This company in 30 countries "engaged in development in nanoteohnology, produces equipment in the field of semiconductors, vacuum technology, storage technology, the production of projection screens and space electronics.
Since then, Vekselberg managed to build a center on application of nano, which increase stability and durability of the surfaces to external influences, in the suburban town of Elektorstal. Conducted lively discussions with giants such as KAMAZ, GAZ, the Russian Technologies Rostvertol, Energomash. That is, business is growing and spreading. Why is the principal owner of a rich Swiss company does not want to covenants Russian president made "private investor" of its own tempting project, and instead requests 750 million from the state? Habit 90 years? And what is the meaning of this innovative project for the presidential innograda Skolkovo - in the development of Oerlikon?
"Academicians of the Russian Academy of Sciences of sounding the alarm: while domestic basic science does not receive one third of the needed financing, as in the RAS is the reduction of the reduction, cost billions of rubles were provided to support all sorts of dubious scientific and technological laboratories and associations, under the guise of developing innovative projects dealing with development of public funds. In the first half of July Commission for the Modernization and Technological Development of the Russian economy under the Russian president would finally determine which projects will receive support, and what - no, but without the participation of Sciences peer review can not be sufficiently accurate.

Scientists claim that the most innovative proposals submitted to the Government and the Presidential Commission on Modernization, in fact, are nothing else but the usual profanity.

We do have problems with filtering applications for funding, and it happens that such a "pusher" mistaken for a serious innovator. "
That's how the list of priority projects eligible for support from the government of the country, got that already became a byword draft study of torsion fields RANS Anatoly Akimov.
