Siberian Federal University

Scientists of Siberian Federal University have digitized ancient artifacts found in Boguchany district of Krasnoyarsk Territory. Rare jewelry, religious and household items helped to learn about the way of life of the oldest inhabitants of the banks of the Angara River, who settled in the vast taiga zone of Yenisey Siberia during the Migration Period in the 3-4th centuries AD and large-scale migrations of the Xiongnu (Huns) people.

SibFU researchers have proposed the design of interplanetary station modules that will be able to supply astronauts with mushrooms which are included into their recommended diet. According to the scientists, their farm will provide the most efficient yield per 1 m². The results were published in Heliyon.

Учёные Института торговли и сферы услуг Сибирского федерального университета разработали экологичный краситель на основе коры хвойных видов деревьев. Метод его получения планируют запатентовать и внедрять в текстильное производство. Новостью поделилось Информационное агентство ТАСС.

SibFU scientists have synthesized a sorbent based on chemically modified silica using commercially available reagents. The new material is capable of concentrating and extracting most rare earth elements from solutions, and the amount of sorbent used is relatively small.

SibFU scientists have again reached the top in a number of scientific fields in the ranking of the leading international academic platform for researchers research.com.

According to the findings of scientists, potassium sorbate has an inhibitory effect and reduces the activity of trypsin, responsible for protein breakdown.

The scientists of the School of Non-Ferrous Metals and Material Science, SibFU have determined the optimal chemical composition of Gadfield steel in order to increase the impact strength of this material. After analyzing the effect of alloying additives (manganese, silicon and chromium) on the steel properties, the experts used mathematical statistics and forecasting tools to find out what proportion of these elements in the alloy composition will improve the performance properties of Gadfield steel.

Scientists of the School of Trade and Services of Siberian Federal University conducted the first stage of a study on commercial fish of the Arctic zone of Krasnoyarsk Territory. Having studied the data on the chemical composition of different species of northern fish, as well as the available information on the biological value of food products from Arctic fish after processing, the experts came to the conclusion that it is necessary to systematize and expand these data. The work of the Krasnoyarsk scientists will contribute to developing an evidence base for the promotion of products in accordance with the requirements of the interstate regulation of the Customs Union TR CU 022/2011 “Food Products in Terms of Their Labeling”.

The researchers of Yenisey Siberia Research and Educational Center proposed to dispose plastic waste using a detonation wave. They suppose that this contributes to the maximum decomposition of materials without the release of toxic compounds.

An accurate and fast method for analyzing the suitability of commercial pesticides for agriculture was created by SibFU scientists together with colleagues from the Institute of Biophysics SB RAS. According to them, the development allows analyzing the toxicity of a commercial pesticide as a whole, and not just its active substance. The results are published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences.
