In the Omsk Research and Development Institute of Technology, Control and Diagnostics (OAO “NIITKD”) was invented and introduced into production a unique technology of surface cleaning by means of dry ice. It is possible to clean any surfaces by the method invented by Omsk scientists. The method provides production of dry ice granules and their contact with the work surface. The temperatures’ difference results in the burst of granules and the emerging burst wave functions as a cleaner.

Federal public institution “Russian scientific center “Kurchatovskij institute” and Intel Company signed an agreement about intentions providing collaboration in the sphere of creation of nanomaterials and nanosystems for their application in micro- and nanoelectronics.

The main kind of transport on the Russian North is aviation and deer. It is impossible to build railroad there because railroad bed will constantly “glide” in permafrost. Asphalt simply can not withstand the arctic temperature differences, and concrete-surfaced road is so expensive, that usually concrete roads are only central streets of region centre and a runway of local aerodrome. So the academician of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences Anatoly Junitsky suggests to develop unconventional transportation network – to lay a cable.

Uranium-base nanostructures were got in Saint Petersburg State University (SPSU). With the help of these developments it is possible to find landmark decisions of urgent problem for Russia that is utilization of nuclear waste. In addition, not only creation of uranium-based materials will become possible but also while it in shipment they will have environmental protection improvement. Scientists applied for inclusion of the project in Center of nanotechnologies founded in SPSU.

Scientific production association of the special materials in Saint Petersburg created bullet-proof vests for working dogs. The high cost of training of working dogs impelled specialists to develop and begin the actual tests of the dog proof vests “Nord”, intended for protection of dogs from splinters and bullets.

Actuality 2007, summer. A bomb containing almost half of tone of extinguishant is able to put out flame even in the conditions of frightful fire gale on the area of 1000 square meters.
