The Umatex plant in Tatarstan now has a production line for PAN precursor. Polyacrylonitrile is used as the precursor for 90% of carbon fiber production.
Russia used to import it from China. Now it has the full carbon fiber production capability.
The foundation for the BREST-OD-300 lead cooled reactor has been poured. The plant construction is on schedule and the reactor should go online
in 2026.

New train wheels have been developed in Russia that allow for fully loaded freight to be moved at 160 km/hr.
These steel wheels won a gold medal at an international industrial exposition. Existing rail freight speeds in
Russia are 90 km/hr and that is not because of the rails.
A Russian prosthetic limb company has conducted development of neurological implants in cooperation with
a neurosurgery institute. The implants allow the prosthetic to send back pain, tactile and heat signals to the
brain and for the brain to fully manipulate the prosthetic. So we are seeing the evolution of bionics not just
outside of Russia.

A team of Russian researchers from the The National University of Science and Technology MISiS Catalyst laboratory in Moscow have announced the development of a new process that can print multiple metals on the same printer. According to the university press release, this new technology will open up a whole new smorgasbord of printable alloys, allowing a veritable “additive periodic table” of metallic elements to choose from.
This is pretty big news, as generally speaking, as metals from different groups have different printing requirements, and therefore the machine needs to be reconfigured significantly when switching between metals.
Using a metal printer from local Russian company Addsol, the researchers optimized the printer so that it is now capable of printing a vast range of metals both reactive and non-reactive, and even at the same time, allowing engineers to create a whole palette of alloys. This is enabled by the use of a range of catalysts and additives that have been developed by the researchers.

Flexing some 3d printing muscles and gearing up to put all the planned 3d printing labs to work!
Komarov listed some of its targets. “The development of additive technologies a focus of attention for state organisations, and state nuclear corporation Rosatom was entrusted to lead this area. According to our calculations, the implementation of the Roadmap will accelerate the growth of the additive technologies market in the country by 2.5 times, and by 2030 this market may reach RUB170 billion ($2.4bn). In total, it is planned to allocate more than RUB81 billion for the implementation of the Roadmap measures."
Natalya Nikipelova said that 180 centres for additive technologies will be created in Russia by 2030, ten of which a will be set up by Rosatom.

Russian scientists create a frost-resistant battery
Russian scientists have devised a way to make lithium-ion batteries, which are commonly used in various electric appliances and cars, frost-resistant.
Russia Today website quoted scientists from the Institute of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry as saying that they were able to create battery cells based on nanofibers of the element germanium, and thanks to the use of these fibers, the battery capacity increases and works effectively even at a temperature of minus 50 degrees Celsius.
According to the laws of physics, the efficiency of the electrodes decreases in cold weather, and the scientists came to the conclusion that the use of germanium nanofibers helps to retain the energy level even at low temperatures.
Others have developed discharge resistant batteries but this looks like a commercially viable approach.

South Korean telecom carrier KT looks to launch autonomous delivery vehicles in Korea before the end of 2022 by partnering with Russian autonomous rover maker Yandex Self-Driving Group, KT said Tuesday.
The two companies have signed a memorandum of understanding at a Yandex office in Moscow, and are at an early stage of cooperation to integrate KT‘s artificial intelligence and digital capability with Yandex’s self-driving technology.
Theres a lot of interesting cooperation with South Korea in military and civilian areas

Also, with the CO2... I would think using plants to absorb the carbon and release the oxygen makes more sense than stripping off an oxygen atom and creating carbon monoxide... CO2 is only dangerous to humans in high concentrations, whereas CO is toxic...

MOSCOW, February 21 - RIA Novosti, Kirill Karimov. From 2020, state support measures for the IT industry will apply to operating systems. However, work on them began much earlier. RIA Novosti presents a short guide to domestic operating systems.
"Aurora"
The most striking example of a Russian operating system, oddly enough, is not desktop, but mobile. Aurora was introduced in 2019, now hundreds of thousands of devices operate on it across the country.
In 2011, ex-Nokia employees created the open-source operating system Sailfish based on Linux. The project stalled due to financial problems and, most likely, would have replenished the cemetery of operating systems, but in 2016 Sailfish Mobile OS RUS appeared, which was taken up by the Open Mobile Platform company. Two years later, Rostelecom bought 75 percent of the project , and a year later the first version of Aurora was released.
The operating system is designed for smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices. It scales quite flexibly - the project has infokiosks on the Russian Baikal-M processor. Among the devices that Aurora works with are not the most famous gadgets: Qtech QMP-M1-N, QMP-M1-N IP68, F + R570, Aquarius NS 220. This is for the corporate and government segment, they will not enter the consumer market.
"Aurora" is seriously different from the usual Android and iOS . A fundamentally different user interface: on the home screen - not application shortcuts or widgets, but the covers of running software, that is, the task manager. Almost all control is based on touch gestures. There is no application store in the usual sense - each customer is provided with a specific set of software that can be expanded. No games or clients for popular social networks, and the Telegram and YouTube applications were created by the community.
The OS is well suited for devices with a weak filling: there are no friezes and freezes even on smartphones with one gigabyte of RAM. Developers consider this one of the main advantages, along with a secure infrastructure and a long life cycle. OMP is ready to support and update devices that were released a few years ago. But all this is not for the mass segment.
RED OS
The only domestic operating system, a license for which can be purchased at an electronics store. But in this case, it's more like an analogy with Windows . The fact is that RED OS is based on the open Linux kernel and is actually free for non-commercial use. And the money is for a distribution kit with documentation and technical support.
The OS provided by RED SOFT in 2017 was included in the Unified Register of Russian Programs and the FSTEC certification system. For five years, RED OS has experienced several major updates, the current version 7.3.1 supports not only the x86 architecture, but also ARM processors. Installed on almost any modern hardware. Among the officially supported configurations, for example, are 3Logic Group computers, the company that released the first laptop with a domestic motherboard.
The interface resembles Windows - this was done specifically to facilitate the user's transition to a new environment. The application software can run in local mode to ensure privacy. And the data is encrypted by domestic means of cryptography - it will not be possible to read it on another device.
RED OS is also used mainly in public institutions at workstations and server equipment.
"Alt" OS and other Linux-like
Most Russian operating systems are based on the Linux kernel. There was even competition. The most popular is OS "Alt" of the company "Basalt SPO". The project was launched in the late 1990s, when Linux-Mandrake Russian Edition appeared.
Modern versions of "Viola" OS work on different hardware: x86, ARM64 and domestic processors "Elbrus". The graphical interface is understandable after Windows, and a set of pre-installed programs in the "Workstation" allows you to immediately start viewing, for example, documents. A separate development branch is a server version with a web interface. Alta has the largest community among Russian operating systems and advanced support.
The development of JSC "NPO RusBITech" called Astra Linux is designed to work with information of different levels of secrecy, up to "special importance". The means of protection of this OS have been certified by the Ministry of Defense, FSTEC and FSB.
Astra Linux is a fork of the Debian Linux distribution. There is also a civilian Astra Linux Common Edition for government agencies. The free repository (repository) of the corresponding software contains thousands of programs. Interestingly, Astra is adapted for touch screens, and can also be ported to mobile devices - competitors do not have this.
Another OS certified by the Ministry of Defense is Rosa Linux. Development and support is carried out by "NTC IT ROSA". This shell is also released in two versions, one of them is for working with secret documents. The interface is simple, without clutter of visual effects.
Among the Linux-shaped ones, the product of DZ Systems, the Phantom OS, which has been created since 2010, stands apart. The basis was a microkernel environment, fundamentally different from Unix systems. "Phantom" resembles a virtual machine that saves state in permanent memory - that is, after a computer crash or shutdown, you can return to the last operation in just one click. There are a lot of plans here: from supporting popular hardware platforms to porting code to open Genode microkernels. But when the OS sees the light is not entirely clear - a working prototype is expected in 2022.
