TOMSK, Oct 15 – RIA Tomsk.Tomsk State University (TSU) initiated the creation of an interdisciplinary
consortium comprising Russia's leading research centers; the
participants will use breakthrough technologies to develop new materials
for medicine, space and other areas, the university's website reported
on Friday.
It is specified that the association includes
about 10 leading research centers from Tomsk, Moscow, St. Petersburg and
other cities. The consortium will carry out research projects under
specific tasks set by industrial partners or the state.
"TSU
initiated the creation of an interdisciplinary consortium aimed at
developing new materials for medicine, space, military-industrial
complex and other areas. It includes TSU, Institute of Strength Physics
and Materials Science SB RAS (ISPMS SB RAS), Institute for Problems of
Chemical and Energetic Technologies SB RAS, SMTU, SPSIT, Institute of
Problems of Chemical Physics RAS, Tomsk National Research Medical Center
(TNRMC), a number of other scientific centers", – says the report.

It
was added that the partners will use breakthrough technologies of
digital and experimental design and modelling of technological processes
to create new materials. It will allow to create essentially new
compounds and considerably accelerate their emergence. The capacity of
the TSU SKIF Cyberia supercomputer will be used for digital modelling.
According
to the report, it takes 10 years on average to develop a new material,
study its properties and transfer it into industrial use. Computer
modelling will reduce this time frame by at least half.
