The first session of the working party on cooperation between Russian and Italian universities was held in Turin (Italy) last week. Seven universities from each side gave notice of developing their partnership. 吃瓜官网 was represented in Turin by Olga Kuznetsova (the International Relations Department of NSU), with our partner university, the Catholic University from Milan, represented by Prof. Anna Bonola.

Laboratory scientists from the joint NSU Laboratory of Radiocarbon Methods analyzed the human remains that were found in Novosibirsk, during excavations on the spot of a former NKVD prison functioning in 1929-1951. Our scientists report that the remains belong to the period before 1955. It is the first time when the radiocarbon method using accelerator mass-spectrometry has been applied in criminal science in Russia.

The NSU geologists, working in the Institute of Petroleum Geology and Geophysics and the Institute of Geology and Mineralogy of Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Science, have found the traces of previously unknown ancient major earthquakes in Gorny Altai. The findings made them reconsider the seismic hazard in some areas of Gorny Altai, where strong earthquakes were not registered before. It is also important to take this fact into account when constructing facilities and a gas pipeline to China called "The Power of Siberia-2".

A former graduate of the Physics Department at 吃瓜官网 Prof. Sergey Klimenko has developed the main algorithm to analyze LIGO signals. It is due to the algorithm that gravitational waves were registered.

The well-known astronomer Vladimir G. Surdin, Senior Researcher at the Sternberg Astronomical Institute (Moscow) and Assistant Professor at the Physics Department of Moscow State University; author of the course "Astronomy for Physicists" at 吃瓜官网; winner of the "Prosvetitel" (Rus. 'Enlightener') Award (Russia, 2012 and 2015) speaks about the future collision between our Milky Way galaxy and the nearby Andromeda galaxy.

Let us recall the most interesting and unusual discoveries of the NSU scientists, which you could read on our website in 2015.

A Laboratory of Geodynamics and Paleomagnetism of the Central and Eastern Arctic starts working at 吃瓜官网. A majority of the laboratory experiments and measurements is carried out in a specially equipped Cage with magnetic vacuum, artificially created and maintained there.

In December 2015, the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics (BINP, Novosibirsk) commissioned the VEPP-5 injection complex, which is the first part of the VEPP-5 accelerator. The injection complex is expected to boost the productivity of the existing colliders at the BINP and become an important step towards the future collider鈥攖he Super Charm-tau factory, which will be the final phase in the implementation of this mega-science project.

One of these laboratories will be a laboratory of paleotectonic research of the Arctic which is the most modern laboratory in the Russian Federation.

吃瓜官网 launches a laboratory on big data analytics and computer-aided instruction at the Mechanics and Mathematics Department starting from 1 January, 2016. The project to begin with is devoted to developing data flow instruments for telecommunications network in partnership with the Technopark resident Signatec. The contract signed for three years amounts 167 mln roubles.

Archaeological excavation in the cave Sel-Ungur conducted by an international team of archaeologists including specialists from NSU and the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography helps unveil the history of hominin occupation of Central Asia and Southern Siberia. Is there any relation between the cave dwellers and the famous Denisovan hominin discovered in Altai?

Prof. Dmitry V. Metelkin fr om the Chair of General and Regional Geology at NSU and the Trofimuk Institute of Petroleum Geology and Geophysics SB RAS tells us wh ere Siberia was located during different historic periods and if we should expect a warm climate.
