Vacuum tunnel diodes Vacuum tunnel diodes (VTD) can be used in cooling devices and in solid-state electric generators. Quantum-mechanical calculations of the maximum electric power and efficiency of VTDs depending on the width of the vacuum gap and
on the temperature difference between the electrodes in the mode of electricity generation shows promise for their use in the electrical generators, working on a variety of heat sources in the least used temperature range of 300-600°C.

"Nano-fingers" for nanoengineers In Russia, created a toolkit for researchers and nanoengineers, which allows you to perform 3D manipulations of nanoparticles. The work with nanoinstruments is also easy and convenient as with a conventional macroelements. The project develops the Centre of Nanotechnologies and Nanomaterials of the Republic of Mordovia.

Microchip-based express diagnostics of botulinum toxins Botulism is a life-threatening human infectious disease. Delayed diagnosis of infection leads to death in 60 % of cases. The disease develops rapidly, often in just a few hours after penetration of the pathogen into the body, so it is very important to make an accurate diagnosis at an early stage. Since traditional laboratory diagnostics requires more than one day, of great interest are the new devices that perform express analysis using the microchips. In particular, the analyzer of toxins and pathogens ePaTOX II allows to define the botulinum toxins of types A, B, E and F for 20 minutes, to neutralize them and alleviate the suffering of patients.

Applications of terahertz radiation in biology and medicine Terahertz range occupies an intermediate position between the microwave and optical parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. In this range are line rotational transitions of molecules, as well as vibrational and vibrational-rotational transitions of large molecules, including organic, which opens up opportunities for their research and for selective effect on them.
