Young scientists from SUSU developed a computer game inspired by the literary works of Nikolai Gogol. It is based on the text of the Christmas Eve novel. This type of digital entertainment belongs to the genre of "virtual novels". Players can follow the unfolding events, and can even change how the story ends.
A young scientist and Senior Research Fellow from the SUSU Laboratory for High-entropy Materials Majid Naseri is 36. However, the articles, where he acts as a co-author, are nearly every month published in the world's major scientific journals, such as Journal of Alloys and Compounds, or Intermetallics. He is working on the problem of creating high-entropy alloys. These are the alloys based on five or more metals, each of which adds to specific properties. And for his research he also uses some "top-notch" mathematics: automata theory, modern geometry, and fuzzy logic.
Recently, a joint meeting of specialists from the Chelyabinsk Centre for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring and scientists from South Ural State University has taken place.
Modern South Ural region is well known not only for its metropolises, but for its mono-industry towns as well. An iron and steel works is a town-forming enterprise, in the suburbs of which mines are located to produce ore and coal, and on the outskirts – a forest of high-rise residential districts and, of course…a cemetery.
Surprising as it may seem, but something similar could be found in our area already back in the Bronze Age. For example, an ancient mine Vorovskaya Yama (Thieves’ Pit), discovered by Gennady Zdanovich, Viktor Zaykov and Anatoly Yuminov in the early 1990s.
As part of the Science and Universities project, which is being implemented upon instructions of the President of the Russian Federation, students from leading universities in Chelyabinsk have gained access to modern and comfortable spaces – they have moved into new hostels. The Inter-university Campus unites seven universities in our city. This figure has become symbolic: the buildings are opening in the Year of the Family, they have seven floors, and in the future, seven more facilities will be built.
Deputy Minister of Science of the Russian Federation Andrey Omelchuk arrived in the Chelyabinsk Region on a business visit. The main goal of the visit was to monitor the progress of construction of the Inter-University Campus. Before observing the construction site, Andrey Omelchuk held a working meeting, which was attended by the SUSU Rector Alexander Wagner, the Minister of Education of the Chelyabinsk Region Vitaliy Litke, representatives of the developer company, VTB Bank and other interested parties.
The closing ceremony of the anniversary Tenth Peaceful Atom All-Russian Student Construction Works has been held in Ozyorsk.

Friends from senior classes will help first-year students adapt to the rules of the university.
The SUSU Student Mentoring System is aimed at helping and supporting first-year students who are just beginning to get used to life at a large university.
President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin awarded honorary titles to three residents of the Chelyabinsk Region. The corresponding decree was published on the Internet portal of official legal acts on August 22nd. Two of the awardees are scientists from South Ural State University.
Modern metallurgical production cannot be imagined without the use of Industry 4.0 technologies. Manufacturing today is being actively digitalized, and SUSU scientists have a significant role in this process.
Preventing accidents and unplanned equipment downtime in production is quite real today. This is possible thanks to the use of intelligent information processing methods. Data is collected from sensors that monitor heat flow from bearings under high load. Neural network acts as a tool for processing data from sensors.
AGRO 2024 Regional General-purpose Agro-industrial Exhibition is held at the Traktor Ice Arena in Chelyabinsk August 21st through August 23rd. More than 150 companies from cities and districts of the South Ural region are presenting agricultural machinery, seedlings, animal breeds, and food products.
Every year our country celebrates the National Flag Day on August 22nd. Though the holiday itself has appeared relatively recently, the flag’s history dates back to a distant past.
One of the first mentions of this flag is the chronicle of the 12th century "The Tale of Bygone Years", which says that Prince Vladimir Monomakh brought with him a golden silk flag from Byzantium, which became a symbol of Christianity and statehood.
Learn all about a city within 24 hours? It is possible! Thus, on the final day of the “University Sessions” program a number of excursions for children was organized, including history games, walks and examining a variety of exhibits.
Tours around two major Chelyabinsk museums were held for the children: Russia – My History historical multimedia park and the State Historical Museum of the South Urals, where the focus was surely made on the meteorite.
Scientists from South Ural State University have found a profitable solution for recycling copper smelting waste. The remaining slag will be used to produce grinding cast iron balls, which are used to crush ore, coal and other industrial raw materials.
Meetings for first-year students with the teaching staff members of their schools and institutes will be held at South Ural State University on August 30th and 31st. Students will meet their group mates and will learn more about the university life.
We enjoy travelling and discovering new places for us. But what are professional geographers engaged in? Sergey Belov, Candidate of Sciences (Geography), Associate Professor of the Department of Town Planning, Engineering Networks and Systems, Associate Professor of the Department of Ecology and Chemical Engineering, speaks on this topic.
– How is this holiday celebrated at our university?
– This holiday is a novelty for SUSU: posters are appearing, but, in my opinion, no specific events are being held yet.
The Art Museum of the SUSU Institute of Media, Social Sciences and Humanities, the collection of which includes almost a thousand works of fine art of the 20th–21st centuries, received a donation from the Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Honorary Citizen of the city of Chelyabinsk and the Chelyabinsk Region German Vyatkin ‑ a portrait of an outstanding choreographer Gerardo Viana Gomez de Fonseca (1925-2013) by the chief artist of the Chelyabinsk Opera and Ballet Theatre named after M.I. Glinka Yakov Korsunsky (1932-1986).
"University Sessions" are open! 82 children from new regions of Russia will have an entertaining and educational summer vacation at the SUSU Berezka Camp for two weeks.
SUSU Rector Alexander Wagner came to open the session. At the beginning of the acquaintance, he told the guys about the Chelyabinsk Region, its rich nature and, of course, our university:
Do you already have a job, but want to improve your knowledge in the professional field? There is a solution to that: obtain higher education at South Ural State University by applying for part-time mode of study! We will speak about its advantages in this news piece.
So, you have chosen a part-time mode of education in which students study by themselves during the semester and then pass tests and exams to university teaching staff by certain deadlines.
Builder's Day is a professional holiday celebrated every year on the second Sunday of August. It was established in the mid-1950s, and today the industry employs more than 6 million people. On the eve of the holiday, Acting Director of the SUSU Institute of Architecture and Construction, Head of the Department of Construction Production and Theory of Structures, Candidate of Sciences (Engineering), Associate Professor Aleksandr Kiianets shared his vision of the situation in the construction industry, and also spoke about the prospects for the development of the institute.
In their free time students can implement their ideas by presenting projects in various contests and festivals. Catch up and read our review here: perhaps, it is your application that we are still missing!
Student tourism
The Youth and Student Tourism Program is an excellent opportunity for students, postgraduates and young professionals to travel around our country, staying at university dormitories.
Within the frameworks of close collaboration between Russia and the People's Republic of China, a delegation from Zhengzhou University of Aeronautics has paid a visit to South Ural State University.
This visit by our colleagues from the partner university is aimed at continuing to strengthen the partnership links between the universities, as well as at learning about new projects that we could implement together.
SUSU archaeologists discovered an interesting find, a burial of a “wandering metallurgist”, dated back to the Bronze Age. It was found during excavations at burials of the Sintashta culture in the area of Krivoye Ozero in the Troitsky District of the Chelyabinsk Region. The result was published in the international journal “Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences” of the Springer Verlag publishing house. The research was supported by a grant from the Russian Science Foundation.
