Contact Us Russian Science, Research and Development Opportunities General overview Nevertheless Russia still enjoys one of the most ramified innovation infrastructures in Europe. There are nearly 60 science and technology parks, over 40 thousand small and medium innovation companies, employing more than 200 thousand people. The process of building regional innovation centers network is also under way, there are almost 30 of such centers nowadays. According to international expertise, 17 of 100 fields of science research in Russia excel best international standards. Another 22 fields of research in Russia could be highly competitive on the world market in the next 2-3 years provided they receive sufficient financing. Russian Research and Development Complex Total Research institutes Design organizations Construction project and exploration organizations Experimental enterprises Higher education institutions Industrial enterprises Others Another phenomenon in Russia (and to a lesser extent in Belarus and Ukraine) which distinguishes it from most other transition countries, especially those in central and eastern Europe, is the continued existence of a large number of independent scientific research institutes (nauchno-issledovatelskie instituty, NII), one of the curious institutional overhangs from the former Soviet system of state-sponsored research. Most of these institutes functioned autonomously, i.e. outside the University or Academy system, and often, but not exclusively, engaged in military research.

Extractions: June 4, 2002 Russian sckentists at the Center of Bioengineering have adapted technology developed by St. Louis, Missouri-based Monsanto, one of the world's biggest biotechnology companies, to three varieties of potatoes commonly grown in Russia, said Konstantin Skryabin, the center's director. Genetically engineered crops are modified to make them toxic to a specific insect or to be resistant to a popular weed-killer in order to make them cheaper to grow. The technology is widely used in the United States, but European countries have been reluctant to embrace it because of fears of unknown health and environmental consequences. Russia has seen almost no public debate on the issue, since the country has had no experience with genetically modified crops, according to Skryabin. If approved for sale, the modified potatoes would change that. Speaking at a joint news conference with Monsanto representatives and U.S. and Russian officials, Skryabin said such approval requires extensive testing and is at least three years away. Holding up three plastic bags containing perfectly round, acorn-sized seed potatoes, Skryabin said the genetically modified versions of Russia's Lugovsky, Nevsky and Yelizaveta varieties would be a boon to Russian farmers, whose approximately 3.3 million hectares (8 million acres) of potato fields yield far less than they could.

Fundamental scientific research is concentrated in Russian Academy of Sciences, which now includes hundreds of institutes specializing in all major scientific disciplines such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, Earth sciences etc. The applied science and technology is mainly done in Institutions and Design Bureaus belonging to different Russian Ministers. There are involved in research and development in nuclear energy (Minatom), space exploration (Russian Space Agency), defense (Ministry of defense), telecommunications (Ministry of communications) and so on.

Extractions: and view of plasmas within torus during operation. Magnetic confinement fusion devices are designed to confine hot, dense plasma for a sufficient period of time (a few seconds) for nuclei to fuse by overcoming their natural repulsive forces. An operating fusion energy reactor must attain sufficiently high energy density for the fusion to become self-sustaining (ignition) and generate economically significant energy gains. Due to the coupling of ionized particles and fields, any plasma system exhibits coherence and must be treated as an interactive system and not simply as an aggregate of parts. In plasma systems, a wide variety of forces and instabilities can oppose efforts at confinement. Nevertheless, basic research has enabled experiments that are 1,000,000 times better in overall performance than devices used only 20 years ago. Fusion is routinely produced in current experiments and we are now on the threshold of "burning plasma" experiments that will allow the construction of useful fusion powers plants.

CNN - Cold War Experience: Technology Alexei Kojevnikov, a senior research associate at the Institute for History of science and technology at the russian Academy of sciences in Moscow, says http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/cold.war/experience/technology/then.now/
Extractions: Special to CNN Interactive The Soviet Union's science community was once a mighty engine of technological prowess. But the Cold War is over and the U.S.S.R. has been dismantled. Where are the scientists? No hard numbers exist on the extent of Russia's brain drain. But those studying the issue say that perhaps only 10 percent of scientists in the former Soviet Union are still at work on research there. Alexei Kojevnikov, a senior research associate at the Institute for History of Science and Technology at the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow, says Russian science is now "idling," largely due to lack of funding. Glenn Schweitzer, director of the office of Eastern Europe and Eurasia at the U.S. National Research Council, says many Russian lab scientists are doing anything but science now. From research to business "They're still in Russia because they basically have nowhere else to go, but these are very smart people," he says. By turning in their lab coats for business suits, "they have sort of risen to the top among the survivors in Russia."

Extractions: US and Russian Scientists Develop Process for Making Pure Titanium Medical Implants For Business Opportunities relating to Healthcare please click here Researchers at the Department of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory and Ufa State Aviation Technical University in Russia have developed a process for making strong, lightweight and corrosion-resistant medical implant material from pure titanium. Typically, titanium alloys have been the materials of choice for medical implants. In particular, a titanium alloy called Ti-6Al-4V is used for most orthopedic implants. The Ti-6Al-4V alloy is generally considered chemically inert, compatible with human tissue and resistant to corrosion by human body fluids. However, the small percentages of vanadium and aluminum metals contained in the alloy are potentially toxic. Normal wear can lead to deterioration of the implant and the release of alloy elements into the body. Pure titanium is chemically and biologically more compatible with human fluids and tissue. But it is too weak for prostheses that must bear heavy loads, such as leg or hipbone implants. The strength of pure titanium is less than half the strength of Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Using a two-step process combining ECAP and cold rolling or cold extrusion, researchers increased the strength of pure titanium to levels even higher than that of Ti-6Al-4V alloy.
