Siberian Federal University

A team from Siberian Federal University suggested a new method for automatic composition analysis of electrolyte samples from electrolysis baths. It will provide for more accurate technological control and increase the efficiency of aluminium production. The article of the scientists was published in the Crystals journal.

A team of Siberian scientists together with foreign colleagues calculated the parameters that influence the intensity of reaction between carbon nanotubes and phthalocyanines — complex nitrogen-containing compounds. Hybrid constructions based on them are considered as new materials for solar cell batteries, sensors, and optic devices. The work was published in the Applied Surface Science journal.

Siberian Federal University scientists have recently proposed using digital clones technology to perform online diagnostics of technical equipment and presented a new neurocomputing diagnostics model.

Konstantin Krutovsky, the Head of SibFU Laboratory of Forest Genomics has revealed molecular markers that allow of a reliable identification of date palm sex at seedling stage in a joint research with the scientists of National Research Centre, Cairo (Egypt) and University of Gottingen (Germany).

SibFU and KPMG invite high school students and graduate students to an open seminar on financial Economics. Tim Bayona (San Francisco, USA) will give a positive view of business opportunities in Siberia and the Krasnoyarsk city.

Scientists at Siberian Federal University have found a connection between stress and eyesight worsening. The study showed that participants of the experiment with the diagnosis of “professional burnout” had reduced contrast sensitivity. The portal Nauka-TASS first posted the information about the study.

A group of scientists from the Siberian Federal University (SibFU) and the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Biophysics Institute are currently working on making fungicides intended to be used for combating fusarium disease more efficient, said the SibFU press service representative in an interview with Sputnik.

Siberian Federal University became a co-organizer of a unique competition for foreign students Open Doors: Russian Scholarship Project. The winners will be able to enter the Master's program of leading universities of Russia for free.

Young scientists of the Siberian Federal University have proposed using layer-by-layer modified sorbents to determine environmental pollutants. The developed method will allow to improve the systems monitoring and analyzing the environmental situation (for instance in Krasnoyarsk krai) and increase the effectiveness of dealing with the causes of environmental disasters.

A team from the Institute of Fundamental Biology and Biotechnology of SFU used glycerol and sucrose to simulate the intracellular environment of luminescent bacteria and carried out a number of enzymatic reactions in it. The work will help develop fragments of metabolic chains with different lengths and study fermentative reactions in the conditions close to intracellular. The article of the scientists was published in the Molecular Catalysis journal.
