2018".

Yevgeni Chepurnov, the general director of the NGO, told journalists that the organizations will be engaged in the implementation of projects in the field of civil and special instrument making, as well as the introduction of innovative products in the series.

In addition, a number of research and development works are planned using continuous one-dimensional materials based on carbon nanotubes.

"By combining our efforts, we will achieve a significant increase in efficiency and get an additional impetus for the development of scientific and technical potential," said Chepurnov.

The first in Russia center of industrial robotics on the basis of Polytech was opened in St. Petersburg

Classes on the basis of this center will be included in the educational program of the university
SAINT-PETERSBURG, September 18. / TASS /. Japanese company Kawasaki Robotics has opened the first in Russia scientific and educational center of industrial robotics with a unique set of robots on the basis of St. Petersburg Polytechnic University Peter the Great (Polytech).

"This is the only center in Russia, the largest one, as the full range of robots is represented by a wide range of functions: from robot welders, to robots that paint, and unique robots that can move objects in 3D space to 2-3 meters by weight 700 kg, and the operation takes a few seconds, we will add [a collection of robots] to it, "the rector of the Polytekh, Andrei Rudskoy, told journalists.

As the rector explained, classes based on the Kawasaki-Polytech center will be included in the educational program of the university, in cooperation with the city's industrial enterprises, specialists will be trained here to work in the modern conditions, namely, robotics specialists. "We intend in the near future to become a federal center for the training of engineers in this direction for Russia and for the countries of Eastern and Western Europe," he said.

As the Consul General of Japan in St. Petersburg Masanori Fukushima said at the opening ceremony, the event is marked in the calendar of the Year of Japan in Russia and will give a new impetus to the development of relations between the countries. "I hope that this center will become not only a training center, but also a good place to create joint technological developments in this field," he said.
