Dynamic measurements are measurements of processes that occur so quickly that conventional technical means cannot detect them fully. However, thanks to new innovative technologies used in the Laboratory of Dynamic Measurements, scientists of South Ural State University are able to obtain more accurate information about what can happen during very fast processes. The research work is conducted jointly with the major industrial enterprises of our region.
SUSU scientists have presented and theoretically substantiated a method of optical generation of large‐amplitude Schrödinger cat states (more than 5 states) – a new unique class of non-classical states of the electromagnetic field. Such states can come in handy when performing certain types of quantum calculations, and/or can be used for building precision (quantum) sensors.
May 20th and 21st, South Ural State University hosted the 14th Spring Rhythm Festival of Contemporary Choreography, which was attended by youth teams, creative teams, and individual participants of different ages—from the youngest dancers of 3 years old and up to mixed groups of adult participants.
Ekaterina Galanova, the leader of the project and the head of SUSU Deep Vision dance theatre, welcomed the guests and participants:
Sergei Krylov, a 10th-form pupil of Lyceum No.77, has taken the first places in the Big Challenges and the 21st Century Intellectuals contests for developing a neural network-based method for diagnosing the condition of bearings. The SUSU Laboratory for Self-Validating Sensors, Systems, and Advanced Instrumentation offered equipment for obtaining data on vibration signals from bearings and provided methodological support for the project.
The opening ceremony of the South Urals Professionals of the Future Championship on Technological Strategy will be held in Room 408 (Main University Building) on May 25th starting from 10:00. The teams will be competing in developing solutions to real production problems in two categories: Aerospace, and Transport Technologies.
A project by SUSU scientists to develop the mechanical elements of blades for uninterrupted operation of wind turbines and quadcopters was supported by a grant from the Russian Science Foundation. This will increase the efficiency of quadcopter battery utilization and reduce the cost of wind turbines for emergency shutdown and restart. The neural network being developed on the basis of a control system is designed to fine-tune the operation of the upgraded equipment.
Vladimir Solovev, a famous TV journalist, political commentator, and Chairman of the Union of Journalists of Russia paid a working visit to South Ural State University on May 17th.
Scientists at SUSU have synthesized new, complex platinum compounds and studied their use as drugs. They found that these compounds are less toxic and can potentially protect the enzymes in the human body that are attacked by chemotherapeutic drugs used to treat cancer.
