SUSU scientists are developing new measurement circuits and methods for diagnostics of the quality of operation of a temperature gauge – thermoelectric transducer (thermocouple). This development can find application in petrochemical industry, mechanical engineering, metallurgy, and electric power engineering. It will allow to improve the accuracy of temperature measurement using thermocouples and will ensure the safety of production processes thanks to early detection of thermocouples' failure.
On May 13, a 3D Tactical Battle Cybersports competition will be held at the SUSU Institute of Sports, Tourism, and Service as part of the 2022-2023 Chelyabinsk Regional Games among Institutions of Higher Education.
3D Tactical Battle is a discipline of cybersports which uses a team-based computer game to simulate tactical battle. Each participant works with their team to control the point and achieve their goal.
The Student Council of the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science held a teambuilding event for IT students and gave them a chance to communicate with staff of leading IT companies in Chelyabinsk in an informal atmosphere.
Six student teams and representatives of NAPOLEON IT company competed in exciting contests and quests, shared their IT experience and knowledge, and competed in a tournament at a laser tag arena. The goal of the event was to help students rethink the programming industry and bring some variety to the student school days.
SUSU students and scientists developed an additive to the composition of electrodes, using which hazardous substances can be detected in food and water. The new electrode components are non-toxic and their production is cheap, and that reduces the cost of water analysis by 2-3 times.
This research is held within the frameworks of the New Non-conventional Materials strategic project under the Priority 2030 program, aimed at solving the tasks of the Science and Universities National Project.

Aleksandr Dugin, a Russian philosopher and political expert, and leader of the International Eurasian Movement, acted as the conference organizer and moderator.
The Great Victory Day Exhibition opened at the SUSU Art Gallery. This is a real milestone event since the exhibition features a number of famous paintings dedicated to a specific page in the history of the Great Patriotic War.
A project by a team of scientists at South Ural State University received grant support from the Russian Science Foundation (RSF). The project is focused on obtaining fundamental knowledge on the properties of promising vanadium steels. Although vanadium steels have long been known and widely used, for example in the manufacture of wrenches, their properties have not been studied sufficiently. The results of the research will make it possible to predict the properties of vanadium steels in a more accurate and inexpensive way compared to the experimental method.
South Ural State University took part in the All-Russian “Turnstiles-Open Days” event, with the active support from the regional Office of the Russian Engineering Union for the Chelyabinsk Region. The goal of the event is the career guidance counselling within the jobs being offered by our country’s leading enterprises, as well as the popularization of engineering and service jobs.
For more than 5 years now, scientists of South Ural State University have been actively studying important aspects of legal regulation of digital technologies. The results of their work can be seen as publications in highly ranked journals, including those of the first quartile, as well as multi-authored monographs and other scientific works.
Director of photography for special SUSU-TV projects Daniil Rukavitsyn has become a winner in the All-Russian Student Television Contest organized by the Russian Television Academy TEFI Foundation. The awarding ceremony has been held at the Ural Federal University.
Around 400 works from 46 universities of our country were submitted for the contest. Students of South Ural State University presented their semidocumentary film titled South Urals. Traces of Ages.

Within the frameworks of a contest under the mega-grants program by the Russian Federation Ministry of Science and Higher Education, a team of SUSU scientists developed a methodology for obtaining of a microspheres composite material. It can help modify sensory electrodes, which are used to electrochemically detect organic pollutants in water. This material will increase the efficiency of sensors and expand the range of their possible application, including for decomposition of organic pollutants. The research results have been published in the Sensors (Q1) top-ranking journal.
Research fellows of the Crystal Growth Laboratory of the SUSU "Non-conventional Materials and Resource-Saving Technologies" Research Institute have successfully completed the experiment held at the National Research Centre "Kurchatov Institute". They studied the products of chemical and radiation-induced carbonization of the films of fluorine-containing polymer polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). The results of this experiment provided the scientists with crucial information, which will help create a new semiconducting material in the future.
