The crew of the International space station finishes preparations for “Vsplesk” (“Burst”) experiment, results of which are expected to help in developing methods for real-time forecasting of earthquakes.

Russian researchers created a unique charger for mobile phones and laptops. The world is flooded with various power sources, and no one even thought about changing anything. That is why the idea of Russian scientists was so astonishing for many experts and professionals in power engineering.

Soil sounding, which is a common operation for geologists, reveals not only rocks and relic forms of relief, but also archeological artifacts.

How did hair and feathers appear? Many scientists desperately seek answer to this question, and Russian biologists from Severtsov Institute of Ecology and Evolution seem to find it.

Russia has a perfect chance to become a leading scientific power with highly developed nanotechnologies. All we need is making Russian science and education interdisciplinary.

Russian scientists develop an effective technique for making nanoporous carbon materials with predetermined properties and shape. Such materials have a variety of applications: from sorbent for water purification to supercondenser elements and catalyst carriers.

Russian physicists developed a laser unit, which entered top 5 most powerful lasers of the world.

Siberian scientists know how to protect eyes from chemical burns – they developed “contact lenses”, which turn dangerous liquids (like acids and alkalies) into safe ones (like water) – seems that magic is involved.

Russian scientists, currently employed in Harvard University and Josephine Bay Paul Centre in comparative molecular biology and evolution, made a fantastic discovery.

Scientific equipment of the “Mars-Express” orbiter allowed detailed studies of water cycle on the Red planet.

Russian scientists discussed new generation of pharmaceuticals for therapy of hematological oncological diseases, and these drugs showed results so good no one has ever dreamt about.

Scientists from Russian state science and research institute of biological instrumentation developed a device, which measures real-time concentration of biological aerosols in air. This device promises to be helpful in case of huge technogenic accidents or (God forfend!) terrorist attacks.

Federal Service on intellectual property, patents and trademarks (RosPatent) awarded top 100 Russian Inventions. The ceremony was timed to the International day of intellectual property.

Russian engineers, dealing with generation and processing of three-dimension images, developed a device, which is aimed at raising computer’s protection level from any kind of unauthorized access.

Russian scientists developed and patented a very effective and convenient filter. This filter purifies various types of petroleum products, solvents and oils from dirt particles and water drops.

Nanotechnologies make humans beings contact with nanoparticles. But are they safe for human health? This is what Russian pharmacologists think.

Russian nuclear physicists confirmed some aspects of current hypothesis of origin and structure of the Universe.

Joint project of Russia and Kazakhstan on development of ecologically friendly rocket and space complex “Bayterek” (which means “tree of life”) entered its final stage.

Russian Academy of Sciences officially claims main reasons of global warming are totally different from that announced by UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Scientists from Moscow State University suggest a revolutionary approach to studying interactions of protein molecules between themselves and various surfaces. This technique is based on so-called “atomic weights”, which is a unique measuring instrument
