comes to the. moon a split trip to a magical land where pesticides anymore for school children to live and learn without ever opening the paper. and the laws of physics no longer apply and we're big can't always be bigger still be afraid take my hand and enjoy the ride on technology update here on on cheap. we've. seen.

on. a very warm welcome to you this is your news today the protesters on the walls. they are. even chance a good chance a chance to get a glimpse of the status of the huge experiment is exploding. you will probably see this right here is what it knows the globe is slowly trying to make sense of local economies and it's all changed things as financial temples the release of clambering to maintain our confidence in long lives and taking on the critics wants to be seen trade imbalances recession look to the nations close to collapsing a subprime loan will close one small but some fail simple a bias against sealevel like to see us crash seven and smash the ceiling is like the club in springfield for sale just programs increase the total economy.

hello and welcome just as the leaves here are starting to change color we on technology are changing things around as well in this episode we'll be highlighting some of the biggest developments and russian science and technology from just the past few weeks. our first stop this month takes us to the annual forum hosted by russo yeah no russia's leading nanotechnology company and many of its partners are showing off all the latest developments both big and small how does gathering in moscow at the end of october there are new products ranging from a nano printer that can create images on water to the newest innovations in nano medicine and cutting edge energy production there's even a friendly robot has answered all the participants questions as well as the so-called futurist or who equipped with id bring us one step closer to world free from long checkout lines there's plenty to please the eye here at the roof nanotech

forum but for us the star of the show is this much hyped plastic logic one hundred company exacts hope that this winter device will eventually replace traditional school textbooks this sixteen ounce device can replace i think stacks of texts as well as new entire libraries worth of books several regional governments have already started trials in schools around russia. as in the. start of this project with. original of the company was felt in cambridge. from. the first. place to create cranes for through and. right now we give them with the company a new project in russia the purpose of which is to create the new york connection. and one of the regions. suitable for this so this will be the

largest transfer in the world. because there was this. classically trained scream until also some just production with other horses was going to. kill that plant is out had run the new devices will be built here at plastic the largest existing production facility certainly the most important breakthrough in this electronic reader is it under breakable plastic backplane traditionally electronic books and tablets are fitted with a glass back screen which approach of breaking relatively easily the first generation of interval displays have been made from stainless steel oil or the company's so-called plastic paper technology this electronic book is lighter and more durable than ever. and one of the possibilities for using this in the classroom quest a quick reader has some benefits. paper books for example you. don't

want the whole set of books or you can you know in the home library if you knew this particular the worse books for six and so on is great so this is the clear advantage other advantages that you come and of course there has been some criticism that a black and white display may not be the best to use for school textbooks you know for something like the history of art maybe black and white isn't the best and what do you think about that it's a very good question of course print is not the best option and in the case of some subjects like biology or brain it would be of course greenstone the book and was grim but this is different. and so one of the questions because if you commission we understood that there was just from this book because in this case it's complete . which means a much easier to read and so much more safe for.

your poor this is the way the roots nano isn't the only russian company coming out with an innovative new digital reader. given the fact of the country is home to one of the most literate added reading populations the market for more traditional it products books is certainly an attractive one on the moscow metro if you're sure to find one of your fellow passengers putting open his or her trusty reader and in russia there's a good chance that one of them was made by wexler on a company offers traditional readers with cheaper breakable glass back screens it's about to launch its own belief but little but the latest plastic paquin technology that is sitting where the consumer markets heading this little reader could make a big splash what's the future of the e-books market in your opinion. first of all it's a growing market it's the fastest growing segments in the auto industry with a hundred percent annual increase over the last three years and this year alone we expect more than a million e-book devices to be sold in russia in terms of trends flexibility is

definitely the one and we will continue to produce flexible displays that. will be used in educational institutions there for the displays launch not compact because it needs to comply with standards when you've got them we're all for a genuinely compact reader which has a flexible body as well as these play. our target audience is a broad one any kind of consumer can use it that this will be for sale for everyone . and. let me see. what the market seems to have spoken regarding general the readers there's no shortage of different approaches to integrating digital technology in the classroom the latest trend here seems to be high tech tablets which have raised from the expensive name brands to the remarkably cheap.

in recent weeks there's been one piece of news in the world of science that has the potential to change how we understand just about everything around us it seems from our measurement that. even faster than light could this be the biggest development in physics since einstein's day well it's all relative. if you're into russian scientists are doing their part to find out if that little particle actually does go as fast as it appears but these tiny particles like in size they make up for it with their potential to explain things yet unknown. neutrinos play a crucial role in the theory of evolution of the universe. because . at certain stages this particle could become the main vehicle for transporting energy from an object. now there are still

not completely understood but much of what we do know about neutrinos comes from this research center here of laboratory for nuclear problems back in the mid one nine hundred fifty s. italian. moved to do the research neutrinos during his life he was responsible for some of the biggest the in medical breakthroughs in the field of neutrino physics as a result. has remained at the center of the discipline to this very day. our laboratory takes part in many international experiments that involve studying. the work on discovering and measuring you know known characteristics. is the. heavy lifting is done at institutes in russia in france none of their work would be possible without organization for nuclear research from the facilities underground

here billions of particles are created several times a day using this super proton synchrotron the accelerator protons are sent along a tunnel where many turn into neutrinos the pint sized particles are then focussed into a beam that since them from the earth directed at the detector seven hundred thirty kilometers away the thirteen hundred ton detector. is made up of one hundred fifty thousand of a motion film plates the unexpected discovery about neutrinos may have grabbed the headlines but it's actually just a side experiment under most circumstances neutrinos travel in a straight line and when they break down and observe lepton and a few other particles and crucial thing here is that the want to let the brakes off straight from the path of the neutrino in two thousand and ten however they finally saw what they were looking for. a decade. the say that i'm the one left appears not

directly from the path of the one of the tree no that little gap or keep the physicist at opera believe children a movie like neutrino oscillated into a towel on the one which then gave rise to a towel lepton vindicate him to remove one of lepton among other things this is important for understanding of the fundamental basis of our existence as fairly mysterious that the universe is a vault in this way i mean the reason mass and almost no answer you treat of physics could give us a clue and help to explain this fact so long as the neutrino remains so important and so mysterious physicists like those here do we'll keep twinning the way trying to peel back our ignorance sliver plus sliver for the time being these scientists have more than enough on their plate whether be trying to find further evidence of neutrino oscillation or checking and double checking the surprising result from band sasso if these neutrinos are found to be able to break the universal speed limit it could lead to

a major rethinking of many aspects of modern physics. is the independent experiments proving that neutrinos speed is faster than the speed of light for us to build revolutionize our conception of the world action now everything was based on this with the speed of light is the talk of a lawsuit see that nature has devised to communicate a signal that it's difficult to predict how science will change well the main thing to do now is to make sure initial results have been correct. but leaving all that high minded particle physics stuff behind for now we've come back down to earth. and are focusing on an innovative russian solution to the problem of pesticide related pollution. or more closely associated with industrial agriculture in big barley pesticides are just as much of

a threat in cities and that's what a group of russian environmentalist got together to highlight here in gorky park in the middle of september the new soil cleansing product right here in russia these green advocates hope to breathe new life into the ground in more ways than one. among so the facts the substance cuts the level of toxic elements in the soil and at the same time plant growth it can be used for seeds treatment of shoots emerging much earlier it produces a general wholesome effect of balances out the soil when we conduct our cleanup operations we take samples to identify contaminants and concentration levels and then pick the right dose and application right the science behind this product didn't appear overnight russian biologists ten years the right bacteria that would attack a wide range of harmful pesticides the same time affective against them the effort to come up with the right science spearheaded here at moscow state university those

responsible for this breakthrough product called have received multiple awards. the powder with water activates the destructor bacteria and. immediately attacks the remaining effects of harmful pesticides in a matter of weeks eight percent of the remnants of killing poisons are gone. quite complicated. surprisingly simple just the way sprinkling a special solution over the contaminated plot of land it's a biological consisting of activated cells of strains of bacteria to structures it's been designed to destroy pesticides this pesticide type. is now on the un list of toxic contaminants that are banned from use this year russia right to find the u.n. sponsored stockholm convention on persistent organic pollutants under the treaty there's a list of twenty substances that are considered hazardous and now

a genocide kills about eight hundred nine thousand of them in russia some two hundred thousand tons of pesticides are still stored especially refuse dumps almost the same amount is buried under the ground in many russian regions the roster friesian out-i region moscow region and of our own issue region. are people aware of the risks of using pesticides it's good to see that people are not indifferent that they want to make a difference and i believe it will soon become more popular as interest in a greener planet grows by zero russia will be there to help foster such beliefs at their office in moscow they're trying to raise awareness actually using social networking sites maybe even craze a comic to bring their message to a wider younger audience and this miniature graphic novel little really great is one of the dangers of pesticides which leads her to a life of science to try and break their hold on earth of course her efforts run up against powerful forces determined to stop her and all her green activists dreaming

of a planet free from dangerous pesticides right the project philosophy is based on very simple things that every person can understand so only a joint effort will help us restore the environmental balance on the planet thanks to bio russia and phenolics places such as corky park and moscow state universities but tentacle gardens are becoming cleaner and cleaner green awareness is on the rise in russia but lately there's been something else on a lot of people's minds. the top of the town lately here in moscow has been bad of the bolshoi theater is grand reopening the russian engineers responsible for this massive undertaking have leaned on the latest technology to make his world renowned performance help bigger and better than ever. after six long years of waiting russia's most famous theater is opening its doors

to the public again at the end of october despite some early setbacks both engineers and our does it have been working around the clock to get moscow's iconic theatre ready in time for its much anticipated reopening crystal chandelier glistening again the interior is more resplendent than it's ever been when visitors come in for their first look they're sure to be amazed by all the work that's gone into the renovation and those concerns the biggest of tasks down to the smallest detail those behind all the changes are certain that thanks to both ancient methods and new technology seeing a show at the new polls showing would be like nothing you've ever experienced before the acoustics have been vastly improved and noble innovations in theater technology will allow directors to do things only dreamed of until now sure this place upgrade is what everyone's talking about now but it certainly hasn't been the bolshoi's first facelift the original theatre called the bolshoi imperial burned

down in eighteen zero five twenty years later the bolshoi patrol state was built in its place the theater got its distinctive main facade and named after rid of asians the head of a coronation of alexander the second the current restoration work is to correct damage done over the previous eighty years. were under way back in two thousand and five all the project was ambitious enough to start with nobody had any idea just how big of a job ahead once they got down to business it was discovered that the damage to the theater was much greater than previously thought cracks were discovered through the walls and the buildings foundation had been reduced to mere rubble engineers say the building was seventy five percent unstable. at the beginning none of the builders or restorers had no idea of the amount of work that eventually needed to be done that's because they got the opportunity to assess the state of the walls in the foundation only in two thousand and five after the theatre had been closed the

walls were about to collapse and it was decided to put the building on a thousand piles of steel pillars that held it up in the air the builders have to remove the remaining foundation blocks piece by piece because of structure was incapable of holding the building anymore it was in such a critical condition that the theater would have easily collapsed the replacement of the substructure took three years it was then apparent that the problems could have been solved only by implementing complex engineering projects. in two thousand and nine suman group became the largest shareholder in the firm responsible for the massive project soon as the main task was to sort through all the problems that had arisen and get work back on schedule based on the progress from the past few years it's clear the company was more than up to the task easy statues have been restored to their original chlorine the famous a polished quadriga that adorns the entrance was repaired for the first time in over one hundred years the fears historic bills were given a new luster

a thirty five of them including one team back to the early sixteen hundreds were hoisted back up to the theaters unparalleled belltower. massive amounts of gold was put in place by skilled russian artisans specially trained experts were brought in from all over the country to apply over three thousand square feet of gold in the interior a certain shimmer own but last decades ago the building was late using a particularly russian tactic dating back to medieval times involving a white clay and get this vodka the bolshoi it was made over from head to toe with nothing left untouched the final project to lend it tons of metal stone rebar and concrete to put the whole building back on firm footing. but the ring inventions weren't just concrete and steel. after years of neglect beautiful fabrics that were once the pride of the bolshoi had to be replaced the size the glimmering gold leaf through out the most noticeable update is the redone plush interior here in the

renamed coral held employer cloth panels have been badly damaged over the years major work was needed to give these textiles a new lease on life. however some fabric items had to be completely remade from scratch for the biggest of these jobs the bolshoi looked about four hundred miles southeast of moscow a historic russian textile company was tasked with the gargantuan feat of totally recreating one of the bolshoi's most prized possessions at the stores textile mill in the fields a region skilled fabric workers but their know how and you need machinery to the test they might not employ the absolute latest technology they lose here are naturalised in their ability to produce a large scale high quality bricks one hundred fifty years of the mills experience were needed to totally reconstruct one of the grandest objects of the theater because right do segall occurring and that was a task only source project liber on. dearborn

a couple of months initially the bush years and said the following requirements that pretension contract is a fabric had to be twenty metres wide who should not contain any scenes we took part in a tent it was also a german company among the competitors were offered a fabric made of two pieces put stitched together by some hidden in conspicuous stained glass the bolshoi theater flatly refused saying it had to be a single fabric of top notch quality without any savings the other reasoning on the tanda was that this is a unique type of aluminum there were six of the made in the world and only two is still up and running one here in sewers and the other in the us. thanks to the know how and machinery here in sourced their fifteen hundred pound guy. well i give it proudly wilson spectators to the theater for the first time since eighty ninety six the original curtain which depicts the triumphant arrival of medieval military

leaders and had to be taken down over a century ago due to wear and tear artisans remaking the f a curtain nothing more than two surviving documents of the original should go off well one was an archival photograph the other a hand painted edging dating back to the eighteenth to deny artist labors on the current only possible because of the skilled textile workers out and. has to be works by hand even the slightest mistake means that machines have to be shut down and work has to be done to correct the error of this beautifully redone curtain is one improvement that will be apparent to everyone in the audience while it may not be evident straight away out here on the back side of the theater is actually into real part of what is easily the bolshoi the biggest new technological improvement the innovation starts out on the streets of the northern facade of the theater from here specially designed trucks can bring all the necessary stage equipment

including seem decorations lifts are able to move the heavy loads back and forth between storage and of backstage area individually neck and eye sections of the floor music every part of the stage can be adjusted to fit the director's needs movable force easily get the props and prepared sets to the front with the key and the orchestra pit can also be adapted to allow for new pieces like those from wagner to be performed for the very first time a new lighting apparatus had been installed bringing the bolshoi to the forefront of theater production in terms of both technology and size. from a lot of contemporary architecture standards it's just a theater production space must be four times larger than the space. and there are makeup and storage rooms and other backstage facilities such proportions are required for a theater to be able to stage twenty first century performances to stay at the

cutting edge of the is a related technology so in fact before the bolshoi theater closed in two thousand and five this proportion had been one to one now the reconstructed theater will post a one to four proportion which made this possible first and foremost it's due to the unique engineering got all the theater expand the detail. now when walking across the square you should always keep in mind that you are treading on the roof of a six story building has twenty point five meters deep under your feet an orchestra is having a rehearsal or a chamber concert is under way. this hidden gym is a literally a right under the noses of people on the square in front of the theater the now named beethoven hall this completely new space begins the bolshoi's performers not only an additional place to rehearse but a totally new states to host concerts thanks to new innovations and powerful motor driven tax there's no limit to what this hall can allow for much the chain of the

draw consists of link plates it's a so-called leaf chain connected by axles. each plate is linked to the axles the third axle well you can have a look from this angle functions as the log for the plates. and when passing through the gear unit the leaf chain can change its position from vertical to horizontal there's a metal units and side where you can collapse inserts a pin on. this is a great tool to be used for tying spaces and you don't need to drill any holes. the platforms work starts actually here you turn the engines on the first one behind me and the second up front over there. they start to work similar tenuously and through a system of gearboxes and draw a shot the transferred the torch to all the chains which begin to go up all at the

same sign but. in this unique space those deers in chains in power five separate four segments which in each be raised and lowered is needed this newfound flexibility allows the bolshoi to accommodate a large orchestra a whole amphitheater or numerous rows of seats masterfully combining beauty and utility now with everything in place this and all the other stages are ready to host any number of events like never before the bolshoi has the ability to change things around the exact requirements of each performance and that would give even the most seasoned theatre fans a new reason to head to a show so we'll see you next time and until then enjoy the ride. download the official tea happily cation show on the phone on called touch from the
