. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear sees some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom welcome to the big picture.

hello and welcome to technology update despite our five senses not everything is quite what meets the eye this episode looks to shed some light on devices they give us a glimpse i was hiding just out of sight. remember the earth was the center of the universe until copernicus and galileo came along man's origins were unknown before darwin changed everything and the notion that there was something smaller than an atom was nearly unthinkable until ernest rutherford. even today the quest to gaze beneath the surface just goes on and on. recently we took a peek through the glass walls of school cause hypercube where many of russia's up and coming innovators had gathered to attend the annual prize award ceremony the competition sifted through roughly fifteen hundred clever ideas all looking to come home with one of the five top honors winners were crowned for the top i.t. project the leading innovation for helping society as well as a trio for best idea project and production ready invention but.

the country's. competitors. police say.

evildoers. sniffer dogs have been used for this purpose for. their great explosives. but they have. a dog. thirty minutes before rest.

it can only signal that something is there. to the explosive. very often putting their own lives at risk. every dog is different. in the.

field the spectrometers can identify what. compounds the ones in the system so far have been selected for their usefulness in the field the both of us here. can add. many of those have one significant. active substance. same principle in mind but then.

any kind of substance actually. now it's a portable device an added new functionality to enable operators to use it effectively in the failed. so far these developers have delivered more than two hundred. at the moment they're under. cation with russia's interior ministry if they get the all clear orders from the country's biggest security agencies could . potential terrorists only think we ought to worry about but in reality the most dangerous things might be hiding in the. region to take a closer look at the make up of the. state physics scientists have. technology update hope would help us get to the bottom of some of the. secrets

and discovering. untrained mind. was the best way to get the answers that we were looking for. now in theory there's a wide array of potential. benefits and shortcomings. and expensive. spectrometry which also carries a pretty hefty price. spectroscope expensive complex. excludes samples. limited and require extensive training in many cases spectroscopy is the best just not for investigating. a coloring agent. luminescence

spectrum is too intense for us to observe any individual molecule vibrations that we would usually need to register in order to identify the composition of the substance in question in short the spectrum of the coloring agent makes it impossible to observe any spectra of the combinational scattering which would be otherwise visible. but just because our idea was less than successful doesn't mean that there inspector are five thirty two as it's called on the market can't perform a litany of other tests to help massage my wounded pride maksim here show that a soda free from colorings heals the results we were looking for the three main peaks correspond to water sugar in situ acid thank you. well this device can be used for nonscientific purposes but he's for practical tasks as for example in the analysis of gemstones it's always interesting to know what impurities the gemstone has because they help us to find out more about the stone itself to identify its

origin. it sheaves this by creating and investigating what's called the scattering correctly to the laser beam hits the molecules they become excited and begin to vibrate that scatters or refracts the laser light had a slightly altered wavelength the device is internal c.c.d. sensor measures the shift of the wavelength those alterations are then compared against the system's database of rom and shifts in terms of jim it allows anyone operating the inspector five thirty two to tell if they're looking at a fake or something much more precious. one of the achievements we take pride in is the high spatial resolution of devices . this becomes especially apparent when the device is attached to a microscope. with a resolution of around one. you can obtain an individual ion spectrum every square my current of the surface. this enables us to present ourselves as

a major player on the serious scientific research device market. one of our latest achievements is measuring graphing. but only devices such as ours can identify a layer of graphing which is this thin as one atom grows on the substrate material . the inspector team manages all this by employing a thirty make laser that emits a five hundred thirty two nanometer wavelength the c.c.d. sensor is designed to work at room temperature and has been specially designed to suppress other physical processes like raleigh scattering that can interfere. that means the resulting analysis is just as accurate as anything else out there on the market and does it in a matter of seconds and it's automatic recognition software alerts us to what's right in front of our noses but a knowable without specialized equipment even at places as idyllic as moscow's

patriarch's pond there are hidden dangers all around and the first set to protecting yourself against his knowing the potential risks. to the plane are actually radioactive particles everywhere they come from the sun space. occurring objects to drive the point home. showed elevated radioactivity from a simple. we can measure the radiation background radiation is pretty los ciro point zero eight but it will gradually go up. the ideal for that extremely compact . was spurred on by the nuclear disaster in fukushima japan while the immediate threats to those in the vicinity were clear right away the experience has left many people concerned about extraordinary and every day radiation. looking for a way to give people more peace of mind this moscow based innovator to work

designing his own smartphone powered. the device can help people better understand the risks that simply aren't visible for example the paint used in this old compass is still radioactive particles that are easily measurable but the right equipment. we already have a whole line of software products and devices for various smart phones. laptops books with varying levels of complexity on the market. and less expensive models more sophisticated versions. but of course the idea of checking radiation levels is far from a new one ever since people understood the risk of radioactivity there's been the trusty but often cumbersome a geiger counter to measure it the device is characteristic clicking sound has long let the user know if the plate of food in front of him or her is safe to eat each

audible click is an incoming radioactive particle being. since its introduction models have become more portable and simply taking that tradition into the future. the next version. which we're calling dr version. we're also working on a totally new generation of the device which will employ. at the moment though those plans are just that plans on paper to make the technological leap the company needs new investments which could be coming in the very near future. the company expects to hear back from. a sizable grant that could give them the resources they need to move those next generation radiation detectors from paper to the production line. the company's anxious to get that going because according to certain estimations there could be a major so. we can see fairly high demand across the

world. especially in southeast asia and japan recently we ordered a marketing research report from a japanese company basically based on very calculations they believe that if these devices were launched on the japanese market today in the first month we would sell around forty to fifty thousand of them over the course of a year sales would total some five hundred thousand. from that point the market would stabilize and show its true capacity. overall. the japanese market is. ready to accept some three to six million devices per year. of well annual global demand. and again this is according to the marketing research report would likely be around ten to fifteen million devices. and as

a wise man once said knowing is half the battle. enables users to note on a unified map where they found increased levels of radiation that could then in theory be used to inform government agencies or interested citizens with a handful of accidents ingrained in our collective memories that information is of concern to people all over the globe presently there are some one hundred seventy five million living within seventy five kilometers of major nuclear reactors of course everyone's hoping for fully safe operations but now your own dosimeter is never more than an arm's length away.

we speak your language. for music programs and documentaries in spanish matters to you breaking news a little tentative angles keep the stories. you hear. the spanish find out more visit eye to eye. hold it. hold it. live. good speech. you.

will. look. like a good. place. to live in a. little not a lot of a little. welcome back to technology update identifying external threats is one thing but no profession is more to gain by piri beneath the surface than medicine with each new advance scientists are leveling the playing field against seemingly unseeable. since we can really only observe the consequences or symptoms of most illnesses

doctors have always had to rely on reading between the lines they can often only narrow in on our ailments by process of elimination on the back of many giant leaps forward in the past century now have a greater arsenal at their disposal. for example they can bombard our bodies with harmless ultrasonic waves showing the image in real time of their high frequency poses are good for monitoring pregnancies as well as blood flow in their radioactive isotopes which allow doctors to target specific organs often to check for cancer magnetic fields have also been mastered to keep an eye on soft tissues like the brain injured tendons but the granddaddy of them all is the x. ray which has been giving doctors a glimpse into our bones and lungs for more than one hundred years. the technique discovered merely by accident has highlighted how gaining new insight into what was previously out of reach these major dividends the technique revolutionized many

diagnosis process with oversize film images becoming a standard sight in hospitals everywhere but that's all in the past digital is the name of the game now armed with nearly instantaneous results doctors can see right away if they successfully snap the needed pic properly. more flexible apparat it make modern day technicians work almost as effortless as clicking a mouse. if we compare the latest x. ray equipment with previous models but of course the first big difference is the ability to refine and archive the images digital age. additionally it's increased the quantity as well as the quantity of diagnoses we perform. and in russia the first word of x. ray technology is a. health expo in moscow recently they showed off their latest wares they produce a range of high tech equipment all of it focused on getting past the barriers that

nature's created. based in st petersburg the company is certainly no newcomer to the russian medical tech scene it was started in the late one nine hundred eighty s. by a team of engineers responsible for the first camera developed in the soviet union over the years and decades electron has slowly but surely improved and expanded the products it offers to the medical profession by the company's calculations it currently accounts for about twenty five percent of the markets in which it operates. at this point one of its main offerings is an entire set of x. ray machinery for doctors that need to get a peek on the inside accuracy in which clarity her utmost importance which requires electron to take certain precautions. so obviously. a couple these are a whole number of test objects that allow us to evaluate farias image parameters like this one which shows us the resolution that is the smallest objects you can

see in a human body for example this test object is a specially made lead plate and has pairs of lines a different intervals within the space of one millimeter judging by how many line pairs we see we can figure out what the smallest element we can x. ray in the human body is there are also these objects that have varying densities which we used to conduct contrast sensitivity checks and there exists a great variety of such tests. in addition to offering traditional simple static snapshots these are equipped with a linear x. ray technology that allows easier. impaired patients and also enables technicians to focus in on one spot in particular by moving the detector along with the x. ray tube linear x. rays minimize background image interference the next generation of technology that's been adopted the world over including a lot of russian hospitals that use it as well is computed to mo graffiti it involves scanning the patient's body to produce some graphic images or slices of

specific areas of the body then these individuals are put together and can be looked at from any number of angles and certain parameters can be measured these cross-sectional images are used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes so that the doctor can get a full picture of the patient's condition but getting that three d. computer. isn't so easy circular only captures an area about twenty five millimeters wide so if the doc needs to check on a large section of the body it can take dozens of spins around. the world over there are really only a handful of companies that are capable of producing equipment like this given the complexity and cost to develop it it should be no great surprise that here electro has teamed up with philips.

this is the first full cycle innovative partnership of its kind in russia initially the russian side provided some fifteen percent of the components for the most part this included things like service aleutians and associated software. but today a contribution has risen to thirty percent and we are in the process of increasing it to as much as fifty percent. in other words we're gradually replacing foreign components with russian made ones. electron is working to bring these new machines to the most remote regions across russia in two thousand and twelve managed to ship out more than five hundred. country. which takes.

what we do here is considered a priority for the leave it is. currently. being developed.

by the ministry of industry and trade. provided a grant to stimulate and implement this project. makes the whole in. such a construction. for one thing by cutting prices. these

are much cheaper to operate. around twenty five dollars per. seventy five to one hundred thousand dollars to the initial price what's more. this kind of m.r.i. machine is very small and hardly called. a space to install it's all a big m.r.i. can take up to forty. hospitals and clinics this is important to totally reconfigure a launch area. currently about halfway to the cutting edge. they've already finished.

the team's effort has been focused on getting a full body helium free m.r.i. scanner ready for production if things go as planned they should have all work on that completed in about two to three years' time. so hopefully the whole tech up team is open your eyes to a world of possibilities once you start looking beyond what's there at first glance but that's all for this revealing edition of technology update we'll see you next time and enjoy the ride. they played in a family jazz band together. hijacked a plane together. most of them from music to tara.

this week's top stories here on r.t.e. terror probe while police investigate the brutal slaying of a british soldier questions are mounting over the u.k.'s foreign policies fueling hate and potentially becoming an inspiration for attacks. in sweden hundreds of masked youths found alive stalls in schools setting cars on fire across the capital in six unprecedented nights of rioting they were reportedly sparked by the police killing of a portuguese immigrant brandishing a knife. and across the u.s. two million a protesting against an agricultural giant sounding the alarm over its genetically modified products saying they're endangering people's health and the environment. and also this week president of.
