It's a true behemoth.

But I don't see this coming to fruition any time soon. Just a megalomania plan, until such time as the demand for hydrogen reaches sufficient levels

Oh please.  They can export the electricity to China and even Japan.    Exporting oil and gas is not the only option.

The scale of the power generation is not just some number pulled from the ass.   It is based on the large number of generators that can be horizontally
stacked in the narrows.    The Bay of Fundy in Canada may have higher tides but does not have the right coastal geometry.    The latter has a span
of 46 km whereas the narrows forming a mouth to Penzhina Bay is 26 km.  

I don't think that region is even connected to the main Russian power grid

And even if it was, the loses will be huge over such a long distance, and transferring 100GW worth of power (because for sure there's nothing there that would warrant even 1% of that capacity)

Besides, who says that China and Japan would want to import such an amount of electricity rather than building up their own capacities?

I think its only realistic use is in generating hydrogen. When the world market for that picks up, then we can see.

Doesn't Russia have the UES(Unified Energy System)? It could just use all that power for itself and get rid of all it's older and more polluting plants in one go as well as exporting electricity and hydrogen on the side.

Rostec put a video of a testing session of a Russian 5 axis overhead CNC milling machine manufactured by STAN, this was uploaded back in May but I didn't notice it anywhere.

In the test session, they milled out a 100kg scale model of an Aurus vehicle.

A few things to note, I looked at STAN's website and didn't find the model number present on their website, which is strange considering how many other paper machines exist on their website but not in metal, there's only a few that actually have real examples manufactured in their model line.

STAN was always considered by those "in the know" in Russian machinery circles to be on the flaky side in terms of actually manufacturing local made products, as one of their big things was simply importing sanctioned tech through shell companies essentially and building machines for Russian industry through this.

Though if Rostec put their weight behind this and put this on their website, then perhaps STAN got going in terms of making their own serious tech.

This is extremely good for Russian industry, these machines are needed like air.

MTS launches MTS GROM supercomputer. 

PJSC MTS, a leading Russian digital, media and telecommunications services provider, announces the launch of the MTS GROM supercomputer, which has a performance of 2.26 petaflops, making it the third most powerful supercomputer in Russia.

MTS will use MTS GROM to develop the digital ecosystem. On its basis, the MTS Artificial Intelligence Center plans to implement internal and external projects in the field of customer service and improving the operational efficiency of the business. The supercomputer will accelerate the creation and launch of products in the field of machine vision and industrial analytics, natural language processing, and intelligent video surveillance. Universities, large scientific and medical centers will be able to use MTS GROM in research related to modeling complex processes.

A supercomputer plays a key role in training artificial intelligence algorithms. The computing power of MTS GROM allows you to create more complex models, test many times more hypotheses, and train neural networks dozens of times faster than before. This directly affects the quality of products developed by the MTS Artificial Intelligence Center and the speed of their launch to the market.

In the future, MTS GROM's high-performance capacities will be available to Russian companies in the #CloudMTS provider's portfolio. This will allow large businesses to significantly reduce the time spent developing and implementing projects based on artificial intelligence and big data. For startups, reduce the cost of high-performance computing for speech analysis, video processing, and facial recognition by hundreds of times. For example, in fintech, MTS GROM resources can be used to develop remote identification solutions or to assess credit risks.

The supercomputer is deployed by the cloud provider #CloudMTS in its own MTS data center based on the integrated NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD solution. This solution provides not only fast implementation of supercomputing systems, but also scalable performance for performing the most complex tasks of AI and high-performance computing.

MTS GROM is the most powerful supercomputer not only in the Russian, but also in the European and American telecom. In the world ranking of high-performance cars, it ranks 241.

"MTS is creating a digital ecosystem for Russian companies. Based on MTS GROM, we will develop the most promising technologies related to artificial intelligence, big data analysis and cloud solutions. The MTS GROM supercomputer is designed to increase the company's technological efficiency, as well as form the basis for future services that businesses and scientific organizations will be able to receive in the #CloudMTS cloud, significantly saving money" – Oleg Motovilov, Director of MTS cloud business said.

About the MTS GROM supercomputer:

The supercomputer allows you to massively run many parallel calculations at once on all computing nodes (servers). The solution is implemented on the basis of the NVIDIA DGX A100 hardware and software platform with NVIDIA A100 GPUs with a total memory of 320 GB.

Computing nodes are connected by a high-speed Infiniband network. This is a switched computer network that is used in high-performance computing and has high bandwidth and low latency.

The MTS GROM computing cluster is equipped with a NetApp data storage system based on NVMe technology, which provides ultra-fast interaction of computing nodes with the data storage system to reduce the training time of AI models.

The girl in the vid puts it through its paces.
She claims that the two 5-litre bottles feel like they weigh nothing when she picks them up, and she also managed to pick up a 20-kg tray that she couldn't manage without the exoskeleton

Would hv been an amazing news without that tiktok at the end. Gosh I hate tiktok so much...

Russian scientists have developed a multi-sensor chip for rapid monitoring of air quality. 

Researchers of the St. Petersburg State Electrotechnical University (SPbGETU) "LETI" together with colleagues from the Saratov State Technical University named after Yu. A. Gagarin (SGTU) have created a unique chip that will allow you to diagnose the state of the environment, as well as control the emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere.

Today, special attention is paid to monitoring the content of chemicals in the air. Analysis of the concentration of gases and various impurities in indoor and outdoor areas is necessary for monitoring the state of the environment, controlling the release of pollutants into the atmosphere, as well as for non-invasive diagnostics of respiratory diseases. Usually, special gas analysis systems are used to detect the level of air pollution — expensive and non-mobile.

The joint development of scientists from St. Petersburg State Electrotechnical University "LETI" and Saratov State Technical University named after Yu.A. Gagarin will simplify the process of air diagnostics, make it faster and less expensive. Their invention-a multi-sensor chip weighing only 5 g-is related to the field of sensor technology and nanotechnology.

According to Svetlana Nalimova, Associate Professor of the Department of Micro - and Nanoelectronics at St. Petersburg State Technical University "LETI", one of the creators of the chip, the main difference between their device is that it consists of several adsorption chemoresistive sensors, which allows you to detect the presence of several gases in the air. Existing analogues on the market are able to distinguish only one type of gas.

"Using mathematical processing of signals coming from several sensors, gases are separated. In this invention, this is shown by the example of vapors of organic solvents-acetone, isopropyl alcohol and ethanol. Due to the fact that this invention uses hierarchical structures of zinc oxide in combination with mathematical processing of signals from a line of sensors, it becomes possible to detect and distinguish low gas concentrations, which is impossible to do with other devices in this price category" – she explains.

Role of the scientific group of St. Petersburg State Technical University "LETI" under the leadership of Professor of the Department of Micro-and Nanoelectronics (MNE) Vyacheslav Moshnikov's role in developing a new method for manufacturing a gas-analytical multisensor chip was to prepare gas-sensitive layers for a multisensor device. They are based on hierarchical zinc structures, which have a larger area of the active surface of interaction with the gas of these structures. Due to it, the recorded resistance increases, which determines the presence of gases. This change makes it possible to determine the concentration of impurities in the air with greater accuracy. Scientists from SSTU, in turn, developed algorithms for processing signals from a line of sensors.

"These developments did not come out of nowhere. Prior to this, Svetlana Nalimova's PhD thesis presented theoretical and experimental studies of the possibilities of improving sensory properties by forming sensitive layers with a fractal-percolation structure. Further, in the dissertation work of Anton Bobkov, methods of nanolithography with atomic-molecular design are introduced at the patent level — " says Vyacheslav Moshnikov. — "As a result, the new architectonics of gas-sensitive layers represents a hierarchy in which nanocrystalline rods form nanochannels with fractal-percolation geometry from the constituent nanocrystals. The patent for this invention was recognized as one of the best in the Russian Federation for 2018. The prospects for a multi-sensor chip as a whole are quite obvious-improving the selectivity and sensitivity of gas sensors."

According to scientists, the development can find its place in environmental enterprises during environmental monitoring, in large-scale production when analyzing the state of indoor air, as well as in medical practice. In the future, it can be placed in a small portable device, which will make the equipment for monitoring air quality more mobile and less expensive.

This term is used by ignorant people.  Russia is the 5th economy in the world with a modern economy that is one of the most self-sufficient.  Just look at the import.  Of course, it is also an energy superpower.  Huge oil and gas deposits and infrastructure for their transmission.  The best nuclear technologies, etc.

Russia is a gas station -energy economy , why you have doubt about it ?

even the economic minister told it , that russia energy sales and services produce near 40%
of the Russian budget.

Russia economy is effectively a gas and energy station.. is an outdated economic model , that have not changed in decades . they do sell other things , food , mining and some weapons to india and others ,but the biggest industry in russia , that produce more for the russian budget by far are their energy and gas bussiness.

russia have the same economic model of AFrica , the most basic form of business .

is not an advanced business economy like US , taiwan or south korea ,that sells things , that nations all need for its own development and have no alternative to it.

look how embarrasing is putin position ,that in the middle of sanctions , need to buy high tech to americans, still today ,  in order to build super computers.. if it wasn't by the anglo western economies ,.. and the asian high tech giants ,  russia will not have any technology at all , since even all their computers manufactured by taiwan ,use american and british tech .. no computers or internet t today , will not have smartphones , neither any advance computers ,. this is the russia vission of putin , a nation that 100% depends on their their adversaries technology ,for modernization of their business.  

and someone suggested Russia should sell electricity to japan and china..
he is forgetting that japan is allied to US and if americans say no to japan ,they will obey and will not do any business with Russia. and china is pushing hard to become energy independent too ,and not depend neither in US ,neither on Russia.. so all this "super energy power" claims ,will be good for nothing. Russia will have a ton of energy ,and electricity , but will have no nation to sell it , since europe and china and moving away of their energy dependence and produce alternative sources of energy .

Literally at least 50% of the words in every single sentence Vann posted is wrong and can be refuted with a single google search (even with the western sources), but I guess it's too hard for him anyway.

Dude's stupidity is so great he might even get elected if he's in Poorkraine


P/s Judging by his syntax, is he from Vietnam lol
