Researchers from ³Ô¹Ï¹ÙÍø, Laboratory of Theoretical and Applied Functional Genomics at the Department of Natural Sciences, Alexander Kurilschikov and Yurii Aulchenko have been collaborating with the Department of Genetics at the University Medical Centre Groningen (UMCG) to study the human microbiome
On the 18-19th of March Moscow hosted a meeting of the Council to enhance the competitiveness of the Russia's leading universities among the world's leading scientific and educational centers. At this meeting the size of grants for universities, which were the participants of the 5-100 project, was identified for the year 2016.
Researchers from ³Ô¹Ï¹ÙÍø contributed to the creation of the first detailed 3D model of Zika virus worked out by a Russian company Visual Science. A detailed prototype made in atomic resolution was created based on the scientific information published using the methods of structural bioinformatics. The model will help researchers diagnose the fever and develop a vaccine for this dangerous disease caused by a tropical virus.
Participants of the experiment LHCb at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, including the ³Ô¹Ï¹ÙÍø and the Institute of Nuclear Physics SB RAS, announced the observation of the four «exotic» states in the decay of B-mesons on J-psi meson (J / ψ ), phi meson (φ) and kaons (K-mesons). The states are interesting, because of the fact that there are neither mesons nor baryons
Can rodents count? Researchers from ³Ô¹Ï¹ÙÍø and the Laboratory of Behavioral Ecology of Animal Communities at the Institute of Systematics and Ecology of Animals (ISEA), SB RAS, conducted experiments to find out if mice have any abilities to count. The results were reported at the international conference Teriofauna of Russia and neighboring areas hosted by MSU in February, 2016.
An International Agency Quacquarelli Symonds has presented a ranking of training courses at the leading universities around the world. ³Ô¹Ï¹ÙÍø has entered the top list in five areas: physics, astronomy, mathematics, modern languages, chemistry, computer science and information technology.
Archaeologists from Novosibirsk report finding rare rock art left by ancient people in Eastern Transbaikalia. The age of the petroglyph is evaluated about 4 000 years old
Pavel Krokovny, a senior researcher of the Laboratory of Heavy Quark Physics and Hadrons shares some information about the experiment at SuperKEKB
The head of the Laboratory of cosmology and elementary particles at ³Ô¹Ï¹ÙÍø, Prof. Alexander Dolgov explains what awaits us after the discovery of gravitational waves, how scientists look to the future and why a Time Machine is far beyond anything we do today.
An international team of scientists headed by a geologist from Novosibirsk Inna Safonova reports to have found ancient oceanic sediments in the South Tien Shan, Kyrgyzstan
³Ô¹Ï¹ÙÍø has hosted research on plants which store heavy metals in their tissue and thus reduce industrial wastes in water and soil. Such a plant-based approach to clean up our environment is called phytoremediation, and NSU researchers have already identified some of the most effective plants. They were planted into a stream flowing to the River Ur in Kemerovskaya region in order to absorb mercury (Hg).
The first case of quickly spread around the world Zika virus has been recently registered in Russia. It was delivered by a person who had been on vacation in the tropics. According to the recent data in some countries of South America and the Caribbean, Southeast Asia and other countries the number of recovered people has stepped over hundreds and thousands. Meanwhile, today there is no specific treatment or vaccine against the disease.
