trying to rebuild the self-sufficient way of life especially when it comes to resisting the bad habits of city. it's no easy matter living in the country of course but on the other hand it will protect it from the harm of the city from drugs of all home smoking go. but tonight at least the elders of the village are allowing themselves a few liberties tom box and eat. and just a few moments of updates if i had lines that don't go away.

well come to the. one who said big splash in the world of high tech business what turns events science into i can't change products they don't understand oh he'll watch these is kept he followed rushing evaders to easy majors abroad and their big breakthrough back home spotlight on startups on technology update here on on. we've got the future covered.

in the weeks i'm a new small t.v. now at home policy yalla small scale freezes over thousands of falls asleep when i spend time in regular traffic jams is frozen rain paralyzes the capital for day. five alleged islamic extremists arrested in denmark fourteen the country's biggest seva terrorism plot. the emus not doing enough to beat the threats. say two years after its massive offensive against gaza israel says it's easing the

blockade but locals of feel the lines are only getting tougher. for more oil tycoon mikhail holdout a costly is to spend six more years behind balls to being convicted of beslan on money laundering. on the world wide welcome to twenty eleven a bright salt for the new year with find a way in festivities around the globe. a look now towards the future with the world's most promising gizmos and gadgets technology updates coming next don't go away. hello and welcome to technology update are you tired of paying those overblown

electric bills at the end of each month this could be the answer you've been waiting for a lot of the energy and with it a lot of the harder and caskets burn out by crummy old incandescent light bulbs but what if i could get you a lot more light and waste way less wattage in the process and up and coming russian company has just open a huge new production facility to help make that energy efficient dream a reality. doesn't need my sleazy sales fish high tech brainchild of a trio of russian scientists was born abroad and is now returned to russia to have been on a shiny new factory at the outskirts of st petersburg aside from being a happy homecoming assembly line launches a big step in russia's attempts to modernize its economy and go green at the same time. the capacity. is the highest. in russia countries and in eastern europe we can produce today.

it's equal to. we'll cover. the latest in a long line russian. made some of the first strides in constructing the incandescent lamps in the hundred seventy s. using carbon filaments renowned american inventor thomas edison introduced improved filaments been extended to relatively short life of electric bulbs first to forty then to over one thousand hours by the early twentieth century the tungsten filament light bulbs still in use today were already emerging and lamps appeared in the. lamps at the end of the one nine hundred fifty s. and high pressure sodium street lighting in the sixty's compact fluorescents or c.f.l. were pioneered in the seventy's and are still a popular option as we move towards energy efficiency. diodes may be seen in the ninety's with improvements in technology since then showing incredible flexibility

and efficiency quite possibly making. the future. future that brought out the big shots to the octagon factory opening. clearly understood the positive impact of having the company on and she was joined by top level dignitaries and investors from moscow and beyond it's a project that state high tech corporation is happy to throw its weight behind. in the field. is. in fact. cademy at the root of all of this. it's been a world class center for fundamental physics and cutting edge technology since the days of its founder. not only did she and the faculty a dilemma. train the ranks of the soviet union's top nuclear scientists they also

begin work on semiconductors that underpins virtually all modern electronics. was one of the institutes in the field of semiconductor physics and of today's daily d.'s. were developed. twenty. six days we saw the appearance of d.s. based on. semiconductors. yeah that was in the late one nine hundred sixty. is is the next generation know how to develop students and what we see here demonstrates how fast this area is changing both in scientific and technological terms and also in terms of the top rate equipment racing here. top

managers. of students in the same mid ninety's graduate class and while the optoelectronics department gave them the best of foundations they were completing their studies at a time of difficult transition for the russian scientific community. at the beginning of. our economy facing a dramatic evil due to disastrous reforms implemented by the government i mean they were carried out in a callous way and as a result russian science found itself in a difficult situation we could not have survived maintained scientific potential with international collaboration. founders were. innovative entrepreneurs seeking the elusive startup conditions in an era of uncertainty in fact much of the developed world was suffering an economic identity crisis in the late twentieth century not just in the collapsing socialist bloc the

west german city of dortmund where the russian innovators eventually founder incubate was no exception. the world is full of rusting old industrial space by the wayside and the constant shifts of the global economy the challenge on everyone's minds is to rethink and rebuild these spaces to compete in the high tech twenty first century. challenges were particularly acute endured more a city of the once mighty male logical complex and europe's largest economy these pictures are from the final days of phoenix west a massive plant operator. that along with other heavy industry installations. working class long before the mill was shuttered for good in one thousand nine hundred eight the economic.

crisis. they had to take a decision to do for the future. technology . the decision and the result of this decision you can see here so. by the way as. impressive new facility. passed the doors opened in april two thousand and five. for micro. clean room infrastructure for small companies trying to take technology ideas. from the city state and european union now hosting around twenty companies with over one

hundred employees including many from russia with. technology. markets obviously. this is. the perfect infrastructure in order to do the technology. where the money to come from basically needs investors but you know to get this infrastructure in a. to make a predictable conversion you have a clear timeframe move to the for use in order to convert technology to products and prepare the company in order to approach global markets that's exactly the kind of preparation alex and his classmates turned business partners adopt a gun we're looking for when they came to dortmund and into baiter to help them take top quality optoelectronics technology into the market. up the gun originally

was founded by. two my friends and classmates from university and myself and. myers who joined us and he helped to move here to. this is. the company made in creation was here and through this time to develop the main principles and basically team. loop creatives that elegant today we have between ten companies on the level of performance so what exactly was it that opera gun needed to get their business off the ground insured equipment light emitting diodes don't grow on trees they grow in every taxi all reactors able to rent top quality equipment in affordable rates and the m.s.t. factory in the octagon team could set about generating the top quality samples that made them an attractive investment to set up a full scale production here's how it's done production starts with

a thin model crystal lean sapphire wafer and a process known as. placed inside a special chamber the wafer is bombarded with various gases to form a multi-layered structure under specific pressure and temperature conditions the gases cause chemical reactions leaving layers of gallium nitride indium nitride and aluminum nitride on the way for surface each wafer will produce up to thousands of l.e.d.s. so a laser edging process cards out the individual chips contacts are then affixed to each one of the tiny l.e.d. chips are now ready to be placed in. casement connected with the contacts and covered with a foster layer to convert blue to white light negative in positive charge currents meet in the active layer of the diode releasing photons in the form of visible light. recovering the innovation technologies. and we've talked to

several groups several financial groups and on the group. they realize the potential of the company bought it now main expertise. and insight at least. we found a way that we can grow material with least disliked defects to even. mean that we can build chips with a more cost efficient technology delivering the same level of performance we are in a transition phase for pilots. who have. busy calibrating their production lines in st petersburg to perfectly recreate the recipe day nailed down and it's a tedious process even on the prototype scale and now the expectations are. comes

out of these machines is going not to showcase for potential investors but to meet the lighting needs of clients. to plan what advantages. for an equivalent amount of light up to go on projects it's. nearly ten fold and incandescents by fifty times meanwhile they will cut in half the energy usage of most c.f.l. and usefully ten times less electricity than an old school bulbs mercury pollution is a potentially serious problem with energy saving c.f.l. . toxic threat. completely. environmentally safe in russia from next year from. four hundred. other people. but in russia there is no such high penetration. so we see that in terms of the market size. it's bigger

to europe to. expect russian market to grow. we see the growth of the market for russia from seventy to one hundred percent a year and we expect to continue. doesn't have to look. as the city of st petersburg is undergoing in l.e.d. overhaul. companies in charge of maintaining some one hundred eighty thousand lighting elements around the city that's a huge market for the new. currently power consumption total several megawatts. of a major production plant that will produce and hopefully lights to. initially we intend to use to eliminate the city's gardens and. vicious municipal construction plan in the pipeline with new streets to be designed and built in two thousand and twelve twenty thirteen. so after we've done the pox we'll

extend the replacement program to residential districts and then move on to revamp the lighting for major transport raise in the city as well as the embankments and. beyond their hometown branching out to the far away russian republic of straddling the arctic circle in icy northern siberia energy efficiency is more than a slogan they're producing electricity and much of the region is expensive and heavily subsidized they also need new technology built to withstand their long brutal winter. what if you. still work in temperature conditions like we have a lot of parts of russia. cold country. that you need minus sixty degree.

this is a prototype here what's different about it i can't tell with the naked eye but tell me a little bit about the technology i would say that right now you can buy. those . definitely a big competitive game since other companies. already been on the market for years to show the ability to meet customer specific demand. ever lower costs.

for. kind of mass consumer base. even if you think. you might. driving down the cost of chip production somebody needs to tackle the issue of design. creative minds that studios are already on the case. is constantly coming up with new ways to function with the fashionable for. the futuristic prototype. screw in. was the mean challenge that you guys had to

overcome in making these lamps obviously edited knowledge is quite advanced now but they still go to some issues to solve the biggest one ease the problem of couldn't don't because these produce a lot of heat so we have to design the very good. read into is that what this thing is right here yeah it's like. the theme we just came out for the market maybe three years ago and it's just a standard solution but we like to change it and make it more effective and we got inspired by nature because if you look at someone getting stuff like mushrooms for example that apes there they just like cause a new wave in up and go in and we create the same the same similar stuff here and help us to extend the capacity and space around and. to make that cooling process more effective from a purely design perspective from an artistic perspective do you like working with

bulbs that need a radiator this clunky like when i look at this i see mostly radiator very little ball and you don't get light maybe as much coming down this direction are you looking at ways to completely redo l.e.d. lighting so that you don't have to have such a bulky radiator industry itself is very rapidly changing day by day i think maybe even up to one year we'll have another design beefed up so there's a different look so what then is the future of this kind of designing to look like are you mentioned at the deed silva gets in small and small and for example they can demolish your which is called slight engine and physically it's a very very tiny and sleek and thin adamant and they implemented that but not you know the common you could wait any shape whatever you want really looking forward to some of the designs may seem a bit frivolous it first glimpse but we're talking about a far more flexible lighting future where we can. to traditional shapes in the name

of variety. to just about anything and replace old school single function buttons with tiny screens multiplying the devices possibilities. and the. russian billionaire this month is literally hoping to reinvent the wheel. sometime in two thousand and twelve. with all the latest gadgets for the erving to . group both in the new car company so it's no wonder he understood the advantages of that product from st peter's little which is the first of the use of light to me . and secondly no less important. basically. is to simplify the tax. by saving in high precision features. as company here

as the world's leading luxury sports car makers head seen the light about in recent years as well as the bang for the buck you can expect to encounter more l.e.d.s. on the road. as you can see technology is finding applications everywhere these days even your own living room but it's just the tip of the iceberg back. there more innovations on the way from the same team of st petersburg scientists. from our. offices of the russian company. their classmates and former colleagues. industry in an even deeper into their scientific work on semiconductor physics they've assembled an international team to become one of the world's leaders in laser technology endured when they've set up a complete production cycle beginning here with molecular. and. finishing with a range of packaged products. laser chips and fiber laser modules for use in

industrial in communications technology. research is from the physical technical university where we worked in the laboratory of the. private company here in germany we managed to secure significant funds from investors and. company other implications produces millions of chips for the medical. research to create a unique chip to be used in the industry of optical computer interconnections. different place now. the. project. was a proposal to set up production facilities. chips using. something

unique. to was called quantum dots. where his company is among the global elite. confined semiconductor crystals with unique electronics. discovered in the one nine hundred eighty s. physicist. quantum dots are great advantages in laser applications. for more amplitude and. relative noise. benefits. company's latest invention. through this.

one hundred gigabits. you see everywhere today just a few. hundred times. think of the. data coming out of your computer. today the options are basically. waiting in traffic with the data. to the same highway sending information on the same fiber using several different. speed and you see what kind of breakthrough we're talking about. computer. one hundred.

the world. in two thousand and six. that's a huge number. expect. future. development . technologies to develop. to competitive firms with cutting edge projects. and possibly the way they build successful innovative business abroad and bring them home. over the world from the famous silicon valley to taiwan in southeast asia. well the time come to build up this kind of center in russia the resoundingly answer from

moscow right now that's see idea at the heart of the skolkovo project an international city of science and technology set to fan out over the next decade in all directions from this spot just outside of moscow so the next time technology update brings you a high tech success story it might just be born and raised right here in till then enjoy the right. i hope that school concept is going to cover these. to take scientific groups which i did hers to give them kind of in kuwait the conditions like could get it and i missed a factory but we discussed with you when we were there and set up a small manufacturing in order to develop you all for a sample or a prototype and get custom attraction. and this part has to be done in russia immediately otherwise we would never you know cross the breach between science and manufacturing would be because between science and avoid a manufacturing there is

a huge gap there is a prototype development and find just i myself i'm a scientist they very often say don't understand how huge is this gap. brightening if you move it. from the finest impression it's. nice clean start on t.v. don't come. wealthy british style it's time to buy.
