Siberian Federal University

Scientists of Siberian Federal University were able to increase the sensitivity of a biosensor, which is capable of analyzing water and food products for toxicity using gold nanoparticles says TASS.

Scientists of Siberian Federal University found possible sources of medicinal and antimicrobial drugs. The results of the study of unique medicinal properties of the microorganisms living within the plant — endosymbionts, are published in the scientific journal Frontiers of Biology. The news of the discovery was published by the scientific portal TASS.

The innovative technology of preparation for the safe storage of radioactive waste (RW) obtained from the processing of spent irradiated nuclear fuel (SNF), was developed by scientists of Siberian Federal University.

Scientists from the School of Engineering Physics and Radio Electronics of Siberian Federal University in cooperation with NPO “UST” Ltd. have created an antenna array, which will provide telephone service and Internet connection to the remote Northern regions of Russia.

Scientists of Siberian Federal University predicted the possible existence of two new two-dimensional metastable forms of vanadium nitride: t-VN and h-VN, which have strong ferromagnetic properties. The predicted structures have prospects in creating low-dimensional spintronic nanodevices of a new generation. The results of the study are published in "Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters".

Scientists from Siberian Federal University (SibFU) and the L. V. Kirensky Institute of Physics (SB RAS) conducted theoretical studies of hybrid Tamm plasmons. Using numerical calculations, they were able to predict the structure in which it is possible to control the wavelength of these quasiparticles by means of an external electric field or heating. The study is presented in the Journal of the Optical Society of America B.

September 11–14, 2018, V International Scientific Conference «Regional Problems of Earth Remote Sensing» is taking place at Siberian Federal University. The conference is organized by the School of Space and Information Technology of SibFU. Students, postgraduates, young scientists, lecturers and experts are invited to participate.

International Stuff and Students Support Office invites everyone to participate in a Mehndi Contest, organized together with SibFU's faculty staff members from India. The event will take place at 6 PM next Tuesday, on March, 27 at the Museum of Pop Science (4 fl., Dormitory 22, Svobodniy, 76D).

A team of scientists from Kirensky Institute of Physics of the Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Science and Siberian Federal University (SibFU) together with Russian and foreign colleagues studied the droplets of a cholesteric liquid crystal that contained a twisted defect loop. The results of the study were published in Scientific Reports journal.
