4:30 am
the bright lights and credits for snow covered. now this. city is actually a hotbed of russian scientific activity and our first institute that's long been the heart of the region's famed academic cluster. the. nuclear physics. research centers and its field. experiments are interested in. some of the most complex instruments used in particle physics research now most of us are familiar with atoms but here they're working on an extremely important. piece of equipment and. the technology behind this beast was pioneered back in the one nine hundred sixty s. by the man who's name. given the growing power range that modern particle accelerators are capable of. to increase its.
4:31 am
particles. from.
4:32 am
the superior several installations were built for domestic use of institutes and the first installation for exports was for g.s. size which is in germany later two more were both for china one with a capacity of thirty five kilovolts the other with three hundred but this two million electron volts cooler is headed for the ula tree search center in germany the facility is part of a european union sponsored effort to better understand the fundamental hadrons most specifically the electron cooler will be installed at the centers institute of nuclear physics cozy synchrotron at their sprawling complex elementary particles will be accelerated looked around the synchrotron and smashed together for scientists to study and those efforts will be helped by the addition of novosibirsk cooler. and cool. what we get. it means we.
4:33 am
mentioned. so once the final touches have been applied. to hopefully groundbreaking experiments the collaboration here with the germans is just a part of international effort all across the field of particle physics from asia to europe to the u.s. researchers basically have one goal in mind based on the proposition that all matter is made up of tiny particles scientists are keen to smash them to pieces to find the building blocks of our universe. billions of tax. generating loads of new. and for one of these the institute is ready to throw more
4:34 am
than a half billion dollars at a new complex main objective. is to increase the installations efficiency to the power of three by a thousand times to study the decay of particles you have to produce a certain number of them and then observe them so now we want to produce a thousand times more particles than it's now possible at any other installation for the time being though that factory is still a ways away from becoming a reality but that doesn't mean the scientists here are waiting around for that to happen. has already built a new high the accelerator and from this room nuclear physicists can control and monitor all the activities of the existing injector complex which creates the subatomic particles need for new.
4:35 am
already.
4:36 am
electrons. accumulated. head. trauma and positron accelerator will be located in this tunnel. but it will take up this entire mostly empty space so it
4:37 am
won't look as if there is an. excel rater will raise the electrons and positrons energy to the level required for the super john tower factory and then at the end of the tunnel the particles will get injected into the main ring of the collider. so the particles zip down this currently dark passage split into separate electron and positron rings. this total will contain the technical sections of the super factory. where the accelerating super high frequency resonators technical optics and beam diagnostics system will be located. additionally the injections of the electron and positron beams into the collider ring will be performed here as well. this trait of fortune should be continued to form semicircles into the left and right of the semicircle should come together in
4:38 am
a large hall equipped with a detector. a special building will be built above the detector it will include the control room and the detector support systems of course the whole hasn't been finished yet. further financing is required in order to complete this facility. appear by the research taking place at cern and with the large hadron collider on the franco swiss border it's going to take a united global effort to fully understand these fundamental particles and processes and the super charm tao factory plant at the institute should ensure that russia scientists contribute mightily to this ultimate goal but it's more than traditional science here and now with the b.s. just around the corner from the academic. many resident companies are being incorporated in the latest edition. ever since.
4:39 am
it's been expanding. currently under construction this. is the latest chapter of a long effort to encourage science in the region recently the federal government decided to use that history to create. a strong scientific base and academic. for the newest high tech startups the main goal is to help. innovative companies get the running start that they need . technical. technology. for each of these clusters we're creating special. facilities. facilities that have been specifically adapted for the. companies.
4:40 am
that. they're working on the next generation. as you see here a traditional. every few feet. and right now. the company is pushing that technology one step further. and in some cases say for. the development to measure temperature long it. optical fiber can act as a signal. it can be very canonical effective through them or
4:41 am
our sensors are absolutely spark an explosion proof which therefore they can be used in coal mines like you chemical industries and so on where traditional exploring senses are but off the bed and. the portion. in this room are developing and researching our distributed fiber sensor and we're currently at the final testing stage it's important for us to understand what the maximum distance is that which we can monitor the temperature and what resolution we can get during crease the distance here in the lab we use these schools of thought of course this isn't the same fiber that you sold being installed earlier a bundle of this cable would wear around two hundred kilograms and we don't need it since the fiber on the inside is the same as it has here this fiber goes along the wall from one school to another and eventually reaches our device into it so we have about six kilometers of fiber here decision of the fiber we want to affect is
4:42 am
located inside the kettle there's ten meters of fiber here so when we turn the case alone we can observe the water temperature increasing in real time we see process results on the screen there are three charts the first one shows data from the signals coming in. the second the calculated temperature. and the third is the relationship between temperatures and time of that here on the screen we can already see some kind of peak right there because the water temperature inside the kettle we can even see it's in more detail these peaks are processed by a device which then determines whether a fire to employees or not and to prep the optic fibers for detection a method called bragg grading is employed this involves a laser i ching a pattern hunch of the core of the fiber this changes the way impulses travel along the length of the fiber certain wavelengths are reflected back to the impulse
4:43 am
source others continue along this allows us to get specific data from every section of the fiber and this does it much faster than traditional detectors fibers like this could be used to relay an ever growing amount of data helping us better monitor conditions remotely and same. if you live in a metropolitan area chances are under constant attack. there are potential to do long term harm. in terms of. for example.
4:44 am
the potential for filters is huge. well everywhere. different places. people eat. devices. which situations. which is something. that we had. in the past. but that's. best defenses against those pesky.
4:45 am
first. removed. and placed to make installation these. here. but often simply catching the particles isn't enough to significantly reduce the risk of infection in hospitals life threatening micro organisms have to be destroyed and for that employs a multi-stage system against those harmful particles this is the crude filter which removes the big particles. station and generation this is the fine perfectly. capable of capturing particles that are already iron and finally this is the absorption and consulates of. pollutants. in other words. we have the ventilator the blues are at the clean air but to better understand this
4:46 am
let's break it down a little more after the particle filled air passes the simple pre-filter there electrodes are bombarded with a tin kilowatt charge this charge comes in handy later when the particles stick to polypropylene fibers becomes a static electricity but the charge of oxygen molecules creating ozone using something called the corona discharge method the resulting rich oxygen environment is toxic to all the little bacteria viruses and fung which means this filter does more than simply get rid of simple dust and dirt given that it can be a matter of life and death at hospitals to make sure that the particles and. here in their testing lab you can see that the blowing out of the filter is free from all those. so whether it be in coffee shops or operating rooms technology make sure that the air we breathe is clean as possible. academic classes are
4:47 am
never much more than a short walk away from the siberian forest along the way you can run into all kinds of people. fitted with the latest military hardware. these are. just dress the part to show off the latest thermal weapon site at the institute of sydney conduct of physics. now we'll try to locate the three fighters with sniper rifles who have hidden themselves in there somewhere here in this forest. ordinary camouflage as you can see we can spot any of them with just the naked eye. i'm trying to find that. you. can monitor the process at the same time on the screen.
4:48 am
hiding behind a tree. with the forest in the background and be hard to spot him even if the visibility were normal. on the other side of a small man and. i can just see the edge of his face and hood. the third one a little construction. of a dark room with a metal grating. so we found all three fighters it's hard to hide from a thermal. in terms of image processing i believe we are the leaders. we use a powerful processor that we've developed. it's based on very promising technology . because it gives us a very large optical bond with two times more energy efficient. it
4:49 am
can run for four hours with only four double a batteries consuming three watts of energy. potential bad guys with such easy work. because of the powerful image processor within the site. it still produces image quality. computing power is packed onto a series of. skilled. never ending maze of. plastic. but it's a thing of computing. trying to obtain as much functionality as we could while keeping it possible we have a microprocessor. frequency of five hundred. the programmable is comparable to a chip from. it has several dozen megabytes of memory. such
4:50 am
a small package but this isn't the limit of what we can do and we're already looking into how it can be made. traditionally. had to employ cooling but that made them both here and far more expensive but thanks to recent advances those from the institute of semiconductor physics can offer us the best of both worlds. we figured out. how to distribute power in terms of the range. averaging spectrum. in such a way that the signal coming from long distances. from short distances. drastically. respect to be able to put such cameras in mobile phones in fifteen
4:51 am
years in affordable mobile phones of course. terms of image quality. they're close to expensive. so despite its small size and light weight these new sites allow us to see things previously impasse. such devices whether we're looking straight into the sun or trying to spot something on the waterfront that's no problem for soldiers equipped with these sights designed and manufactured right here in siberia but if time is the only thing you need to kill there's one company that makes waiting for you. a little more enjoyable. entertainment russian game designers and artists are hard at work to distract you from. the games may seem simple compared to blockbusters like quake and modern warfare. required for these casual games is often overlooked a dedicated team has to collaborate together to take it from. the finished product
4:52 am
and that's precisely what. as a result of their hard work they're by far the largest and most successful gaming company. and based on what they've done lately they can clearly compete with the best. but they found that with accolades and. growing considerations. kind of financial resources that you work with at the beginning and what kind now. thousands one could spend something like ten thousand dollars or even less to make a game that's completely competitive. today to make a game that would be his in its. casual games we don't speaking about major bosses in the whole game. one has to spend in excess of hundreds of thousands of dollars. and that's true for one of the biggest titles the treasures of montezuma has proved so popular among casual gamers that it's already.
4:53 am
number two on the i pad app store list of games with each new version in the montezuma series the developers have to give players a reason to pony up the cash for the. just one and that's what seems to be increasing costs as you can see it takes more than a few clicks of the mouse to make an idea for a new game come to life and that's something that makes success even more satisfying for these developers. actually just this last december we released our first game on the windows phone seven platform scold from frenzy to. it was a pleasure to see that the game immediately shot to the telephone of the us marketplace it was the fifth most popular on that lists unfortunately i'm not ready to brag about any specific figures in terms of don't. because it's a new plant from and does not yet enough information as to how much for example
4:54 am
fools play is sealed in a day week month regardless the fact itself of being in the top list is rather nice . maybe it's because many of us yearn for a simpler life on the farm but whatever the reason farming games like this proved to be a big success but nowadays it's not enough to release a game on just one platform you have to cover them to have a chance at a hit. where planning to develop and trade more and more new titles and put them out and more and more new platforms not only for p.c.'s but also for. max possibly sony playstation three your portable consoles. the launch of the perspective audience the possibilities on the coasts are not as high as they used to be. so with companies like around it's safe to say that sites like this are only going to become more common but it's no longer just teenagers and twenty somethings from middle age to retirees nearly everyone is getting in on the casual
4:55 am
game bandwagon despite all the. vices it's important to put. the real world around us but in ways. technology will do next time.
4:56 am
4:57 am
you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so for like sleep you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm trying hard to the big picture.
4:58 am
shocking revelations in an already troubled post gadhafi libya as human rights groups accuse the military of torturing detainees to death. activists are back on the streets of poland to protest against the government's signing of a low key international anti-piracy pact they say will result in internet censorship. and iran considers banning oil sales to gear up ahead of the e.u. decision to stop importing crude from the country in july but tehran says it's ready for negotiations over its nuclear program.
