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

Scientists from Russian city of Voronezh have developed so-called “electronic nose” – a device, which can distinguish natural ingredients (fruits and berries) from artificial flavours in dairy products by smell.

Russian scientists develop effective sorbing agents on the basis of fungal chitin.

Excited physicists are expecting first time travelers to appear on the Earth this year.

Oil tends to reappear in old oil pools and empty wells. Russian experts suggest an explanation for his interesting phenomenon.

Russian and Belarusian scientists have finished a programme, resulting in two transgenic goats, each cell of which carries lactoferrin-coding gene (lactoferrin is a human milk protein). Several years separate scientific think-tank from a horde of transgenic goats, which milk would be a base for biologically safe and highly effective pharmaceuticals of new generation.

Russian scientists suggest a unique technology for making high-quality synthetic opals. As 3D structures these opals can make our women ever more beautiful, and as films are perfect as base for photonic crystals. Synthetic opal matrixes have pre-determined nanostructure, being ideal materials for optoelectronics, magnetic recording systems and other fields of science and technology.

Many experts have no doubt bird flu pandemics definitely would happen in future. That is why additional research is necessary to understand mechanisms of bird viruses infecting human beings and risks of pandemics.

More and more “in vitro” children appear every year – in developed countries such children share about 1-3% of all newborns. Are assisted reproductive technologies (ART) safe?

Russian scientists are working on a small, though very effective, portable gas analyzer. This device works similarly to a well-trained dog’s nose, but with a very important distinction – in addition to detection of hazardous substances in the air, the device will determine their amount and chemical structure.

Scientists from Russia, the United State and Germany told the world in their paper in Nature that supernovas can explode several times.

People, who cannot stand whole milk, now have an effective solution for this common problem. A new pharmaceutical for animals and human beings is developed in Russian science and research centre “Drugs and Biotechnology”.
