The above list, compiled by specialists of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, lacks one more, perhaps the most basic achievement of Belarusian scientists. We are talking about a domestically developed satellite for remote sensing of the Earth, which was successfully launched on July 22, 2012 from the Baikonur cosmodrome.
Superheavy elements It was in the post-Soviet era that Russian scientists took the lead in the race for superheavy elements of the periodic table. From 2000 to 2010, physicists from the Flerov laboratory at the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna, near Moscow, synthesized for the first time six of the heaviest elements with atomic numbers from 113 to 118. Two of them were officially recognized in 2011 by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and received the names fleuric (114) and livermorium (116). Element 115 was synthesized in Dubna, the authors proposed the name moscovium (moscovium, Mc). Element 118 was named oganesson (Og) by the authors in honor of Yuri Tsolakovich Oganesyan for his pioneering contribution to the study of transactinoid elements and important nuclear physics achievements in the discovery of superheavy nuclei and the study of the "island of nuclear stability".
The success of science is a matter of time and courage of the mind Voltaire The science of Belarus has deep historical origins. The first scientific ideas date back to the 7th-8th centuries, when among the tribes inhabiting the territory of our country, the allocation of crafts began: foundry, blacksmithing, pottery, weaving. The development of these crafts was impossible without certain physical and physico-chemical knowledge.
Science is the best way to make the human spirit heroic Giordano Bruno. The spread of Christianity (X-XII centuries) contributed to the further development of science, as well as writing, literature and culture. Libraries were created in monasteries and temples, chronicles were kept, books were copied. Bright representatives of education of that time were E. Polotskaya and K. Turovsky. More attention was paid to natural sciences.
In the VIII-XIX centuries. Scientific research were especially active in the fields of astronomy, chemistry, geography, biology, history and ethnography, and are associated with the names of famous Belarusian scientists, among which: He who knows science is inferior to those who find pleasure in it Confucius (Kung Tzu) Martin Poczobut - Odlyanytsky Ignat Domeyko Joachim Khreptovich Kazimir Narbut
Observing the purity of science is the first commandment of a scientist Nikolai Nikolayevich Semenov The Belarusian Academy of Sciences was established on the basis of the Institute of Belarusian Culture in 1929. In the pre-war years, Belarusian scientists conducted research in the field of geology, , economic and other sciences. Since the 1950s, the physical, mathematical and technical sciences have developed rapidly, new institutions have been created, academic scientific centers in regional cities. Per recent times its structure has been noticeably transformed: new types of organizations (scientific and practical centers and associations) have been created, management approaches and methods have been improved innovative activities. At the same time, scientists provide their customers with a full range of services: from a scientific idea to specific development work, organization of production.

Random discoveries are made only by prepared minds B. Pascal In June 2012, Belarus became a space power. A Belarusian Earth remote sensing satellite was launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The spacecraft (SKA) was launched into space in a cluster of five vehicles - together with the Russian Kanopus-V and MKA-FKI (Zond-PP), the German TET-1 and the Canadian ADS-1B. The Belarusian spacecraft provides full coverage of the territory of Belarus with satellite imagery. Its weight is about 400 kg, and its resolution in the panchromatic range is about 2 m. Thanks to the launch of the satellite, Belarus can create an independent system for remote sensing of the Earth, which will make it possible to refuse the services of other states on the issues of receiving and processing space information. SPACE (ASTRONOMY)
Scientists of the Joint Institute for Informatics Problems of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus have developed the SKIF-GRID supercomputer based on 12-core AMD Opteron processors and graphic accelerators. This is the most productive configuration in the SKIF family of Belarusian supercomputer models. Peak performance, excluding GPU acceleration, is 8 Teraflops. The achieved performance index (COP) of the cluster is 82.15%. Computing nodes and other modules of the SKIF-GRID cluster are located in one 19-inch rack about 2 meters high. Supercomputer "SKIF-GRID" (INFORMATICS) The new supercomputer was created by Belarusian executors of the program of the Union State "SKIF-GRID". Within its framework, the SKIF-polygon computing platform and experimental sections of the grid network were created - the basis of the joint computing space of the Union State. It consists of a number of territorially separated, but united in a single network of supercomputer centers. Such a combination allows solving a much wider range of tasks, since all the capacities of a geographically distributed system are involved in computing, data storage, and processing, regardless of where they are located. Science is a very difficult business. Science is suitable only for strong minds Montaigne M.
New generation lasers (PHYSICS) Employees of the Institute of Physics of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus have developed new generation lasers. The scope of application is wide: from medicine to industry. Unlike traditional lasers, these lasers are much safer for the eyes. In addition, they are much smaller and more functional. It is expected that in the future, devices and technologies using them will facilitate the work of specialists in various sectors of the national economy. In parallel with this, new developments of Belarusian physicists are already in demand abroad. The Institute of Physics named after B.I. Stepanov develops new laser sources and systems for various purposes, investigates nonlinear dynamics complex systems, optical methods diagnostics of natural objects and biological environments. AT scientific institution they also study the development of the physical and technological foundations for creating micro-, opto- and nanoelectronics products, develop methods for processing information, information-measuring systems and control systems. The Institute cooperates with research centers and companies in India, China, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Italy, Germany, France, Poland, Russia and other countries. Science is the captain, and practice is the soldiers of Leonardo da Vinci
Medical Achievements (CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY) A unique DNA Biotechnology Center has been opened at the Institute of Genetics and Cytology of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. The new structure will make it possible to more effectively implement the achievements of genetics and genomics in healthcare, agriculture, sports and security environment Belarus. The specialists of the Institute have begun to create a modern testing ground for testing transgenic plants. Transgenic varieties of agricultural plants will be grown here and their first tests will be carried out. Belarusian and Russian scientists have obtained human lactoferrin from transgenic milk goats for the first time. It has unique anti-cancer, antibacterial and anti-allergic properties. In many countries of the world, technologies for obtaining lactoferrin from cow's milk have already been mastered. But the methodology created by the scientists of Belarus and Russia has significant advantages over foreign ones. One liter of milk from transgenic goats contains about six grams of lactoferrin, and this is one of the highest rates in the world. Science is nothing but a reflection of reality Bacon F.
In science, glory goes to the one who convinced the world, and not to the one who first came across the idea of Francis Darwin Scientists from Belarus have grown a red emerald - this has never been done before. Unusual gem was first grown in the Scientific and Practical Center of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus for Materials Science. In nature, red emerald is extremely rare, and it is mined in only one place on Earth - in the Waho-Waho Mountains, located in Utah, USA. An artificial analogue is in no way inferior in beauty, composition and quality to nuggets, but it costs almost 100 times cheaper. For several years, the Research and Production Center for Materials Science has been producing synthetic emeralds and rubies, having occupied, according to experts, a worthy niche in the global jewelry market. About 6 million carats of precious stones are “mined” in it annually.
Belarusian scientists have achieved significant success in various areas of scientific research. The achievements of scientific schools in the field of mathematics, theoretical physics, spectroscopy and luminescence, laser physics, electronics, automation, thermal physics, materials science, mechanical engineering, geology, bioorganic chemistry, physiology, genetics, breeding, soil science are widely known, highly appreciated in Belarus and internationally recognized. , cardiology, surgery Keeping the purity of science is the first commandment of the scientist N. N. Semenov
Most Russians imagine Belarus as a small agricultural country with countless fields, collective and state farms. This is partly true. Agriculture developed in the republic at a very high level. But few people know that Belarusians own a lot interesting discoveries, achievements and inventions in the most various fields. Today, I will tell you some of them
1.Viber
The world's most popular smartphone app. With this application you can make cheap calls all over the world using ViOP (Internet telephony) technology. The main developer and author of the idea is a Belarusian Igor Shop. Viber was first launched in 2010 and has since amassed over 600 million active users worldwide.
2. World Of Tanks
One of the most successful online games in the world. Developed by wargaming.net in 2010. From 2010 to 2014, recognized as the best online game in the world according to the KRI
The headquarters of the company is located in Minsk. The main developer and author of the idea is a Belarusian Viktor Kisly. Graduated from Belarusian State University (Minsk). Most of the game developers are citizens of the Republic of Belarus
3. Cure for cancer
in 2015, Belarusian scientists successfully completed tests new technology treatment of breast cancer. Trials began back in 2004, and after 11 years, this method has finally passed all the necessary tests. Scientists from all over the world, including the United States, have already become interested in the development. The method is based on treatment with the sole of dendritic cells. The author and developer of the method is Andrey Goncharov and Lev Titov. Both are citizens of the Republic of Belarus.
By the way, have one interesting fact. Oncologists in Belarus have managed to achieve very significant success in the treatment of many forms of cancer. For example, according to the results of 2014, Belarus ranked second in terms of the effectiveness of the treatment of brain cancer, losing the championship only to Switzerland.

4. BELAZ 57710
The heaviest mining dump truck in the world is produced in Belarus at the BELAZ-HOLDING plant. The carrying capacity of the monster is 450 tons. At the moment it is the largest dump truck in the world. According to its characteristics, it is far ahead of all the closest competitors, including cars of the world famous company Caterpilar.
5. Healing laser
In 2014, a group of Belarusian scientists presented to the world their unique development, which has no analogues. The device was called "antiseptic laser". The essence of the technology is that when it affects the human body, the healing of any type of wounds is accelerated by 3 times. The device has already passed all the necessary tests and will soon go to work in the medical institutions of Belarus.
This post is just the start of a series. From time to time I will write new articles in which I will tell you a lot of new and interesting things on this topic.
DAY OF BELARUSIAN SCIENCE Life sets goals for science, science illuminates the path of life…
The Day of Science in the USSR was celebrated on the third Sunday of April, since in 1918, between April 18 and 25, Lenin drew up a “Outline of a plan for scientific and technical work”, which was the actual recognition of science by the Soviets. Many scientific teams still celebrate Science Day "according to the old style." At the end of 1993, a holiday was officially established in the Republic of Belarus under the name "Belarusian Science Day". Science Day in Belarus is annually celebrated on the last Sunday of January. The Day of Russian Science, for example, is celebrated on February 8th. This holiday is dedicated to the date of the foundation of the Russian Academy of Sciences ( Russian Academy Sciences), established by order of Peter I by the Decree of the ruling Senate of January 28 (February 8, according to a new style), 1724. Every great success of science has its origin in a great audacity of the imagination. John Dewey
Science is a treasure, and scientist man will never disappear. Arbiter Gaius Petronius International Science Day (World Science Day For Peace And Development) was officially proclaimed by UNESCO in 2001, and since then has been celebrated annually on November 10th. International Day of Science and Humanism, also known as Darwin Day, is celebrated on February 12, the birthday of the founder of the theory of evolution, biologist Charles Darwin. Back in 1882 (the year of Charles Darwin's death), the scientist's fans decided to celebrate this day. In 1909, the holiday was already very widespread.
Brilliant ideas come to those who have earned them through hard work. IN AND. Vernadsky The science of Belarus has deep historical origins. The first scientific ideas date back to the 7th-8th centuries, when among the tribes inhabiting the territory of our country, the allocation of crafts began: foundry, blacksmithing, pottery, weaving. The development of these crafts was impossible without certain physical and physico-chemical knowledge.
A scientist is not one who gives the right answers, but one who asks the right questions. Claude Levi-Strauss The spread of Christianity (X-XII centuries) contributed to the further development of science, as well as writing, literature and culture. Libraries were created in monasteries and temples, writings were kept in the summer, books were copied. Bright representatives of education of that time were E. Polotskaya and K. Turovsky. With the spread of the humanistic and reform movement (XVI-XVII centuries), education gradually acquired a secular character, with more attention paid to natural sciences. By the XIII-XIV centuries. includes the creation on the territory of Belarus of its own system of measures - the so-called Polotsk system of measures.
The one who knows science yields to the one who finds pleasure in it. Confucius (Kung Tzu) In the VIII-XIX centuries. scientific research was especially active in the field of astronomy, chemistry, geography, biology, history and ethnography, and is associated with the names of famous Belarusian scientists, among them: Ignat Domeiko Martin Pochobut-Odlyanitsky Joachim Khreptovich Kazimir Narbut
AT early XIX century, with the development of machine production, there was a need to solve complex technical problems. An organic combination of science and technology began. Belarusian scientists of that time are actively working: The process of scientific discoveries is, in essence, a continuous flight from miracles. Albert Einstein
All ideas in science were born in the dramatic conflict between reality and our attempts to understand it. Albert Einstein
Domestic scientific research acquired a wide scale in the BSSR, after its formation in 1919. In 1929, the Belarusian Academy of Sciences was established on the basis of the Institute of Belarusian Culture. In the pre-war years, Belarusian scientists carried out research in the field of geology, geography, botany, zoology, biochemistry, medicine, physical and mathematical, philosophical, economic and other sciences. Since the 1950s, physical, mathematical and technical sciences have developed rapidly, new institutes have been created, and academic research centers have been organized in regional cities. The sciences and arts are the glory of the people; they increase his happiness. Helvetius
Among those who created domestic science, thanks to scientific achievements which the world scientific community has a new concept of "Belarusian scientific school”, - the names of Belarusian scientists: K.V. Gorev A.R. Zhebrak V.F. Kuprevich A.S. Evening T.N. Godnev N.D. Nesterovich P.F. Rokitsky A.N. Sevchenko F.I. Fedorov B.I. Stepanov True science knows neither likes nor dislikes: its only goal is truth. William Grove
“Is the Academy useful as, so to speak, a temple of science, as a source of pure knowledge? … Further development science, more and more connecting itself with the needs of production, will probably bring to life some kind of organizational forms. . These words of the great scientist D.I. Mendeleev have not lost their relevance since the distant 1882. What latest scientific results can Belarusian science report today? (let's just give a few examples)
From the developments found practical use, we can note the creation at the Institute of Physics. B.I. Stepanov experimental samples of lasers that are safe for the eyes, which are not inferior to the best world analogues, which makes the development promising for widespread implementation. The Institute announced the creation of diode-pumped solid-state lasers. Compared to gas and other solid-state lasers, they are more efficient and compact. The most promising areas of their application are transport, environmental protection and medicine. Belarusian science for last years made great strides in the field of lasers. What latest scientific results can Belarusian science report today?
Previously unknown phenomena have been disclosed at the Scientific and Practical Center for Materials Science, which make it possible to slow down and accelerate the processes of proliferation (growth of the tissue of an animal or plant organism by cell neoplasm) of cancer cells by acting on them with nanoparticles based on the fullerene complex, which can be used for early diagnostics and suppression of the development of malignant tumors. What latest scientific results can Belarusian science report today? An unusual gem called “red emerald” was first grown by scientists from the Scientific and Practical Center for Materials Science of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. It is extremely rare in nature. Its artificial analogue is in no way inferior in beauty, composition and quality to nuggets, but at a price it costs almost 100 times cheaper.
At the Institute of Metal Technology of the National Academy of Sciences, cast iron compositions have been developed that have made it possible to increase the wear resistance of parts by 30-40%. What latest scientific results can Belarusian science report today? The Center for LED and Optoelectronic Technologies has developed world-class LED lamps for the street and housing and communal services. Research and production republican subsidiary UE "Polimag" presented technology and equipment for ultrafine finishing of surfaces in a magnetic field. This complex allows for controlled correction of the surface shape of parts of optics, laser technology and electronics.
What latest scientific results can Belarusian science report today? The attention of specialists will be attracted by the joint development of scientists from the Belarusian-Russian University from Mogilev - fiber-optic industrial endoscopes. They are designed for technical diagnostics of hard-to-reach places of machines and units. Their feature is the efficiency and reliability of diagnosis with a high contrast of the resulting image. Scientists from the Institute of Heat and Mass Transfer created a theory of evaporative cooling of micron droplets of solutions at reduced pressure in aerosol reactors, on the basis of which proposals were developed for using this effect to obtain nanoparticles of metal oxides inside droplets in an aerosol reactor. The developers of new technologies are the A.V. Lykov Institute of Heat and Mass Transfer and the Scientific and Practical Center for Animal Husbandry of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. On account of the first institution - the development of a unique atomic force microscope, microbioreactor, which allow you to increase the scanning area, to examine cells in vitro.
The Scientific and Practical Center for Animal Husbandry has developed a technology for obtaining medicines and food products based on human lactoferrin, which will serve as the basis for the organization of modern bioproduction of highly effective and biologically stable drugs and food additives. Through the joint efforts of scientists, transgenic animals (goats) were obtained, into the offspring of which a human gene construct was introduced. It became a sensation in scientific world, since no scientific team in any country has come so close to the possibility of a relatively cheap industrial production human lactoferrin, a natural antibiotic with a strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effect. What latest scientific results can Belarusian science report today?
In the course of a joint study by specialists from the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, the Joint Institute for Informatics Problems of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus, and the Republican Scientific and Practical Center for Epidemiology and Microbiology of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Belarus, a computer design of a new potential therapeutic agent was carried out. Researchers synthesized it and proved that it can effectively block the reproduction of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The Science and Technology Park of BNTU "Polytechnic" demonstrates an ultrasonic device for destroying blood clots. According to experts, such an installation will make a big breakthrough in the treatment of atherosclerosis. What latest scientific results can Belarusian science report today?
In 2011, the head of the laboratory of porous media of the Lykov Institute of Heat and Mass Transfer, Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor Leonard Vasiliev was awarded a gold medal named after the physicist George Grover. The time will come when science will outstrip fantasy. Jules Verne This award was established by the permanent Scientific Committee for the organization and conduct International conferences on heat pipes to reward scientists who have made a significant contribution to the development of the science of two-phase heat transfer devices and the technology of their manufacture.
Representatives of the academic and university branch of science have made a lot of efforts to ensure that the Republic of Belarus develops at an accelerated pace and takes its rightful place among the leading countries of the world. Today, the successes and achievements of Belarusian scientists in various fields of fundamental and applied science are recognized by the world community, and in a number of areas they are a serious avant-garde of scientific and technological progress. Happy Holidays to all scientists and enthusiasts of science!
