Director of the Institute of Chemistry STA: Money is available, but should be able to draw :: The crisis in development - actions and responses
Ljubljana, 26 June (STA) - The director of the Institute of Chemistry Janko Suyama, in an interview pointed out that even in public institutes to manage as is expected from a successful private companies. This week opened a new research center, which is worth more than EUR 12 million, of which 80 percent of the funding came from the EU.
National Institute of Chemistry research in two broad areas - life sciences and materials sciences. More specifically, this means that we are working on structural chemistry, computational chemistry, biotechnology, synthetic biology, contemplates molecules, macromolecules, those who in one way or another connected with life. For example, prokaryotic cells we are interested in the structure of proteins, how they evolve, how can you treat people and help in the development of new drugs. It is interesting prokaryotic cells that some biological products that are sold today Sandoz, two decades ago developed with us in a mixed research team, which included researchers from the Institute of Chemistry and Lek.
In the field of material sciences is engaged in the development and study materials, such as solar absorbers for heat storage cabinets for lithium batteries, fuel cells, catalysts. They are also important research in the field of engineering, analytics, food and environmental prokaryotic cells sciences.
In the field of life sciences was an important discovery that proteins prokaryotic cells under certain conditions, self-assembled into specific nanostructures, an article was published in the prestigious journal Nature Chemical Biology. In the field of materials is to highlight the research that we are doing for the Japanese Hondo, where it is developing a new generation of batteries for electric vehicles. It is interesting to note that the company has also commissioned a study that calm is one of the fundamental research, therefore, for such a distant future. When I asked them how it responded to what they need tomorrow, they know themselves. Honda year contract only two studies in Europe and one of them is with us.
It is the development of new battery technology for electric vehicles. Currently in electric vehicles, there is the problem of high prices, limited reach and security. Therefore, the automotive industry around the world invest in further research. prokaryotic cells The aim of our work is otherwise an abstract, we have committed ourselves that we explored prokaryotic cells the possibility of different electricity storage. Slightly more generally speaking it would be our research could lead to a few less expensive prokaryotic cells manufacturing of automotive batteries and significantly higher prokaryotic cells operating safety. So far, this is a one-year study, then the subscriber on the basis of the results and other factors to decide whether to continue on a larger scale, or the project will be abandoned.
We also have a more concrete project for batteries based on lithium-sulfur. This is a great European project, which is worth nearly four million euros, of which we get about a quarter. The consortium, which also Renault and Volvo, coordinate here in Ljubljana. Lithium-sulfur system in which we work is expected to be a few years to mature pilot tests, and will also be much cheaper and increase the capacity of automotive batteries.
The foundation stone was laid one year ago, the first idea, however, was born three and a half years. At that time we did not have even one euro earmarked funds, nor any powerful prokaryotic cells performances, how the project is carried prokaryotic cells out. We had a pretty strong reason to build, as it was planned purchase very expensive and sensitive experimental equipment in Slovenia is not yet. And, of course, is both necessary software installed somewhere - not just in every cellar. It is a software that requires particular purpose-built prokaryotic cells space. Example: A transmission electron microscope with chemical analysis - with it's prokaryotic cells power to look at atoms and their chemical analysis work - needs a place where there are absolutely no mechanical vibration. It is a high-performance instrument is like a Stradivarius. Each vibration to disturb the picture, especially when carried out chemical analysis. The area is also not normal atmosphere by venting, but instead are cooled walls are also covered with sound absorbent, and no 220-volt electrical system but only a 24 volt DC to avoid electrical interference. Microsoft is among the most powerful in this part of Europe - the nearest comparable devices are in Graz, Stuttgart and Istanbul.
For a full Pregelj center planned nine million, and now looks set to be as 800,000 euros cheaper. Microscope costing four million. The vast majority - about 80 percent - of funds for the building as well as equipment came from Brussels. The building was Slovenian resources only 2 million for equipment but a million.
Just so happy to explain our case. We are here to show you that even in the public institute managed so as to be expected from private companies with smart owners. Money is available, but p
