Scientists from Krasnoyarsk and Irkutsk have compared the effects of various types of SURFace-ACTive AgeNTS (surfactants) on luminescent bacteria and enzyme systems (reductase and luciferase) to find out how harmful these surfactants are to living organisms.

Scientists of Siberian Federal University have developed special foundations consisting of engineered wood or metal for use in permafrost.

Skolkovo Foundation has started the application campaign for a large-scale federal project to search for promising innovative developments. The Startup Tour will be held in the capital of the region on 1 March and will become one of the satellite events of the Krasnoyarsk Economic Forum.

The Cup of Ivan Yarygin, dedicated to the memory of the two-time Olympic champion, ended in Krasnoyarsk on 29 January 2023.

Maksim Molokeev, a scientist at SibFU’s School of Engineering Physics and Radio Electronics, proposed using machine learning to detect the relationship between the chemical formula of inorganic red and infrared phosphors and the wavelength of radiation, as well as the half-width of the maximum radiation.

Scientists from the Siberian Federal University and specialists from the SB RAS's Krasnoyarsk Research Centre have studied the population dynamics of five species of forest insects that feed on tree needles in the Siberian taiga. To do this, they created and analyzed a series of data on the dynamics of the number of insects for the period from 1979 to 2017. This information helps to assess how various factors — food, natural phenomena, human intervention — affect the dynamics of the development of the insect pest population and make it possible to identify the zone in which an outbreak may begin.

Scientists of Siberian Federal University, who have been studying the properties of soil and vegetation cover of the Arctic territories of Krasnoyarsk Territory for about 10 years, propose to change the rules for using equipment in the tundra. Among the recommendations is to oblige subsoil users in the Arctic to use GLONASS systems, Siberian Federal University School of Ecology and Geography Director Ruslan Sharafutdinov told TASS.

On 20 January 2023, Siberian Federal University hosted a meeting of the Council of Young Scientists and Specialists under the Governor of Krasnoyarsk Territory, chaired by Alexander Uss, the head of the region. Representatives of the Krasnoyarsk Regional Fund of Science and Technology Support also took part in the meeting.

An Iraqi-Russian team of scientists has developed a system for detecting breast tumor boundaries. The new system will automate tumor detection and segmentation and help radiologists significantly reduce the diagnostic time and increase the accuracy of determining infected and healthy areas.

Scientists of Siberian Federal University, together with colleagues from the Yenisey branch of Glavrybvod Federal State Budgetary Institution, have studied the composition and content of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in juvenile Siberian sturgeon grown in aquaculture. The young of fish is commonly fish from the larval stage to the beginning of puberty. Having found out how different diets affect the content of valuable acids in the muscle tissue of this group of fish, the scientists came closer to developing a balanced diet that will help Siberian sturgeon fry to better adapt when moving from aquaculture to natural conditions.
