Students have praised the Russian oil company Tatneft for sponsoring their studies at the Higher Petroleum University of Oil in the Republic of Tatarstan, saying it paved the way for them to become among the world’s top oil engineers.  Egyptian postgraduate student, Sayed Tarek Aboelsaud Zarif Abdallah, and his Russian counterpart, Liana Idrisova, told African Times during an Oil Summit in the city of Almetyevsk that they have honed their skills as engineers since arriving at the Almetyevsk State Technological…

The upgraded reporter system helps identify compounds that inhibit bacterial RNA synthesis, supporting the search for treatments against antibiotic-resistant infections Researchers from Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, a partner of TV BRICS, and other Russian scientific centres have developed an advanced reporter system to accelerate the discovery of new antibiotics. The technology enables scientists to identify compounds that disrupt RNA synthesis in Gram-negative bacteria, including multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a major cause of hospital-acquired infections, according to the Skoltech website.…

Participants included representatives of the BRICS countries and members of the Inostranka Russian Club An open lesson for foreigners studying the Russian language was held at the BRICS+ Information and Cultural Media Centre in Moscow. The event brought together students from BRICS countries and members of the Inostranka Russian Club, a project of the M. I. Rudomino All-Russia State Library for Foreign Literature aimed at supporting the socio-cultural adaptation of foreign citizens in Russia. The participants are learning Russian through…

The new mathematical approach enables precise identification of material phases, supporting advances in metallurgy, environmental science and resource recycling Researchers at South Ural State University (SUSU), a partner of TV BRICS, have developed a novel method that allows scientists to determine the composition of materials based on their known chemical elements, identifying both the types of compounds present and their quantities. The innovation is expected to support practical applications in metallurgy and environmental research, reports the university’s website. The project…

Neural network system identifies tumours with high accuracy, offering new support tool for clinicians Researchers at the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, a partner of TV BRICS, have developed an artificial intelligence model capable of detecting early-stage pancreatic cancer from computed tomography (CT) scans, in collaboration with scientists from Southern Federal University. According to the official website of Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, pancreatic cancer is often diagnosed at advanced stages, when treatment options are limited, and the five-year survival…

The solution will help emergency services and local residents prepare in advance for hazardous natural events Researchers at Saint Petersburg State University (SPbU), a TV BRICS partner, have developed a programme to calculate the characteristics of outburst floods. It enables the prediction of failures in earthen dams of reservoirs and lakes, as well as the outburst of mountain glacial lakes formed by moraine deposits (rock debris, clay and pebbles created by glacier movement). The scientists’ development is designed to provide…

Breakthrough thermal barrier material could improve fuel economy and durability in high-temperature engines Researchers at South Ural State University, a partner of TV BRICS, have developed an innovative thermal barrier coating by combining glass with an aluminium alloy, offering a new solution for protecting engine components operating under extreme conditions. According to the official website of the university, the material is designed for use in internal combustion engine pistons, where temperatures and mechanical stress are particularly high. By acting as…

This breakthrough is particularly relevant given the growing number of satellite constellations in space, where every millisecond counts in preventing collisions between objects Professor Andrey Baranov of the Engineering Academy at Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia named after Patrice Lumumba (RUDN) has developed algorithms that enable the rapid determination of a spacecraft’s manoeuvre parameters using a minimum of data – just one or two measurements from Earth. The development enables the instantaneous tracking of active satellites and the prediction of…

Authorities highlight breakthrough potential as personalised mRNA therapies enter initial application stage Russia has announced significant progress in the development of vaccines targeting cancer and autoimmune diseases, with early clinical use already underway and broader applications under consideration, reports Prensa Latina, a partner of TV BRICS. President of the Russian Academy of Sciences Gennady Krasnikov stated that national researchers are actively working on innovative vaccine technologies, particularly in oncology and immunology. He emphasised that the scientific potential in this field…

The Russian President announced the launch of new projects in science and innovation with the group’s partners Russian President Vladimir Putin has emphasised the need to develop technological cooperation with BRICS countries. He made this announcement at the congress of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP), according to the official website of the Kremlin. The congress also hosted the first meeting of the National Committee for Business Cooperation within BRICS, which was established by presidential decree in February…
