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.

International research team including a researcher from Siberian Federal University 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.

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.

Biotechnologists of Siberian Federal University 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.

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.

An international research team which includes the researchers from Siberian Federal University 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.

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.

A group of scientists from Siberian Federal University 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.

A research team from Siberian Federal University 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.

A research team of experts from China, Russia, the United States, and Taiwan created a luminophore based on europium oxide, excited by blue light and emitting red light. These luminophores are supposed to help to improve and cut the cost of the technology for WLED production — white LEDs which emit in daylight spectrum that is optimal for the human eye (WLED).
