Scientists from Tomsk Polytechnic University and their colleagues from Germany have conducted an experiment which demonstrated the behaviour of areas of two-dimensional materials which are applied in advanced electronics. It comes to devices that are in the research stage and will be used for the creation of flexible displays for smartphones and other gadgets, flexible optical and computing schemes, flexible solar cells and so on.

A study has revealed a technology how to cover biodegradable implants with a human skeleton similar mineral. Bone tissue regeneration, one of the issues of tissue engineering, is a research area for Dmitry Gorin and his international colleagues, a leading research fellow at the RASA Center in Tomsk Polytechnic University. The scientists have developed a new vaterite-based coating for nanofiber material used as scaffold to grow bone tissue ce...

Scientists from Tomsk Polytechnic University are developing a robotic arm prototype and its control algorithm using myoelectric signals. The mechanical limb will independently recognise the motions of its owner and be able to perform all the same motions like a healthy arm. The scientists estimate the final cost of the device of 600 - 1,000 USD.

Scientists from Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) have developed a prototype analyser for rapid testing of meldonium and other performance-enhancing drugs in competitive athletics. The device is based on an electrochemical method that allows displaying test results immediately. In contrast to similar devices on the market, the analyser is mobile, has a user-friendly interface, and is far cheaper. It is expected to cost up to USD $1500.

Sand, coral and even waste building materials can become extremely efficient sorbents for removing toxic substances such as arsenic from water if they are treated for that purpose. Scientists of Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) have revealed a new technology that purified 3.6 m3 of water using 200 grams of sorbent from available raw materials, the cost of which will be a little more $1 to end consumers.
