ПОСМОТРИТЕ ЕЩЕ: Russia has postponed the launch of one of its largest scientific projects, the Siberian Ring Photon Source (SKDF). By order of the government, instead of the planned date of December 31, the commissioning has now been postponed for a year. This is reported by rosZMI. Governor of Novosibirsk region Andrii Travnikov explained the delay as the influence of "sanction pressure". According to him, the withdrawal of foreign partners from the project forced Russian scientists to develop a number of systems from scratch, as access to the necessary foreign equipment turned out to be limited. This is the second postponement of the SKDF launch: initially it was planned for 2023. The idea of creating this complex near Novosibirsk was proposed back in 2018, including it in the national project "Science and Universities". The project was conceived as a technological breakthrough, which, according to Russian President Vladimir Putin, should make every second company in the country innovative. SKDF was called the world's first source of synchrotron radiation with an energy of 3 gigaelectron volts. His stations were to be used to decipher the structure of biopolymers, study living organisms, genetic information transmission mechanisms, and develop new materials. More than 47 billion rubles were allocated for the implementation of the project. However, even with this financial investment, the impact of sanctions and technological isolation made its completion much more difficult.
