1:30 am
first takes us to an institute that's in the heart of the famed academic cluster. institute of nuclear physics is one of the world's leading research centers in its field but here it's not just experiments they're interested in they also design some of the most complex instruments used in particle physics research now most of us are familiar with adam smashers but here they're working on an extremely important. piece of equipment and electron cooler the technology behind this beast was pioneered back in the one nine hundred sixty s. by the man whose name graces the facade of this institute given the growing power range that modern particle accelerators are capable of the beam needs to be in order to increase its effectiveness.
1:31 am
and. particles. from. the first.
1:32 am
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 coolant will be installed at the centers institute of nuclear physics cosey synchrotron there a sprawling complex elementary particles will be accelerated whipped around the synchrotron and smashed together for scientists to study and those efforts will be helped by the addition of novosibirsk school or. what we get. or. the mentions.
1:33 am
so once the final touches have been applied. to hopefully groundbreaking experiments the collaboration here with the germans is just a part of a wider 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. quarks generating. and for one of these. half a billion dollars at a new complex main objective. is to increase the installations efficiency to the power of three by
1:34 am
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. and from this room nuclear physicists can control and monitor the activities of the existing injector complex which creates the subatomic particles.
1:35 am
already. electrons.
1:36 am
accumulated. positronic celebrator will be located in this tunnel. it will take up this entire mostly empty space so it won't look as if there is now. or will raise the electrons and positrons energy to the level required for the super chom tower factory and
1:37 am
then at the end of the tunnel the particles will get injected into the main ring of the collider. to 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 a large hall equipped with the detector. a special building will be built above the detector it will include the control room and the detector support systems of
1:38 am
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's 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. ever since. it's been expanding. under construction this. is the latest chapter. to encourage science in the
1:39 am
region recently. governments decided to use that history to create. strong scientific basis. for the newest high tech. companies. that they need. for. creating special. facilities that have been specifically adapted for the. next generation. as you see here
1:40 am
a traditional. few feet. and right now. the company is pushing that technology one step further. and in some cases. the development to measure temperature along it. optical fiber can act as a signal. it can be very canonical effective through the more our senses 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
1:41 am
senses your butt off the bed and. the mission. in this room are developing and researching are distributed fiber sensor systems we're currently at the final testing stage it's important for us to understand what the maximum distance is of which we can monitor the temperature and what resolution we can get during crease the distance here in the lab we use these spools of fiber 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 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
1:42 am
results on the screen there are three charts the first one shows data from the signals coming in. this second the calculated temperature. and the third is the relationship between temperatures and. here on the screen we can already see some kind of peak right the peak is 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 to fire to employees or norms to prep the optic fibers for detection a method called bragg grading is employed this involves a laser i ching a pattern 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 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
1:43 am
could be used to relay an ever growing amount of data helping us better monitor conditions remotely and same. if you. are under constant attack. or favor. there are potential to do long term harm. in terms of. for example. the potential. is huge. everywhere.
1:44 am
different places. people. with situations. which is something. that we had. in the past. but that's not the case. best defenses against those pesky. first. removed.
1:45 am
and placed to make installation ease. here. but often simply catching the particles isn't enough to significantly reduce the risk of infection in hospitals life threatening michael organisms have to be destroyed and for that employs a multi-stage system against those harmful particles this is a crude filter which removes the big. this is the ionization generation this is the fine perfectly. capable of capturing particles that are already iron and finally this is the absorption and catalytic. pollutants. in other words. we have the ventilator the blues are at the clean air but to better understand this let's break it down a little more after the particle filled air passes the simple pre-filter there electrodes are bombarded with a ten kilowatt charge this charge comes in handy later when the particles stick to
1:46 am
polypropylene fibers becomes a static electricity but the charge also splits 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. in their testing lab you can see that the air blowing out of the filter is free from all those that were there. so whether it be in coffee shops or operating rooms technology make sure that the air we breathe is clean as possible. of years academic cluster you're never much more than a short walk away from the forest along the way you can run into all kinds of people engineers. fitted with the latest military hardware.
1:47 am
just dress the part to show off the latest thermal weapon site at the institute of sydney conductor physics. now we'll try to locate the three fighters with sniper rifles who have hidden themselves. 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. hiding behind a tree. with the forest in the background be hard to spot him even if the visibility were normal.
1:48 am
on the other side of his and. i can just see the edge of his face and hood. the third one of the. construction. of a dark room with a metal grating. so we found all three fires 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 . it gives us a very large optical bond with. two times more energy efficient. it can run for four hours with only four. three watts of energy.
1:49 am
potential bad guys with such easy work. because of the powerful image processor within the site. is still produces image quality. from a site computing power is packed on to 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. a frequency of five hundred. programmable is comparable to a chip from a. it has several dozen megabytes of memory. such a small package but this isn't the limit of what we can do and we're already
1:50 am
looking into how it can be made. traditionally. had to employ cooling but that made them both 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 in terms of the range. averaging the whole spectrum. in such a way that the signal coming from long distances. from short distances. drastically. respect to be able to put such camera phones in fifteen years in affordable mobile phones of course. in terms of image quality. they're close to expensive. so despite its small size and lightweight these sites
1:51 am
allow us to see things previously. 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. the team has to collaborate together to take it from. the finished product 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
1:52 am
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. cold 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. number two on the i pad app store list of games with each new version in the montezuma series the
1:53 am
developers have to give players a reason to pony up the cash. just one and that's what seems to drive 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 of the windows phone seven platform scold from frenzy to. it was a pleasure to see that the game immediately shot to the top 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 loads because it's a new plant from and does not yet enough information as to how much for example 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
1:54 am
a simpler life on the farm but whatever the reason the farming games like this prove to be a big success but nowadays it's not enough to release a game on just one platform you have to come 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 prospective audience the possibilities and the costs 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 game bandwagon despite all the. devices it's important to put them. in the
1:55 am
real world around us but in ways. technology will see you next time. a soulless substance. came a touch like a well trained army. villages in ruins. for a thailand where time stands still. all becomes a sea of nothingness. the mysterious sounds of russia on our t.v. . discovery

. communicate with you want to. test yourself and become free.
1:58 am
see what nature can give you. serious divided opposition groups argue over who represents the voice of the people what opinions clash at the u.n. security council with a new resolution against syria drawing harsh criticism from russia. thousands of angry protesters in warsaw cry out against an international online piracy act claiming it targets the basic rights of internet users. the e.u. takes yet another pounding this time with credit rating fitch downgrading five more european nations even as its leaders try to soothe concerns that will be comic
1:59 am
forum in davos. and welcome to our team around the company's. russia as opposed to new arab european draft resolution on syria saying it can't be used as a basis for resolving the crisis the country's ambassador to the u.n. says moscow will carry on searching for ways to end bottoms there. has been following the latest meeting at the u.n. security council in new york. there has been a lot of discussion taking place primarily because a european arab draft resolution was circulated to the u.n. security council members in which it calls for the syrian president bashar al assad to transfer.
