because. with. you and thanks renewed the latest in science technology from around russia.

well. tonight stories for you and thousands of. resignation of. the demonstration. fails as the republican controlled house of representatives. cuts proposed by the democrats. to try to reach a deal before. the president. calls out. to say. it's exactly midnight moscow time indeed one thirty one moscow time let me correct

myself next technology update looks at the energy conservation of the latest developments in the high. seas. 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 in cash gets burned by crummy old incandescent light bulbs but what if i could get you a lot more light and waste way less water in the process and up and coming russian company is just open a huge new production facility to help make that energy efficient dream a reality. doesn't need my sleazy sales pitch 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. and in eastern europe we can produce. it. we'll cover. latest in a long line russian. made some of the first strides in constructing the incandescent lamps in the eighteenth seventy's using carbon filaments renowned american inventor thomas edison introduced improved elements that extended relatively short life of

electric bulbs to forty then to over one thousand hours by the early twentieth century the tungsten filament light bulb still in use today were already emerging and lamps appeared in the. at the end of the one nine hundred fifty s. and high pressure sodium street lighting in the sixty's compact florescent stores 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 lighting of the future. future the big shots 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. in fact. all of this physical technical institute it's been a world class center for fundamental physics and cutting edge technology since the days of its founder. train the ranks of the top nuclear scientists they also begin work on semiconductors that underpins virtually all modern electronics. one of the institutes in the field of semiconductor physics and of today's daily d's.

and sixty's we saw the appearance of. yeah that was in the late one nine hundred sixty nine hundred seventy. is is the next generation know how developed 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 op electronics department gave them the best of foundations they were completing their studies at a time of difficult transition for the russian scientific community. and the beginning of. our economy facing a dramatic evil due to disastrous reforms implemented by the government i mean

there 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 international collaboration. founders were part of a global generation of 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 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. these challenges were particularly acute

endured more of a city at the heart of the once mighty male logical complex in europe's largest economy these pictures are from the final days of phoenix west a massive plant operator. along with other heavy industry installations. 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. there is a decision you can see here so. by the way a. new

facility. passed. in april two thousand and five. with. clean room infrastructure companies trying to take technology. from the city state and european union now hosting around twenty companies with over one hundred employees including many. technology. obviously. this is. the perfect infrastructure in order to do the technology.

come from basically. 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 technology to products and prepare the company in order to approach global markets that's exactly the kind of preparation. and his classmates turned business partners adopt a gun we're looking for when they came to dortmund an incubator to help them take top quality off to electronic technology to 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. company made in korea was here and through this time to develop the main principles and basically team. loop created that elegant but 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 ensure equipment diodes don't grow on trees big growing every taxi all reactors able to rent top quality equipment at affordable rates and the m.s.t. factory and the after gun 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 in 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

elite 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. blue light negative in positive charge in the active layer of the diode. in the form of visible light and. recovering the innovation technologies. and we talked to. several financial groups and. they. bought it. and. we found the way the. least disliked defects

to. the chips was a more cost efficient technology delivering the same level of performance in a transition phase. who have. busy calibrating their production lines in st petersburg to perfectly recreate the recipe day nailed down and it's a tedious process. and now the expectations are. 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 fifty times meanwhile they will cut in half the energy usage of most and usefully ten times.

mercury pollution is a potentially serious problem with energy saving c.f.l. . elegies completely. environmentally safe in russia from. four hundred. other people as well. but in russia there is no such high penetration of the so we see that in terms of the market size directly. it's bigger. we expect russian market to grow. and we see the growth of the market for russia from seventy to one hundred percent a year and we expect that to continue. doesn't have to look for customers as the city of st petersburg is undergoing an l.e.d. overhaul. company is 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 will be. initially we intend to use to eliminate the city's. 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 rays in the city as well as the embankments and other cases. beyond their hometown up to go on his 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 in much of the region is expensive and

heavily subsidized they also need new technology built to withstand their long brutal winter. what have you guys done to make it work in. temperature conditions like we have a lot of parts of russia. and 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 my. degree .

is definitely a big competitive game since other companies. already been on the market for years and has to show the ability to meet customer specific demand. standards and it's better lighting solutions ever lower costs. like. kind of mass consumer base is a bit beyond our grasp even if you think. you might when you saw the three hundred dollars. driving down the cost of chip production

somebody needs to tackle the issue of design. only the creative minds and more deliberative studios are already on the case my scales hip is designed squad is constantly coming up with new week to merge high tech functions with the fashionable for their blueprints a behind the futuristic prototype octagon screw in the elite light pole. was the main challenge that you guys had to overcome in making these plans obviously digic knowledge is quite advanced now but they still go to some issues to solve the biggest one ease the problem of could and don't use the loss 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 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 some of the it's stuff like mushrooms for example that apes there just like cause a new wave in up and go in and we create the same the same similar stuff here and help to extend the capacity and space and. to make that cooling process more effect 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 a different look so what then is the future of this kind of designing to look like

you mentioned at the deed self gets in small and small and for example they can close your which is called slight engine and physically it's a to. but you know the comma you could wait. for but some of the designs may seem a bit frivolous a first glance but we're talking about a far more flexible lighting future where we can ditch traditional shapes in the name of variety added bit of color to just about anything and replace old school single function buttons with tiny. multiplying the devices possibilities another. location is in the automobile lighting and the hybrid russian billionaire this month is literally hoping to reinvent the wheel. sometime in two thousand and twelve the economy cars are trimmed with all the latest gadgets for the urban

commuter. next in group backs both octagon in the new car company so it's no wonder he understood the advantages of that product from st peter's. when you first of all the use of light to me. and secondly no less important he extended lifespan basically. the use of l e d's to simplify the. lowering costs by saving in high precision features. has company here as the world's leading luxury sports car makers head seen the light about l.e.d. lamps in recent years as well as the bang for the buck gets better you can expect to encounter more l.e.d.s. on the road. as you can see the technology is finding applications everywhere these days even up your own living room but it's just the tip of the iceberg back in the dorm an incubator there are more innovations on the way from the same team of st

petersburg scientists upstairs from octagons launching pad factory i don't offices of the russian companies. industry. semiconductor. international team. technology. beginning here with molecular. and finishing with a range of packaged products. chips and fiber. for use. in communications technology. in the laboratory of the. private company here. we managed to secure a significant. produces

millions of chips for the. research to create a unique to be used in the industry of optical computer interconnections. different place in. the. project. with a proposal to. chips using. something unique. his company is among the global elite. semiconductor crystals. discovered in the one nine hundred eighty s. physicist. great advantages.

and. relative noise these properties long been theorized benefits are on the verge of realisation. on the basis of the company's latest invention we will be able to make a chip that will transmit many channels through a single fiber move than one hundred gigabits. it will help replace the bulky bunches of cables that you see everywhere today just a few fibers. energy consumption several dozen times and the maintenance costs many hundred times so it. could be all the data coming out of your computer gets on a highway today the options are basically either building a new road. or waiting in traffic with the other data. adding lanes to

the same highway sending information on the same fiber using several different non-interfering wave links and to that the fact that each plane is flying it speed and you see what kind of breakthrough we're talking about multiply that by the scale of data. google facebook or amazon and you're redefining the world of cloud computing. one hundred data centers being set up every year around the world these are enormous factories for data processing consuming a huge amount of energy. in two thousand and six the data processing industry two percent of electric energy production in the united states that's a huge number so expect to revolutionize the optical interconnect industry in the near future with research and development and production sites in germany.

so obviously the right conditions for top russian optoelectronics technologies to develop have been set up in. two competitive firms with. over the. project and. over the next decade. right here.

he's going to cover. these. we would never. be. very. much.
