seven labs carrying out pioneering research in particle physics. and this is where the magic happens hidden away behind these radiation proof doors lies a hive of innovation and the home of neutron technologies which was founded in part by the nuclear research institute the explosive and narcotics detectors produced here are used in airports train stations as well as by the russian security services one of the latest developments is this mobile detector for use in the field the device can identify the chemical make up of any objects located in anything from a cardboard box so to thirty centimeters of solid concrete all of which is thanks to the compact neutral and it's inside. this is the heart of our unit the neutron accelerator was it's only thirty centimeters tall and weighs only eight kilograms which is a dramatic reduction compared to last centuries accelerators which were six stories tall yet it generates the same number of neutrons fifty million a second and on top of that it has a built in alpha detector. which allows us to track the tag. see how much progress
1:30 pm
has been made thanks to the research and development of the past fifty years before me but not. the main components of the device or the neutron generator alpha detector tritium targets and gamma detector the device works by emitting to try and particles when the future one hits the tritium could be misplaced into alpha neutron particles the neutrons penetrate the objects in question while the alpha detector is responsible for determining the location of any dangerous substances the neutrons excited nuclei of the atoms they hit causing them to give off gamma rays which are then to detect since the energy of the camera is unique to each element which allows the substance to be determined based on its elemental composition this method offers many advantages over x. rays which can misidentify system and guess the tests which don't receive objects the laser grid on the front of the detected. corresponds with
1:31 pm
a neutron teams allowing you to target the object computer ten process is the information received by the detector and identifies any potentially hazardous materials on their location. in addition to the mobile detector the company has designed a device for inspecting vehicles another for shipping containers and an underwater device for examining unexploded torpedoes and mines all of the detectors can identifiable to thirty types of explosives and be operated at a safe distance while a computer program takes care of the number crunching to get to the bottom of the matter that's way over two hundred thousand dollars the devices don't come cheap so who better to foot the bill than russian diamond joints rosa which is having problems of its own them but this unit has been set up to see whether we can detect a large valuable diamond within a lump of kimberlite without having to crush off. if there was a large diameter of the or was ground down the first the way it usually is the shattered diamond loses a lot of its value so if we were able to detect
1:32 pm
a large valuable diamonds in the or it would offer a really good return on investment since such large diamonds are quite rare very lucrative. following the request of the scientists settle face rick to see if their technology could be applied to the diamond industry then sent fifty kilograms of kimberlite rock samples which is the best source of priming times for the company to try out its detection system after hours of testing neutron technologies finally struck gold story diamond the next step is for the detect to be upscaled so it can pick up the rocks containing larger diamonds on the conveyor before the destroyed. this video because all is for bad use we can work with we did indeed find diamonds inside the door and we're planning to continue testing this method next year and then to make improvements to the detecting device in cooperation with neutron technologies what are the people who are born human we're planning to use the.
1:33 pm
method for the detection of large diamonds in the kimberlite extracted from the mirror and internet. will be focusing on the largest size segment five carrots and. the theory of using this technology has been proven. says the practical side of implementing it on an industrial scale neutron technologist can reduce the time it takes to take diamonds i'm sure the companies will have a bright future together not only will it lead to increased profits and open up a whole new market for neutron technologies but also puts a smile in the face of many this is a place of wonder and beauty rolling hills in los forests and as you just seen there are many treasures hidden out of reach but you don't always need explosives to get them. brains overbroad. the liquid gold that makes the world go around without it we would grind to a slow and painful holds fortunately oil supply on depleted quite yet but the bad
1:34 pm
news is that easily extractable sources all running out so we demand for oil higher than ever engineers have been forced to look for new ways to get to the black store and keep the world spinning on its axis oil and gas deposits can be located on to anything from less of something clay to solid rocks like granites them vassall to so all companies need to drill that can make short work of anything that gets in its way there are currently three main types of drill bit the tricorn drill which is made up of three spikes roll it's the fixed cutter which often has diamond edges and works by scraping away the rock below and the turbo job which spins much faster than the other two and requires less downward force unfortunately diamonds on forever and all the drill bits wear out and have to be replaced which can be both costly and time consuming this combined with the increasingly complex nature of drilling means that traditional methods are being pushed to the limits. the institutes of high technology physics in thomas has a laboratory that specializes in. blasting through solid rock with high powered
1:35 pm
electrical sparks the first experiments were conducted way back in the sixty's when the theory of using electrical pulses to kill three blocks was tested the results were impressive but the technology the time did not allow for the idea to take in perth that now the university has a prototype device the office many advantages over traditional training methods over soko work and we looked through the advantage of the high voltage electrical impulse method is that we use the bore bits made of ordinary steel while and yet the model we don't use any alloy great or diamond our spark or discharge method makes these very expensive materials redundant. and this is how it works a generator produces the electricity which is then stored in the passages and that's the drill the drill bit itself has one electrode in the sensor surrounded by in a rate above the electrodes when they come into contact with the ball the potential difference between them it's a powerful spot which troubles through the rock bottom like
1:36 pm
a micro explosion causing bits to break away the dead piece then carried back to the surface with a liquid pump the size of the points can be controlled by adjusting the distance between the electrodes the drills ability to make short work of solid blocks even joint attention from this overall net of the field with the. norwegian companies like oil the tunnel construction firm. you know the drill and from the university of trondheim have supported our work in developing this new technology akin to what we have supplied them with a submersible high voltage impulse generator with which to drill an experimental well in granite rock so that we can investigate the potential of this technology in the field you know will you if they. are devices of great interest to total engineers and of course great interest to oil companies whose possible would. the
1:37 pm
potential of mechanical drilling methods to feed either with diamond heads or with roller bits has been almost fully exhausted. and this is why every company is now looking for a new method nor a new technology to ensure a fast boring speed especially through hard rocks like granite him in. the drilling speed is determined by the size of the fragments produced so in general the bigger the better however if the phones become too large the system may have trouble removing them from the hole by controlling the energy produced by the generator the distance between the electrodes and frequency of the electric pulses the ultimate speed can be achieved so who knows if more major oil plays see the benefits of this technology we may soon have the bright spots in tom's to thank for keeping the world in motion. just the end of the first half so don't reach the remote see you after the break.
1:38 pm
exactly what happened that day i don't know but a woman got killed. piers later is when i got arrested for. for a crime i did not do. we have numerous cases where police officers lie about polygraph results. innocent people to confront the police officers don't beat people anymore i mean it just doesn't happen really. in the course of interrogation why because there's been this is like meant no because the psychological techniques are more effective in obtaining confessions than physical abuse and they were they could get what they wanted they can say what they wanted and there was no evidence of what they did or what they said.

specialty and even used to help the curiosity rover. looking. although i would describe myself as a fan of extreme sports i have always wanted to try parachuting was having witnessed this unlucky car she's take a hard landing i started to have second thoughts. back to the drawing board for the parachute of the scientific research institute of. moscow founded in one thousand nine hundred forty six the institute is part of aviation. which is the main producer of partially. it is one of only a few companies in the world the full range of development. institutes research development and production. we were lucky enough to touch with one of the research institutes testers. of
1:45 pm
course. field we have all the right conditions flat surface and things like that in reality those soldiers have to land on various different terrain you but them and they'll have to have time to maneuver so that they can land safely and it was a partnership is in the ability to maneuver people and the horizontal speed of a parachute are of paramount importance for descending and of course especially for landing is and he also will be seen in the top condition is a partially tough to jump in not to mention all the equipment they carry i mean it's a special approach has to be taken when designing parachutes for use by the military today the design institute was testing one of its latest developments the detail beastie the twelve is their latest tactical assault harsher produced by the russian airborne troops the least to still be subject to precarious testing but is expected to enter into service by the end of the year it's capable of carrying up to one hundred sixty kilograms at the speed of four point five new to the second the spare parts should be stored in the body leaving room for detachable it didn't pertain at
1:46 pm
the front which helped take some of the weight off when landing we went back to moscow to learn about the evolution and benefits of this harsh. gives you an idea the evolution of the parachute design over the decades they have been used in the army. here's the six model developed in the soviet union in the mid seventy's. basically featured a circular canopy with steering vents and the top of it in a panic. because the shape of a hemisphere in profile thanks to the course. with the new developments in the aviation industry and the increased need for a mess of it drops we had to invent a new design and we could deal with midair collisions better between parachutes and that's how the detainee chute emerged to the group with one of the industry continue to push book even heavier capacity better maneuverability and improved
1:47 pm
safety when landing in their east. used to be. the only requirement was to keep the same size and weight to shoot a few minute will be here. almost your body to hold. it is a. delta d twelve has proven to be the perfect solution thanks to its unique design and canopy shape and the fact that it's this angle that pushes the chute forward in the. war with. the ship if the tests prove to be successful this new model will replace the previous generation of parachute will be fewer of them you know with. the institute uses the latest in computer design and modeling technologies in addition to the least the institute has made over five thousand different partially types one thousand of which are ventured into mass production they range from anti spinning cargo sheets to low altitude invest you power shoots some of them have an area of up to three hundred seventy five meters squared and
1:48 pm
you carry up to twenty tons. i am doubt the computer design is then sent to this factory to be turned into reality. in addition to this production facility the institute also has researched engineering and technology schools over generations the institute has accumulated a wealth of knowledge and expertise which allows it to create such a diverse range of parachutes advances in materials mean how ships can be more composites bonjour will have a in addition we used new materials in parachute construction but in the past its parachutes were made from nylon fabric no we use more modern materials so all this has enabled us to reach our goals of the city. with this knowledge we return to the airfield in moscow i'm told hey jumps up to twenty times a week and it's good of talking down to a t. he can do it in around ten minutes when he's not being distracted by technology they present my experience of the parts you constituents and their abroad columb
1:49 pm
not restored my faith in the safety of the. sports and who knows maybe next time i'll be joining these guys in the not too distant future there are estimates of four million cars in moscow alone which not only has a negative impact on the capsule's roads but also produces huge amounts of waste tires every year but luckily one washing company has a knack for killing two birds with one stone. on something the line. push is scorching summers and bitterly cold winters take a heavy toll on the country's road this along with the millions of cars and each tv's that pound the surface every day i mean the road repairs and replacements are a constant struggle not only to potholes and trucks represent a hazard to drivers but they're also a burden on the government's budget so the need to find a type of road service cake full of better withstanding the daily because of moscow's traffic and weather is pretty clear that's why scientists have been experimented with different ways of modifying both services and testing them with this mobile lab one of the most promising technologies involves mixing old tires into the else fold mixture. the practice of using rubberized asphalt was pioneered
1:50 pm
in arizona in the mid one nine hundred sixty s. with limited success while the rubberized road service offered a number of advantages over previous technologies the relatively large chunks of rubber and gravel used were prone to coming loose and damaging cars so the project was abundant in one nine hundred eighty nine. it always starts with old non-recyclable car tires go by leaving them all around the place people do harm to the environment the problem is you can't burn these ties put them in landfill sites traditionally this kind of waste his main used in construction all road building so me would you. be cycling technology mean that their own more and more large scale uses for all tires this type of processing putting check of is responsible for recycling some of the estimated one hundred twenty five thousand tonnes of worn out tires discarded by the capitol every year old size of first shredded and then the fiber and steel components are separated and sent for further processing. the
1:51 pm
remaining were is think ground down to produce tire chrome which can then be used to produce even more tie is create safe playground services as well as a whole range of other applications one of the biggest consumers of type from however if you recall which specializes in producing a super fine but powder for use in broken struction unique parts of nano technology company bust nano podolski is way unique and carries out much piece wrote surface research here the stuff child various combinations and ratios of materials to trying to attain the ideal road surface in general roads are made up of gravel and sun although pitchman has been successfully used in roads for almost two centuries there is still room for improvement and this is where unicom stands out from the rest. unicom which stands for universal competent materials produces a fine powder the beats anything else in the markets hands down. some would say you can take any rubber powder. but that's not true so what you need to make it
1:52 pm
work is a physical and chemical reaction between the big human and whatever powder you have and what is the extent to which the powder reacts is determined by the area of the powder in contact with the bitumen you were pushing. the the wall despite being very fine the more tired from lax the surface area completely with the pitchmen still improves the road surface the full potential the robot has not been a lot the cauliflower like surface of the nano part of produced by unicom means that just one gram of it has a surface area of up to five thousand sets me to square it. however none of this would be possible were it not for the work of the team nikolski of the simeon of institutes of chemical physics in moscow the team discovered even to his own surprise it is certain temperatures proper and plastics substances can be ground down to a very fine powder which led to the development of this machine. we are the only
1:53 pm
ones in the world to use the dry method if we take the mix for making mixed asphalt concrete with. put the required amount of tire powder in it. this method. amounts of time. before the invention of the shear in juice grinding machine builders had to use the so-called wet method of adding the robot to the pitchman this involved heating the mixture full day which is what is required excessive amounts of energy and time to cause the bitch many cells to deteriorate it's no wonder then that other countries are trying to follow suit which with around fifty eight and somebody machine it might take them a while. for to despite our best efforts machine a parts to the studio show you exactly how it works. and here it is. now
1:54 pm
the only main difference to an industrial version the prototype is the size the principle is exactly the same two finals at either end and archimedes screen compression zone and cooling section the old shredded ties are fed into this funnel the screw then pushes them towards the stock but as more and more bits of tire build up the pressure increases the friction created cause the temps its rise to about one hundred seventy five degrees c. at which point the tie begins to disintegrate and see through the tiny gap between the two sections the fine tire part is think cooled and comes out the front of the end and bob's your uncle the tie is ready to hit the roads the institute in moscow was originally created for studying the processes that occur in nuclear weapons but in one nine hundred fifty eight the specialists working there turned their attention to chemical reactions in creating new synthetic materials but the em studied the properties of these materials and developed instruments for examining their structure the prototype for producing the nano powder was created in one
1:55 pm
thousand nine hundred eighty one and laid the foundation. but today's industrial machines may have been you know we started using these powders very successful floyd but almost this is the positive properties you feel boys. will be feeding the materials you know if you modify the tire i feel like you do feel very stable and you case the structure doesn't change time little tool to play at the moment so like you know if they can be used is decades think you're never properties would remain tracting unchanged. and the benefits don't end there it's also offers better equipped for vehicles reduce noise levels as well as increased resistance to roasting in cracking in addition to all the safety and economic benefits it also provides the perfect solution to the world's growing tide disposal problem but i bet these workers are just glad that they won't have to do this section of road again for another couple of decades i'm afraid that's all for today but with the
1:56 pm
rise asphalt been using creasing throughout the world i'm sure more of you will enjoy the ride. exactly what happened that day i don't know but a woman got killed. piers later is when i got arrested for. her crime i did not do. we have numerous cases where police officers lie about polygraph results. innocent people to confess to police officers don't beat people anymore i mean it just doesn't happen really. in the course of interrogation why because there's been this it lightman no because the psychological techniques are more effective in obtaining confessions than physical abuse and they were often they could do what they want to thank say what they wanted and there was no evidence of
