The most powerful Russian quantum computer achieves 100% accuracy on 70 ion qubits.
In 2025, Russian scientists developed a quantum computer consisting of 70 qubits, based on ytterbium ions
The scientific team from the Lebedev Physical Institute's Quantum Computing Project presented a prototype quantum computer, which was successfully tested as part of the implementation of the quantum computing roadmap overseen by the Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom. The accuracy of single-qubit operations reached nearly 100% , the highest level ever recorded for a Russian quantum computer of its kind.
Revolutionary plasma engines shorten interplanetary journeys
In 2025, Roscosmos announced that experts at its Keldysh Center had successfully created and tested two high-powered plasma engines, designed to ensure interplanetary travel possibilities.
Self-driving: Moscow launches trial of its first self-driving metro train
In an ambitious move to enter the world of advanced transportation, and on the Great Ring Road at night and without passengers , Moscow launched in 2025 the first trial of a self-driving metro train within an integrated system to ensure passenger safety.
An innovative way to create "eternal " limbs
Russian scientists have created an advanced alloy for manufacturing ultra-durable prosthetic limbs, described as "eternal," made up of titanium, nickel, copper and zirconium.
This compound is based on the shape-memory properties of metals and is coated with a glass-like layer for protection. The resulting metal has been shown to be seven times stronger and more corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for manufacturing permanent prosthetics, such as knee joints.
Researchers assert that this innovation will improve the quality of life for tens of thousands of people, as current prosthetic limbs are typically replaced every 10 years, while the new limbs will last much longer.
The use of the alloy is not limited to prosthetic limbs, but its applications extend to maxillofacial surgery , where a similar alloy known as "titanium nickelide" is used.
Researcher Marina Ostapenko , an associate professor at the university, explains : "This material is used in stents, where the shape memory effect is most pronounced. Before inserting the stent, it is cooled and shaped into a tube, then inserted through the artery into the heart, where it expands as its temperature rises. This is the essence of the shape memory phenomenon of metals."
The researchers also point out that the new alloy could be used in the manufacture of robots , including surgical robots, opening up broad prospects for future medical technologies.
New Russian vaccines against cancer
Russian Health Minister Mikhail Murashko announced that patients in Russia will be able to receive a vaccine to treat melanoma (skin cancer) by early 2026.
Health Minister Mikhail Murashko announced that the cost of diagnosing and treating cancer in Russia could be five times lower than in Western countries, potentially making treatment more accessible to a wider range of patients.
Russia begins clinical trials of Enteromix anti-cancer vaccine
Andrei Kaprin, chief oncologist at the Russian Ministry of Health, reported that the Russian anti-tumor vaccine Enteromix is currently undergoing the first phase of clinical trials.
He explained that doctors are currently working to determine the optimal dose and the body's tolerance to the vaccine.
Three promising Russian compounds open new horizons for cancer treatment
Scientists from the Russian city of Novosibirsk have developed three promising compounds containing the element gadolinium , which can be used to treat cancer using neutron capture technology .
The Russian Academy of Sciences reveals developments in chemotherapy for cancer in Russia
The world's most powerful fast neutron reactor: A massive project launched in the Russian Urals
Russia is developing a fuel that will provide energy for a thousand years.
Russian scientists have developed an innovative nuclear fuel designed for fourth-generation reactors, capable of providing energy to humanity for thousands of years, and solving the main problems associated with the efficient use of uranium in conventional reactors.
Russia tests its first domestically produced marine power unit to convert hydrogen into electricity.
Scientists at the Krylov Research Center have successfully tested a new marine power unit that converts the chemical energy of hydrogen into electricity, the first system of its kind to be produced locally in Russia.
Alexei Chadayev, Director General of the Russian Oshkoyni Scientific-Production Center, announced that the fiber-optic drone known as the Knyaz Vandal Novgorodsky has become the primary combat vehicle of its kind for the Russian Armed Forces, and has contributed to the destruction of enemy military equipme
nt valued at the equivalent of the equipment of two European armies.
