This for second stage.
Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Chernyshenko held a meeting on the creation of the Center for Collective Use "Siberian Ring Photon Source" (CCU "SKIF") near Novosibirsk, and also assessed the progress of construction of buildings, creation and installation of scientific equipment.
The SKIF Center for Collective Use is a megascience-class scientific infrastructure facility with a 4+ generation synchrotron, which is being built in the Novosibirsk science city of Koltsovo. SKIF is a complex of 34 buildings and structures, as well as engineering and technological equipment, ensuring the implementation of scientific research on synchrotron radiation beams. The creation of SKIF in the Novosibirsk Region is being carried out with the active support of the regional government.
Novosibirsk University Presents Second Stage Station Project for SKIF CCU
Novosibirsk State Technical University NETI presented the project of the station "Engineering Materials Science" at "Technoprom-2025", which will be included in the second stage of the center of collective use "SKIF". For the first time in the world, they plan to use a unique optical scheme with lenses reminiscent of the jaws of a crocodile.
this NICA that started in 2024. LHC competitive with CERN.Kovalchuk said that the successes of scientists who returned to Russia from CERN strengthen the country's position
MOSCOW, May 30. /TASS/. Russian scientists who have ceased cooperation with the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and returned to Russia receive scientific results that compete with the conclusions of the CERN teams. This was stated by the president of the National Research Center "Kurchatov Institute" Mikhail Kovalchuk.
A significant part of the CERN experiments was once carried out by Russian specialists, he noted.
"Our scientists are back < ... > back, enriched with common experience and best practices. <… >We are now getting results that already compete with CERN," Kovalchuk said, speaking at the scientific forum "Academic Partnership for Peace, Mutual Development and Prosperity", held in Moscow as part of a two-day meeting of the heads of the BRICS academies of sciences.
The scientist also pointed out that Russia has financed international European scientific projects, of which it is a participant, in the amount of more than € 2 billion. TASS). Despite the sanctions, everything else, in fact, the only real money that is there is Russian," he added.
Hadron Collider in Russia: Why NICA, Where is it and What is it for?
What else can the Russian collider do?
In addition to fundamental research, various applied experiments are also carried out at the NICA hadron collider:
A comprehensive understanding of the properties and behavior of matter is critical to advancing our knowledge of the Universe, developing new technologies, and improving the health and well-being of humanity.
- Testing microcircuits for spacecraft. Ions present in cosmic rays can adversely affect spacecraft electronics. NICA is used to test microcircuits and assess their resistance to ion exposure.
- Study of radiation effects on living organisms. Research at the Russian NICA allows us to assess the effects of radiation on humans and biological objects, which is important for protecting astronauts and designing safe space flight systems.
- Research in other fields. When not colliding particles, the collider is planned to be used for research in nuclear energy, biology and materials science.
Mathematician returns from Germany to Russia: "There is a unique atmosphere here"
MOSCOW, July 9, FederalPress. Scientists who have been conducting scientific work abroad for a long time continue to return to Russia. One of them is Vladimir Spokoiny, who heads the Laboratory of Theoretical Foundations of Artificial Intelligence Models (TOMII) at the Institute of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Sciences of the Faculty of Computer Science. He left for Germany two years after the collapse of the USSR and returned in 2025.
According to him, the return had been planned for a long time, and when the scientist was offered to work at the HSE, he hardly hesitated.
The scientist said that he had been involved in various Russian projects since 2011. He emphasized that the research sector in our country is developing dynamically. Young specialists in science follow advanced trends. Spokoiny is confident that there is practically no lag behind global trends.“A unique atmosphere has been created here for the implementation of ambitious plans and the introduction of innovative solutions,” Spokoiny said.
“ Modern means of communication allow us to stay on top of the development of science ,” he in a conversation with the HSE.
The scientist has been involved in mathematics all his life, including the part of it that is related to AI. “ Artificial intelligence is a good assistant for scientists, but it is not the first and not the last technological breakthrough ,” said Vladimir Spokoiny.
He believes that despite the development of new technologies, the role of man will remain unchanged, since the program cannot replace intuition and creative thinking.
Earlier, FederalPress wrote about how Russian scientists hydrogen technology for industry.
The head of the Russian Academy of Sciences announced the return of many scientists to Russia
MOSCOW, May 13. /TASS/. Many well-known scientists have returned to Russia, the process of "brain drain" from the country has stopped, President of the Russian Academy of Sciences Gennady Krasnikov told TASS.
"Many of my friends, well-known scientists, have returned to Russia. There are many such examples. At our Institute of Molecular Electronics, several dozen people have returned from abroad.
Since Science is developing rapidly they want greater control.The return of minds. Artem Oganov: Now it has become interesting to work in Russia
Manycolleagues in Russia and abroad believe that crystallographer Artyom Oganov is the most likely candidate from our country to receive the Nobel Prize in the near future. Why did a brilliant materials scientist, who is in demand at many American and European universities, create a laboratory at MIPT? What is the difference between the generations of students of the 1990s and 2000s from today's students? And how can Russian science be made truly strong and competitive on the world stage?
Artem Oganov, Head of the Laboratory of Computer-Aided Design of Materials at MIPT, Professor at Skoltech.
Field of research: crystallography and materials science.
Where he returned from: State University of New York at Stony Brook.
Who works in my laboratory?
Now the situation is completely different. Three years ago, I created a laboratory at Phystech, and there are a huge number of talented people here. I looked for such people all over the world when I lived in the West. Here you can now find such people if they are offered normal working conditions. So it has become interesting to work in Russia now, and, from my point of view, this is the most important change in Russian science.
International scientific cooperation will require approval from the FSB
This mechanism will strengthen control over the transfer of scientific results abroad
