The National University of Science and Technology MISiS is opening its laboratories to RIA readers. This slide show, ‘Behind the scenes of Russian science: How innovations are born,’ shows how researchers create new tailored materials and devise state-of-the-art technology for the world's industrial, electronics and pharmaceutical markets.
The photo gallery was prepared with support from NUST MISiS.
A spacecraft seat design developed at the NUST MISiS Center for Complex Industrial Prototypes. The Center is capable of preparing extremely intricate prototypes, from nanites to satellites and bio-organisms ranging in size from a micron to 20 meters.
An engine turbine equipped with innovative vanes made from an intermetallic titanium alloy. This solution improves engine performance, reduces the weight of airplanes and makes them more fuel efficient. These blades are expected to be used in the PD-14, a new Russian-made engine for the MC-21 short-medium haul aircraft that is currently being developed in Russia.
Next generation protective suit for EMERCOM officers. The suit withstands fire (temperatures up to 1,200 degrees Celsius), does not freeze in cold temperatures (down to -120 degrees Celsius) and protects wearers from electromagnetic radiation. In addition, it uses high-strength materials (it is very hard to tear the suit), and creates a favorable magnetic field that invigorates the person wearing it.
Self-propagating high-temperature synthesis in ferrous oxide powder. This provides a low-cost and effective method for obtaining a wide range of nanomaterials for research and industrial purposes.
Creating the first Russian perovskite-structured thin-film solar cell. This cell will transform solar radiation into electric power with an efficiency rate above 15 percent. Perovskite-structured solar cells are more lightweight, flexible and cheaper to make than their contemporaries. They can be used to charge and power various devices, from tablets to entire buildings.
Freight car truck side frame, with quenched cast steel elements that increase the fatigue limit and fatigue strength of the side frames by 50 percent. Such frames can work for decades longer than their competitors, which increases the safety of the railways.
An experimental chip of a Josephson parametric amplifier. Amplifiers of this kind can be used to obtain reliable and prompt data from superconducting qubits. This capability is a fundamental objective for improving quantum computing.
A thermostatic cooler that can cool qubits down to -273.1 degrees Celsius. Cooler qubits provide for lower heat noise and a better ability to observe quantum phenomena.
A smelting induction furnace and a pyrometer for remote temperature measurement. These devices are used to obtain experimental samples of amorphous and nano-crystalline alloys with highly magnetic properties. The possible applications of these alloys include transformer cores.
Patented high-performance technology for obtaining high-purity aluminum oxide can be used to provide raw material to producers of single-crystal corundum, the main element used in LEDs and protective glass in modern devices.
