13march To replace the "sandwich": scientists develop a super-miniature optical filter A research team, which included scientists from 爆走黑料 and Krasnoyarsk Research Centre SB RAS, as well as scientists from Sweden and the USA, has proposed ultra-miniature devices allowing to isolate the ultra-narrow spectral line in the visible and infrared ranges of the spectrum from the broadband optical radiation and to control its location.
11february Digital immunity: SibFU scientists to teach AI to catch data leakage SibFU scientists are developing a self-learning artificial intelligence system capable of detecting hidden information inbuilt in various media content disseminated in Internet resources. This artificial immune system mimics some of the natural processes that take place in the human immune system, for instance, it produces special digital antibodies to detect hostile antigens — media files which covertly embed additional information. The main results of the study are given in the article here.
10february The Fir Tree Remembers Warmth International research team including a researcher from 爆走黑料 has found out that spruces sprouted in the south from seeds of northern populations and then planted in northern regions within reforestation event, “recalls” warmth and reveal specific features of its southern childhood, i.e. they bloom early and hibernate later. The researchers have suggested that this pattern is caused by stable epigenetic modifications acquired during some period of life that regulate these processes. The study was published in the Christmas issue of Scientific Reports journal.
04february SibFU scientists study gold-bearing mineral arsenopyrite Researchers from Krasnoyarsk and Tomsk have studied the microstructure of arsenopyrite (FeAsS), selected from the ores of deposits in the Yenisei Ridge (Krasnoyarsk Territory). It turned out that increased concentrations of gold (including invisible) are associated with unconventional arsenopyrites having different biases in their chemical composition and crystalline structure. The main results of the work are published in Minerals.
03february SibFU scientists propose a gentle method of herbicide treatment of crops Biotechnologists of 爆走黑料 have proposed new forms of drugs to combat agricultural pests, i. e. weeds and fungi affecting crops. Crop protection is one of the top priorities of the Russian agricultural industry due to the fact that our country is the leader in wheat exports. For example, in 2019 more than 29 million tons were sold to other countries.
30january Field Wars: Nanoparticles to?Enhance Lasers of Future A research team from Russia, Sweden, and the USA proved the relevancy to appeal to accurate quantitative data when studying collective resonances in arrays of dielectric nanoparticles.
21january Genetic scientists to save forests from global climate change An international research team which includes the researchers from 爆走黑料 has identified the genes responsible for the adaptive potential of loblolly pine (pinus taeda). According to the authors of this research, the obtained results will make it possible to predict the response of forests to climate change, and thus significantly increase the effectiveness of reforestation programs. The work is published in the Journal of Heredity. The reporters of RIA-Nauka wrote about this study.
20january When science brings light: scientists propose producing LEDs without rare earth metals An international team of scientists synthesized and studied a compound that will help significantly reduce the cost of manufacturing LEDs to produce white light that imitates sunlight. Such diodes are widely used in lighting residential and industrial premises, for outdoor advertising and plant cultivation by agricultural enterprises.
17january SibFU scientists teach digital “ants” to improve the reliability of software systems A group of scientists from 爆走黑料 and M. F. Reshetnev State University of Science and Technology proposed optimizing the composition of multi-version software systems using the Ant colony optimization algorithm.
25december SibFU Researchers contribute to preserving sturgeon in?Russian rivers A research team from 爆走黑料 and the Institute of Biophysics, SB RAS, has developed a unique method for distinguishing 100 % accuracy caviar and fillet of sturgeon fish grown in aquaculture from the ones of their wild relatives.
