three thirty here in moscow thank you for joining us i'm karen tear up to you with a quick look at your headlines dozens are killed in damascus and the first suicide bombings a sense of the syrian uprising began in march authorities are laying the blame on al qaida the attacks come as arab league observers arrived in the country in an effort to work out a peaceful solution to the conflict. just days after the pullout of u.s. troops the iraqi government plunges deeper into political crisis following a bombing wave that claimed more than seventy lives prime minister nouri al maliki

a shiite has called for his sunni deputies luck to be sacked the u.s. administration insists it left behind a stable country nine years after launching the invasion. and big brother is coming and you could be in your british taxi human rights activists fight a surgeon surveillance cameras which are known to be installed in every taxi in the city of oxford recording not just video but audio as well authorities insist that the risk of personal intrusion it is acceptable compared to the public safety benefits. those are the headlines coming up next a special new year's edition of technology update don't go away.

hello and welcome to technology update as you can see from the decorations at the department store. it's that time of year again now this artificial tree. of my childhood new materials are replacing natural and traditional right and that's especially true with carbon fibers which are increasingly finding their way into gadgets and playthings. actually been around for decades. and cars. and here are a refurbished car plant. to check out the opening of. the plant is expected to become the country's.

overall global tendency. or both indicative of the fact that in the near future possibly in a matter of a few years the demand for these materials. may bring about changes to the entire global economic system we are talking about millions of. soon as this breakthrough that is to say quantum leap occurs it will mean a revolution in technology a new world and russia must be prepared for it. get to the carbon. first we have to make. which looks like. there are several ways to go basically are mixed with the.

strength is produced with the help of.

our threads are made. by oxygen molecules from the air. they're put through to furnish most of their non carbon. depending on their intended use they're either carbonized or. carbon content. each fiber is. percent carbon. carbon. there's a few more steps to go and that takes us back to the production facilities here at . the carbon fibers. a whole new production line is outfitted with three. number one will be able to churn out six hundred kilograms of text.

will produce an additional one hundred thirty kilos a day by two thousand and fifteen this factory could produce two thousand. subject to. the world standard for materials is to sixty to seventy. sixty to seventy thousand various samples for different kinds of tests designed to check a full range of the materials properties. those textiles can find their way technology . in the fabrics are turned into what are called which stands for impregnated material they're basically the last intermediate phase before they're ready to be

used in a whole host of things in this so called stage specialized equipment precisely introduces the. position. to the right thing. to be shipped to. china are no doubt attractive markets but nonetheless we mainly focus on russia we monitor external markets for benchmarking purposes such as to work out the pricing or to compare technologies in order to be able to produce a competitive product. tell

you. early.

if you. had to come here. to produce.

the institute manufactures its own uranium targets and. the facilities here have been turning out over a quarter of a century supplying to just about all of the isotopes that the countries needed up until very recently the institute has produced ninety nine percent of them used in the russian market given the fact that we're essentially dealing with highly enriched uranium there are extremely limited number of places can be produced. we started producing. after that. physics and. production. as it reached the end of its service to.

commercial producers the. current supply production is dominated by just a handful of reactors the two largest account for over sixty percent of global demand those two reactors are both over fifty years old and beyond their intended service life when they're eventually decommissioned new suppliers will have to be found several alternatives are being explored including one in russia. especially for isotopes. takes us to where a new look production has been set up late last year a company called isotopes began pumping out the radio at the research institute of atomic reactors not yet up to full capacity is already started deliveries to clients like one of the world's leading isotope provide. ensuring reliable

deliveries of molybdenum is so important because it accounts for over eighty percent of all nuclear medicine operations worldwide and here and grad such a vital issue required a new solution. this technology has not been reworked in the chemical sense but in terms of the equipment and in this regard it's a new technology not available anywhere else as far as i'm aware and at the moment we're currently at the production. after the targets are cooled transported to hot cells for processing that involves dissolving the whole target in a chemical solution solid residues are filtered out and is extracted using sailing ammonium hydroxide here new technology saves time which is important because every hour after irrigation about one percent of the isotope is lost to radioactive decay . our production target is eight hundred units

today we produced one hundred sixty there was a shipment yesterday that's the first phase of our production at the same time we continue working on the second stage and expected to reach its design capacity in two thousand and twelve. the output target here is very high about two thousand four hundred juries per week. overall demand is estimated at one hundred. production ramps up doctors should have they need to perform life saving diagnostics. but in addition to. also be used in medical centers like this to cure what. are some medical conditions the radiation by these isotopes can be harnessed to destroy weaken malfunctioning cells just like in diagnosis by choosing the appropriate isotopes radio.

thirty one can be taken. up with christmas presents and with presents comes trash in many countries much of it just. piles up people are increasingly looking for alternatives. to dispose of trash. and. they also.

produce. something we. as of today. having reached there. has been an alternative. but they also haven't been without their problems. created over the latest generation. three hundred. every day.

it produces much more energy. which means. eight hundred fifty degrees.

which is between. the main difficulty. required for. needed to be made of material. and such materials. we developed. before. searching.

pretty quickly.

with electricity. because. they could.

the first. year is always a good time to reflect on what we've done in the past twelve months as well as what we hope to accomplish in the next. like those that recently took part in the for. the most important part of the. eight hundred. thirty took part in the competition.

was recognized by the judging committee. thank you very much. we decided to pay the visit and see what he's been working on first we checked out his project which is already. technology. and the right mix. between.

in the west the use of. less harsh than methods involving physical impact. all these methods have several major downsides such as high a material costs production costs and difficulties. we have managed to develop solutions for all of these issues. domestic materials which can be easily produced in any of russia's regions only traditional. mixes water with the abrasive at the very beginning this is to take advantage of something called the. twenty eight the soviet scientists. can be broken down easily when they come into contact with an act of liquid water with this compressed air is used to accelerate the mixture to the speed of. the buildup

we want to get rid of. is completely encased by. the size of the abrasive. and what we want to get rid of the unique things here contact . works its way into the pores of the build up has the benefit of penetrating and weakening the structure of the target. particularly harmful effect the abrasive has on the underlying surface. invention as well as production units have gone through the complete process from an idea to the project we started with design then produced prototypes through the paints and. then we produced a pilot batch of three units we made the manually. by the time we go to. commercial production. innovative product. and there's apparently no shortage of interested customers especially in the energy. power plants like these serious

build up on important parts can eat into the energy efficiency as well as increase the chance of an accident but moving from cleaning power plants to what we do with electricity is the topic of alexander's most recent creation. for a new portable device. tablets laptops is going to be used on travel on trains planes. and users will no longer have to depend on having an electric around or remembering to take the relevant cord with them it will be in the past i think a major potential. possibly. because switching to producing. is a big competitive advantage on the market. and that's not something that's been

lost on many of the world's top makers a good number of them. there are already a decent number of so-called wireless charges on the market however at present all of them still require you to place your device on a charging pad and you need a separate charger. they give you a bit more freedom but our phones are still tied directly to some kind of plugged in charger. there is a number of issues around this solution among them the impact on human health. devices in the vicinity the most important thing here is that we've succeeded in bringing these devices efficiency up to a very high level about eighty five percent and that's not the only thing alexander thinks his charger over the competition it can theoretically work with. but most importantly prototype battery anywhere around the charger not just on a pad unlike with the others. effectively up to thirty centimeters away from the

base of this device uses the principle of the tesla coil it has the energy producing coral installed inside the mobile device. is equipped with a receiver designed as a stick and stick it we have developed a special feed circuits for the coil which use a very high efficiency facts about eighty five percent of this is achieved through the use of a switch mode power supply unit or the coil in other words while any inductive system goes through the oscillation build up phase in order to build up the energy production in our device but there is no buildup as such we start of the process just once and it exonerates through induction we only given hansing impulses once in a while. and your device is still in the project stage what more do you need to do to bring it to the market. to start commercial production of this device we need to

meet three requirements first we need to complete the prototype and run it through all the necessary tests then make all necessary improvements and changes and produce a pilot batch because a. second we need to have all the patients registered and third we need to set up a technology company in accordance with international standards. within that wireless charger could hit the market sometime soon and we hope that it and the other developments we've showed you today make the future seem well just a little brighter so we'll see you next time and until then enjoy the ride.
