The situation in Russian science, including personnel changes, we have someone to lean on. In science comes a capable, promising youth, – said Vladimir Putin, handing in the Kremlin awards to young scientists. – We managed to meet a critical objective: to recover the continuity of the research schools, to avoid the risks associated with rupture of scientific generations, referred to by many experts in the early 2000-ies.
Modern science — such a thing that to understand it without long and painstaking preparation, is extremely difficult. But maybe not impossible. In the merit of three young scientists who received Wednesday from the President award, was confused and stumbled journalists, the speaker, declaring their output, and even Vladimir Putin himself made unusually long pauses in speech.
The Yekaterinburg Dmitry Copyprofile the award for “the development of new luminescent and functional materials for molecular devices for various purposes”.
Among the solved applied problems – the creation of instruments to detect ultra-low concentrations of substances, including explosives, – said Putin hall, the speech was obviously prepared in addition. – The use of this technology will help to increase the effectiveness of the fight against terrorism, but as far as I understand, this is not the only application of these developments of these studies. It and new materials, and opportunities to use these developments in other areas, including in medicine.
In particular, thanks to the work Kopchuk managed to create so-called “electronic nose” may be substituted with the explosive detection dog.
Each relies was awarded 2.5 million rubles, a geneticist of Insectivora Catherine Proskynesis journalists that he plans to fix them on the housing situation. Her the prize was awarded “for the development genetics of lifespan and aging”.
– I hope that we will achieve this thanks to all the citizens of our country live not only long, but happily, – Putin joked. And added. – And led an active lifestyle. Without this we cannot achieve in science.
Vladimir Stegailov from Dunipace presidential award “for his work on supercomputer multiscale modeling of materials in extreme conditions”. He offered a solution to the problem of determining the melting temperature of graphite, on which scientists fought more than half a century. Putin is appreciated:
– He together with colleagues has been working on search for completely new possibilities of using new types of nuclear fuel, a very promising and very necessary for the future of energy not only in our country but in the world as a whole.
