An effective biosorbent based on structured biomaterials of animal and vegetable origin will help Krasnoyarsk scientists reduce the pollution level of major Russian rivers.

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.

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.

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 from Kirensky Institute of Physics, Federal Research Center KSC SB RAS (IP SB RAS) together with their colleagues from Siberian Federal University (SFU) studied the properties of the ferromagnetic material PbMnBO4. They found out that the unique magnetic and thermal characteristics of this compound are determined by its specific magnetic structure. The work was supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research, and its results were published in the Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials.

SibFU researchers together with their colleagues from Institute of Biophysics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences proved that boganida char (Salvelinus boganidae), which is endemic to the lakes of Khatanga rvier basin and the lakes of Norilka-Pyasino system, has a record level of Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids among all known wild fish species.
