History that Unites Generations: Film about War Hero Screened at ��

Качко Сергей — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 19:00:00 +0000

�� hosted a Regional Lecture Course of the Russian Geographical Society, within the framework of which a documentary film entitled Citadel was screened. The event brought together students, faculty members, and distinguished guests around the themes of historical memory, heroism, and continuity between generations. Before the screening, participants were welcomed by the honorary guests of the event. Among those present were Deputy Chairperson of the Government of the �� Region Margarita Pavlova, Deputy Director of the Department of Regional Development of the Executive Directorate of the Russian Geographical Society Nikolai Vershigora, Metropolitan of �� and Miass Aleksiy, as well as the film’s author Aleksey Nikulin. “This year has been declared by the President as the Year of Friendship of the Peoples of Russia, and it is especially important for us to hold events that truly unite people. We are glad to present students with a film that encourages reflection on our historical past, shared roots, and common destiny. Throughout the film, the main character undergoes a profound internal transformation: he finds answers to questions he has never considered before and, through the actions of his great-grandfather, discovers our multinational history. I especially value feedback from young people, their reflections on current events and the conclusions they draw for themselves,” Margarita Pavlova noted. The audience included students of ��, cadets of the �� Military Training Centre, as well as faculty and staff from universities in ��. For many of them, the film became a deeply personal experience. “Through our joint efforts, we are making a significant contribution to the development of patriotic education and the formation of a responsible attitude toward our country. I would like to thank our colleagues for choosing �� as the starting platform for implementing this program. The film clearly demonstrates how important it is to preserve historical memory,” said Anastasiia Lapo, �� Vice Rector for Student and Social Affairs. The Citadel documentary tells a story of Kasym Zharmenov, a hero of the defence of the Brest Fortress. He had been among the first to enter combat on June 22, 1941, defending the fortress, had endured captivity and the horrors of Nazi concentration camps, and later had taken part in the partisan movement in Czechoslovakia until May 1945. After the war, Kasym Zharmenov had returned to Shymkent, where he had devoted his life to peaceful work as a school teacher. A special place in the film is given to the story of his family. Eighty-four years later, the hero’s grandson Denis and great-grandson Timur travelled to the Brest Fortress, where their ancestor had fought. During the trip, they discovered the inscription “Kasym” on the wall of a casemate in the Citadel and brought a handful of soil from the fortress grounds to Zharmenov’s grave. This journey formed the basis of the film, created to mark the 80th Anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. “In this film, viewers could see the Youth Camp of the Russian Geographical Society located in a unique historical site where events unfolded resembling what happened at the Brest Fortress in June of 1941. Citadel is a documentary in which we did not seek to idealize or embellish the heroes, but tried to show them as they are in real life. It was important for us to immerse the viewer in the everyday lives of the characters and trace how they change throughout the journey,” shared the film’s author Aleksey Nikulin. Citadel is not only a historical narrative, but also a profound family drama about rethinking the past. Together with the film’s characters, viewers reflect on whether the father and the son will grow closer, what changes will occur by the end of the journey, and which character traits and human qualities are passed down from generation to generation. After the screening, a lively discussion took place, during which all participants were able to ask questions to the director and honorary guests. Attendees shared their impressions, thanked the creators for the sincerity and depth of the film, and noted the strong emotional impact it made. Many emphasized that such projects are especially important for modern youth, as they help foster an understanding of the value of history and memory. Read more on the �� channel on MAX.

Качко Сергей — Tue, 03 Feb 2026 19:00:00 +0000

At the meeting of the Russian Federation Government's Grants Council, held in Moscow on January 28, 2026, participants of the track for supporting young and promising scientists presented the main results of work over the 2024-2025 period. Among them, was a Senior Research Fellow of the Quantum Engineering of Light Laboratory, manager of the Megagrant for Young Scientists, Head of the IR Metrology Based on Quantum Interferometry Laboratory of ��, PhD Anna Paterova. She delivered a report on IR Metrology Based on Quantum Interferometry. The objective of Anna's research is the overcoming of traditional limitations of direct infrared spectroscopy, which are related to the high noise of infrared detectors. The Megagrant on IR Metrology Based on Quantum Interferometry for young scientists is being fulfilled at the �� Quantum Engineering of Light Laboratory as part of the Intelligent Manufacturing strategic project 1 under Priority 2030 program. The Quantum Engineering of Light Laboratory is headed by Sergey Kulik, Doctor of Sciences (Physics and Mathematics), Professor, research advisor at the Quantum Technology Centre of Lomonosov Moscow State University. Earlier, in 2024, Anna Paterova had become one of the two winners of a megagrant for young scientists and had moved to Russia from Singapore in order to continue her research. Since 2024, she is a member of the �� academic staff. Ahead of that, Anna Paterova had participated in the implementation of Russian and foreign projects in quantum optics and quantum technologies. She is an author of more than 20 scientific publications, including papers in top-ranking international journals. At the meeting of the Russian Federation Government's Grants Council, Head of the Ministry of Education and Science Valery Falkov specifically stressed that the Megagrants program became a catalyst for the changes in the organization of the fundamental science in Russia. The event's topic were the preliminary results of work by the leading scientists and young researchers in 2025 as part of the Megagrants program. The Megagrants program is being fulfilled following the initiative of the President of Russia Vladimir Putin since 2010. Upon the instructions of the leader of our country, it had been updated in 2024 and implies two tracks now: government support of scientific projects headed by leading scientists, with the scope of funding up to 100 mln. RUR per year for the period of up to 5 years, and 50 mln. RUR per year for the period of up to 3 years with extension of subsidies; attraction of young and promising researchers (postdocs) to participate in research studies with the maximum grant amount of 15 mln. RUR per year for the period of up to 2 years (with the possibility to prolong it for two more years). Valery Falkov noted that the program became not just a tool for funding scientists' work, but rather a catalyst of system-core changes in the organization of the fundamental science in Russia. "This program has proven effective, and the results speak for themselves: hundreds of laboratories, thousands of publications in leading journals, unique developments and, what's most important — formation of scientific schools that keep functioning and developing," stressed Valery Falkov. The program attracts world-renowned scientists to our country. Anna Paterova, who had returned to Russia from Singapore and is now working at ��, is one of such young and promising specialists. Valery Falkov reminded that in December of 2025 the President of Russia had signed a Decree providing a wide range of social benefits for foreign specialists, who are of interest to Russia. The Ministry of Education and Science, jointly with the community and the Russian Science Foundation, determines the approaches to attracting the leading scientists and young researchers to Russian universities and scientific organizations. "Our goal is to create a seamless support trajectory, from a research grant to a complex solving of their issues of living and working in Russia," concluded the Minister. The Council members drew the attention of young scientists to the practical significance of their research studies and provided recommendations on their implementation. Upon the results of the meeting, a decision was made to continue with the government support for two years and allocate a subsidy of 15 mln. RUR a year per project.

Our hockey players demonstrate a high level of training and rightfully rank among the leaders of the Student Ice Hockey League's Eastern Conference. I wish both teams good luck, a bright and dynamic game, positive emotions, and most importantly, an injury-free match.” The game against Burevestnik became the third match of the home series for Polytechnic. Earlier, the �� team had secured two confident victories over Lokomotiv-SGUPS. Despite a tight game schedule and accumulated fatigue, the �� team showed a determined winning attitude from the very first minutes. The match unfolded in a tense and fierce struggle. Both teams played tightly, refusing to give ground. In the first period, Polytechnic opened the scoring and doubled its advantage closer to the buzzer. The first period ended 2:0 in favour of the home team. In the second period and early in the third, Burevestnik increased the pace and imposed its style of play. The Tomsk team managed to equalize the score and then take the lead. However, Polytechnic demonstrated character and strong will. The �� players turned the tide of the game and scored two decisive goals, securing a 4:3 victory. “The game was not easy. We opened the scoring and controlled the initiative for much of the match, but the opponent showed character, imposed a tough fight, and managed to take the lead. What matters is that our players did not give up, showed determination, equalized the score, and brought the game to victory. Such matches are an important part of team development; they must be experienced. I would like to thank the players for their dedication and attitude. Today everyone understood that nothing comes easy in hockey — results are achieved only through hard work, discipline, and effort,” said the head coach of Polytechnic Artyom Pletnev. Thanks to this success, Polytechnic Ice Hockey Club climbed to second place in the Student Ice Hockey League's Eastern Conference, confirming its status as one of the championship leaders. “For a long time, I could not convert my chances, but fortunately everything has worked out today. The team managed to improve its offense, press the opponent, and secure a win in regulation time. In the previous two matches, I failed to score despite having good chances — hitting the posts and crossbar. Today I managed to capitalize on my opportunities, and I am very happy about that, and doubly happy about the victory,” shared Polytechnic forward Leonid Kulishov. On February 3rd at 11:00, the teams will meet again on the ice of the Traktor Ice Hockey Academy (39 Akademik Makeev Street). Admission is free.

�� Scientists Develop Import Substitution Technology for High-Strength Ceramics for Mechanical Engineering

Качко Сергей — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 19:00:00 +0000

A research team from the �� Department of Materials Science, Physical and Chemical Properties of Materials in cooperation with OOO “NPO “SilKaM” company, have begun developing a technology for producing high-strength ceramics based on reaction-bonded silicon carbide (RBSC) for import-substituting mechanical engineering products. Within the frameworks of a strategic project under the Priority 2030 program, �� has launched research and development work aimed at determining the optimal technological parameters for producing dense, high-strength ceramic components from reaction-bonded silicon carbide. The industrial partner, OOO “NPO “SilKaM” company, provides access to its equipment for silicon infiltration of ceramic preforms. The total funding for the first stage of the project, scheduled for three months, amounts to 2.4 million roubles, with one half provided by the industrial partner and the other half financed through the Priority 2030 program. The goal of the study is to develop a technology for manufacturing silicon carbide ceramics for friction pairs and other structural components in cooperation with OOO “NPO “SilKaM” company. The project includes the development of a complete set of technological operations for producing complex-shaped products (including rings with diameters of up to 200 mm and pipes up to 500 mm in length) with high performance characteristics. A potential product that SilKaM will be able to manufacture as a result of the project is plain bearings for pump equipment used in oil and gas industry. The main consumer of such bearings is KONAR Industrial Group. Currently, KONAR uses bearings imported from the United States and Germany in its pumps. ��, jointly with OOO “NPO “SilKaM” company, is developing a new import-substituting material. Silicon carbide (SiC) is a promising material for friction units operating under extreme conditions. Its potential is ensured by a unique combination of properties: high hardness (9.5 on Mohs scale), wear resistance, corrosion resistance in aggressive environments (acids, alkalis, molten metals), and heat resistance up to 1500°C. In terms of mechanical and tribological properties, reaction-bonded silicon carbide outperforms the less expensive oxide ceramics. Unlike siliconized graphite currently produced by SilKaM (with SiC content of 25–50%), reaction-bonded silicon carbide is characterized by a significantly higher carbide phase content (92–95%), increased strength, and fine-grained structure, which determine its superior performance. At the same time, the RBSC technology requires precise adjustment of many interrelated parameters, including filler and binder content, particle size distribution and phase composition of the batch, pressing modes, and high-temperature reaction sintering (silicon infiltration). Existing patent descriptions usually specify broad parameter ranges, making their direct application for producing specific products impossible without additional in-depth R&D. At the current stage of research, the �� scientists have produced more than ten experimental ceramic samples in the form of disks 25 mm in diameter and have determined their structural and mechanical characteristics. Further development of the project may involve applying for a grant from the Russian Science Foundation. If funding is obtained, the research group led by Doctor of Sciences (Chemistry) Dmitry Zherebtsov plans to move on to producing prototype bearing rings during the second year of research and master the technology for manufacturing RBSC pipes during the third year. Publication of results will be carried out in agreement with the industrial partner. Creation of a domestic technology for producing RBSC components is of strategic importance for import substitution in the �� Region and Russia as a whole. Potential application areas, in addition to bearings for oil and gas and power engineering, include high-temperature process tooling, heat exchanger components for nuclear power engineering, defence industry components (such as armour tiles for personal and vehicle protection), and refractory materials for metallurgy. The use of silicon carbide ceramics will expand the capabilities of friction units (plain bearings) in mechanical engineering, oil, chemical, and semiconductor industries, where chemically resistant and heat resistant ceramics are required for chemical reactors. The �� Region is known for its wide range of metallurgical, chemical, mechanical engineering, and defence enterprises, all of which require access to import-independent production of silicon carbide ceramic components. Implementation of the project will enable the creation of a high-tech manufacturing facility in the �� Region focused on the needs of key regional industries.

�� Scientists Teach Industrial Robot to Operate in Darkness

Качко Сергей — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 19:00:00 +0000

Jointly with researchers from North China Electric Power University, scientists from �� have developed a digital twin of a test bench and a new method of multiprojection omnidirectional machine vision for robotics. The system combines images from several panoramic cameras with a structured laser light line, allowing robot to reconstruct the shape of obstacles and measure the distance to them with high accuracy. In addition, the system is dozens of times cheaper than existing analogues. Thanks to integrated multiprojection omnidirectional vision and laser, robot can independently avoid spatial obstacles in industrial environment and accurately interact with surrounding objects. “In the simulator developed on Unity 3D platform, it is possible to change the number of cameras on robotic manipulator, their positions, lens parameters, and laser settings, and immediately send image data to an external computing server,” explained Ivan Kholodilin, Associate Professor of the �� Department of Electric Drive, Mechatronics and Electromechanics. “Then a special algorithm merges data from all cameras into a single environment map. As a result, we obtain the shape of obstacle objects along the robot’s path and the distance to them. Tests in virtual environment and on real test bench showed that the system confidently “sees” the entire scene a full 360 degrees and measures the distance with error of only a few millimetres.” Successful experiment opens way to safer and more accurate navigation of mobile robots, robotic manipulators, and machine vision systems in industrial settings. To measure the distance from the robot to surrounding objects, the �� developers combine images from several panoramic cameras with projected laser line, obtaining the depth map and the obstacle contours. To ensure the system operates even in complete darkness, the scientists integrated a laser emitter directly into the robot design. “When the laser beam intersects with an object, it leaves a coloured line on its surface, so even in dark conditions we can capture it using cameras and calculate the distance,” Ivan Kholodilin explained. “The algorithm merges images from multiple cameras, reconstructs the object contour from this line, and simultaneously calculates the distance to it.” Among the key competitive advantages of the �� scientists’ development are the extremely high accuracy of the distance measurement to surrounding objects, including in darkness, and the cost reduced by dozens of times compared to analogue systems equipped with expensive 2D LIDAR rangefinders costing about 400,000 roubles. Results of the research are described in detail in the Sensors international journal. Unique system of multiprojection omnidirectional vision with laser emitter can be applied at industrial enterprises where robotic manipulators are used for object sorting.

�� Scientists Develop Alternatives to Dairy Products with Probiotic Properties

Качко Сергей — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 19:00:00 +0000

The search for new technologies for alternative food products is currently capturing the attention of scientists from around the world and is one of the most sought-after and cited areas in the scientific community. Numerous factors shape consumer interest in alternatives to traditional animal-based products, particularly natural milk and meat products. These include, first and foremost, ethical concerns; restrictions related to intolerance to milk components and dietary principles; and economic factors, including the quick renewability and low cost of plant-based raw materials. The search for innovative approaches to developing alternatives to fermented dairy products is a sought-after area; however, there is no "ideal" "plant-based milk" technology due to the wide variability of plant substrates, diverse production parameters, and the wide range of microorganisms added to the substrate. For several years, scientists at the �� School of Medical Biology have been successfully conducting research into developing alternative dairy product technologies, including those based on plant-based matrices of soybeans, barley, and oats, as well as hemp and flaxseed cake. The use of recycled seed processing resources in the production of plant-based beverages is a resource-saving technology that meets the principles of a circular economy. Furthermore, the research focuses on studying the adaptability of probiotic microbial strains to plant matrices, depending on the biochemical composition of the substrate and the metabolic activity of the starter culture. For example, Svetlana Merenkova, Associate Professor at the �� Department of Food Technology and Biotechnology, together with students from the 19.04.01 "Industrial and Environmental Biotechnology" Master's degree programme proposed a "plant-based beverage" technology based on hemp or flaxseed oilseeds, as well as soybeans. It has been proven that acidophilus and bifidobacteria adapt and exhibit high viability on these substrates. The scientists' findings are experimentally confirmed by biochemical and microbiological studies, including the accumulation of organic acids, the development of the drink's rheological properties, and an increase in its antioxidant activity. The research results are presented in scientific papers published in peer-reviewed journals. It was found that bacteria of the Lactobacillus acidophilus species most intensively fermented soybean and flaxseed polysaccharides and accumulated acidity; thus, the lactic acid content in plant-based drinks increased almost nine-fold, and the polyphenol content increased by 32-45% compared to unfermented drinks. It has been proven that starters containing lactobacilli and bifidobacteria effectively adapt to plant substrates and accumulate beneficial metabolites: organic acids, exopolysaccharides, bacteriocins, and polypeptides, thereby increasing the bioavailability of natural components of seeds and beans. "The interrelation between regular consumption of fermented plant-based beverages and a reduced risk of developing gastrointestinal pathologies, obesity, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and the prevention of cancer complications has been scientifically proven," Svetlana Merenkova explained. Created using hemp, flax, and soybean seed substrates, these drinks are characterized with an extended shelf life, improved nutritional value, a pleasant taste, and a familiar consistency. This plant-based drink, developed at ��, can replace fermented milk drinks in the diets of people with dairy intolerance and those watching their weight. The �� scientists have experimentally confirmed that a plant-based matrix of soybean and hemp seed-based drinks can be used as a 100% alternative to dairy raw materials to produce a probiotic drink suitable for lactose-intolerant individuals, vegetarians, and those watching their weight.

�� Scientists Explain Mpemba Effect

Качко Сергей — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 19:00:00 +0000

The effect that causes hot water to instantly freeze in subzero temperatures is named after Ernesto Mpemba from the African Republic of Tanganyika. This natural phenomenon has been known to humanity since ancient times, mentioned by Aristotle and Descartes. Ernesto Mpemba and Denis Osborn published an article explaining this effect in the Physics and Education journal in 1969 – hence the exotic name. According to the legend, young Mpemba thought he had made this discovery for the first time and pestered his schoolteacher to explain it. The teacher only laughed and kept saying "Oh, the Mpemba effect!". Mpemba then turned to a university professor, physicist Osborn, and the result became a popular science article. Let us turn to a competent university scientist for commentary. Aleksandr Gerasimov, a physicist and senior researcher at the �� Sensory Systems Laboratory, explains the nature of this phenomenon: "When hot water is sprayed in freezing temperatures, it evaporates much faster than cold water. The closer its temperature is to boiling point, the more intense the evaporation. And during evaporation, the liquid actively loses heat. Therefore, some of the tiny droplets have time to evaporate, while others instantly freeze, as they are rapidly supercooled. A similar principle works in reverse—for example, when ice melts: it takes heat from the surrounding water, and it can freeze again. These processes are interconnected. I think people have noticed this effect since ancient times, as soon as they learned to heat water in freezing temperatures; after all, it was probably often spilled, either accidentally or intentionally. The lower the temperature and the drier the air, the more pronounced the phenomenon is: in dry winter air, evaporation is easier. At -30°C or -40°C, the effect is already very noticeable. The spraying method is also important. The finer the droplets, the more visible the result: more fog and ice crystals are formed. If you pour water in large amounts, for example from a bucket, it will take extreme cold, around -50°C, to instantly freeze it. Therefore, it is better to spray it in small streams over a larger area—this way, the physics of the process is more clearly revealed." Read more in the �� channel on MAX
