The city announced bargaining for the right to enter into an agreement to implement a large-scale investment project (MaIP) in the Sokolinaya Gora district. The winner will be able to lease a 0.29-hectare plot of land at a preferential rate of one ruble per year. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Industry. Maxim Liksutov.

"The creation of new modern production facilities is a key factor in the development of Moscow's industry. To support investment projects in the real sector of the economy, by order of Sergei Sobyanin, the city is providing land plots to auction winners for the construction of new enterprises at a preferential rate of one ruble per year. For example, a plot of land on Burakov Street could be used to build a light industry facility with an area of two thousand square meters," said Maxim Liksutov.

Bidding is a promising mechanism for supporting industrial development and achieving technological sovereignty. The advantage of this approach is that the municipality carries out all necessary work in advance to prepare the land for use. This simplifies matters for the future owner: by winning the bid, they are relieved of the need to deal with administrative procedures. The investor can immediately begin designing the plant based on documents provided by the city.

"Given investor interest in the real sector of the economy and the growing demand for ready-made industrial infrastructure, all the sites we offer at auction are in high demand among businesses. Following the auctions, four agreements have already been signed for the implementation of industrial MAIPs," noted the Moscow Government Minister and Head of the Department of Investment and Industrial Policy.

Anatoly Garbuzov.

Thanks to agreements concluded following open auctions for the right to implement large-scale investment projects in the industrial sector, winning bidders can sign land lease agreements with the city for the construction of production facilities.

Ekaterina SolovievaThe Moscow Government Minister and Head of the Department of City Property added that the implementation of large-scale investment projects helps create conditions for business development and the creation of new jobs in the capital. Following open auctions held earlier this year, the city has already awarded investors two land plots totaling over 1.5 hectares in the Novokosino and Nekrasovka districts for the construction of modern industrial complexes. Entrepreneurs will be able to choose their own industrial uses for the nearly 20,000 square meter facilities, based on the approved list of permitted uses.

The organizer of the auction is Moscow City Department for Competition PolicyAs Kirill Purtov, the director of the project, noted, applications for the open auction for the right to sell the MAIP in the Sokolinaya Gora district will close on September 29, and the auction will take place on October 8. Registration on the Roseltorg online platform and an enhanced, qualified electronic signature are required to participate.

Over 100 large-scale investment projects have been approved and are being implemented in Moscow, creating industrial facilities across the city. The total volume of industrial construction under the Moscow Industrial Investment Program (MAIP) will exceed four million square meters. These plants will create approximately 60,000 jobs.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Since the beginning of 2025, 10,000 Moscow families have relocated across all districts of the capital under the renovation program. This was announced by the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Urban Development Policy and Construction. Vladimir Efimov.

"The steady pace of the renovation program is helping thousands of Muscovites improve their living conditions. New residents receive apartments with modern finishes, allowing them to move into their new buildings without incurring additional costs. Since the beginning of 2025, more than 10,800 families have moved into new apartments in accordance with the renovation program. Specifically, more than 3,000 families have celebrated housewarming in the Eastern Administrative District. About 1,600 families moved into the north of the city, and another 1,300 in the southeast," said Vladimir Efimov.

In total, about a million Muscovites will have their housing conditions improved as part of the renovation program.

"The key goal of the renovation program is not only to provide comfortable housing but also to provide comprehensive support to residents during the relocation process. Using the "Moving Assistance" service, Muscovites can order free movers and transportation to transport their belongings from their old apartment to their new one. Since the beginning of this year, 8,100 families have already used this service. In the east of the city, more than 2,200 families have used movers, and in the north, more than 1,400. Over a thousand more families have used the moving service in the South-Eastern Administrative District. You can order it through the mos.ru portal or at resettlement information centers, which are located on the ground floors of new buildings under the renovation program," added the Moscow Government Minister and Head of the Department of Urban Development Policy.

Vladislav Ovchinsky.

As noted in the capital Department of Information TechnologyFor Muscovites in the process of moving, the "Moving Under the Renovation Program" super service offers detailed, personalized instructions that are automatically customized for each resident and their situation, as well as electronic services and informational notifications. This will help speed up the move and make it more comfortable.

Earlier, Sergei Sobyanin spoke about a new building under the renovation program in the area Vernadsky Avenue.

The renovation program was approved in August 2017. It affects approximately one million Muscovites and provides for the resettlement of 5,176 buildings. The Moscow mayor ordered the pace of implementation of the renovation program to be increased.twice.

Innovation for Life: How Cutting-Edge Developments Are Helping Muscovites with Disabilities

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Moscow Government – Moscow Government –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Neural interfaces, exoskeletons, bionic prostheses, and transformable wheelchairs—these and other innovative devices were presented by developers at the Moscow Open Cybathletics Championship, held at the Phoenix Assistive Technology Center at VDNKh. This is the third citywide competition, combining athletics and willpower with the achievements of modern engineering and cutting-edge technology.

We explain how innovative assistive devices help people with disabilities perform familiar tasks and open up new opportunities.

Smart mirror and orthopedic trainer

Pavilion No. 37 (the Phoenix Assistive Technologies Center) at VDNKh hosted participants and spectators for all three days of the Moscow Open Cybathletics Championship. Athletes from across Russia demonstrated the capabilities of exoskeletons, neural interfaces, powered wheelchairs, and functional prosthetics, while Moscow and regional companies presented their latest developments.

The ground floor housed the "Innovation Showcase" exhibition. Russian manufacturers presented over 80 cutting-edge projects. Among them were a system for restoring hand motor function after stroke or injury, a platform for developing social skills in children, a smart mirror with speech therapy games, rehabilitation devices, bionic and cosmetic prosthetics, and other solutions designed to make life more comfortable for people with disabilities.

Moscow-based RehabMedical unveiled its latest invention, the "Dynamika" orthopedic trainer, designed to develop walking skills in children and adults. Its complex wheeled design supports the body's weight, allowing for upright posture and independent movement without restricting arm movement.

"The simulator helps develop motor skills in children with cerebral palsy and restore them after stroke, limb amputation, or spinal injury. Thanks to its sophisticated fastening system, dynamic frame, and adjustable height, it is suitable for the rehabilitation of patients of various ages, heights, and weights," explains the company's CEO, Natalia Kushvakha.

Adaptive frame, electric wheelchairs, and a gadget for the visually impaired

Sport is accessible to anyone who wants to move forward. This is confirmed by the unique developments of Adaptive Sport. The adaptive support frame for the SkyTekSport all-season ski training simulator allows people with disabilities to independently develop their physical abilities, not by fighting fear, but by overcoming it calmly and at their own pace.

Today, over 150 Moscow-based companies operate in the assistive technology sector. Some of them presented their innovative developments at the championship. The company "Ortez" showcased vibrant and stylish orthopedic devices for arms and legs, corsets, and head supports essential for injury rehabilitation. The company "Krust" created a unique gadget for the visually impaired, "Voice," with mobile internet and voice control. It allows users to listen to music and audiobooks, make calls, and take notes. And the company "Innovatika" developed a wireless device for the hearing-impaired that transmits sound directly to a hearing implant.

A separate stand was dedicated to modern wheelchairs. Some are powered by an electric motor, while others gain speed thanks to an electric attachment resembling the front of a scooter. The device is resistant to snowdrifts and steep slopes, and its removable battery allows for comfortable travel around the world.

Bionic prostheses and neural interfaces

At the Innovation Showcase exhibition, Moscow manufacturers presented a wide range of modern prosthetics. These included cosmetic and functional bionic hands, wrists, forearms, shins, and feet. The capabilities of these artificial limbs are also impressive: wrists rotate 360 degrees, and fingers bend at the joints. And bionic prosthetics with sensors and microprocessor control perform movements based on muscle impulses. Large-volume carbon and rubber overlays contribute to their aesthetic appeal.

"I lost both legs while serving in a special military operation. I received prosthetics, but the mechanical designs weren't particularly appealing. So I tried 3D-printing my own. The first ones were made of cardboard bonded with carbon fiber film, then plastic, and finally, I settled on practical rubber. Not long ago, I registered my brand, and the first orders have already arrived," shares Boris Petrikov, founder of Nolan.

Among the cutting-edge developments, the neurochat system created by the Moscow-based company of the same name deserves special attention. This innovative hardware and software system enables people with speech and movement impairments to communicate online. Using a wireless neurochat headset, users can mentally focus on specific letters and images highlighted on the screen and then send a message to the chat.

Guests and participants of the championship were able to test modern neurotechnology in the right wing of the pavilion. Neuroracing was held there. Red cars surrounded by orange cones were controlled solely by the power of thought. A "pilot" propelled them forward and stopped them at the finish line using a wireless neuroheadset worn like a headband.

"It's a very interesting technology. It's not always easy to control the car the first time; you need to really concentrate to get it going. I think developments like this could significantly make life easier for people with disabilities and be a step into the future," says championship participant Pavel Kachura.

Electric wheelchair racing

The championship's main event, the cybathletics track, hosted the cybathletics competition in seven disciplines. This year, three times as many participants applied as in the first season: 324 athletes from 46 regions of Russia, Belarus, and Kazakhstan. Of these, experts selected 130. Various tracks were prepared for the cybathletics competitors. Speed was required, but precision was also a factor.

"The courses were challenging, and the cybathletes pushed themselves to the limit. We change the tasks and routes every time, introducing new disciplines. Participants can come to the center at any time to prepare for the competition. The lineup of competitors changes year after year: this time, the majority of athletes competed in the lower-limb prosthetics categories, and they demonstrated exceptional skills," says Alexander Lyubinsky, Director of the Cybathletics Union.

One of the most spectacular was the "Electric Wheelchairs" category. Participants navigated obstacles simulating everyday environments: elevators, ramps, stairs, and public transportation. Judges recorded their time and accuracy, then tallied their scores. After a fierce and spectacular battle, second place went to Elena Lebedeva, a graduate of the Patrice Lumumba Peoples' Friendship University of Russia. Last year, she also won silver at the championship. Olga Persianova, meanwhile, once again took home the gold cup, completing the course in a record time of two minutes and 14 seconds.

"I've been using a wheelchair for 16 years now: I travel a lot around the city and use public transportation. I'm also developing the 'Wheelchair Football' project, which has an adult and youth team. I'll use the prize money to purchase a special wheelchair for the players," the winner shares.

The Phoenix Assistive Technology Center is a unique space for stimulating the growth of new developers and manufacturers of assistive technologies. The project, run by the Human Capital Development ANO, is being implemented for entrepreneurs in the field of assistive technologies, foundations, government organizations, and other companies involved in the industry.

An NSU astronomer captured comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon.

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Mikhail Maslov, an engineer at the Vega Observatory at Novosibirsk State University, captured this image of Comet C/2025 A6 Lemmon, which is currently only visible through amateur telescopes early in the morning. It will be one of the most striking astronomical events of the fall: its peak brightness will occur in late October and early November.

The comet was discovered relatively recently: on January 3, 2025, at the Mount Lemmon Observatory (USA), hence its name. It is a long-period comet: its orbital period is currently 1,369 years. Its perihelion (the comet's closest orbital distance to the Sun) is November 8, 2025, at a perihelion distance of 0.53 astronomical units.

"Brightness estimates for this comet have now been revised upward: in late October – early November, a brightness of approximately magnitude 4 is expected; previously, magnitude 6 was expected. This comet's brightening, ahead of the initial baseline forecast, was expected, as this is not the comet's first pass near the Sun, meaning, as astronomers say, it is not 'dynamically new.' In such comets, the most volatile substances from the surface of the nucleus have already largely evaporated during previous returns. Therefore, such comets, as they approach the Sun, exhibit a comparatively low brightness for their size (since the most volatile substances are relatively few in number). Then, closer to the Sun, when the more refractory components of the nucleus, such as water ice, begin to melt and evaporate, they increase their brightness quite sharply," explained Mikhail Maslov.

The comet was photographed around 4 a.m. on September 19, approximately 70 km from Novosibirsk, using a telescope with a focal length of 854 mm and an aperture of 2.8 f/2.0. The total shooting time was 31 minutes. The weather conditions were favorable: despite the presence of clouds, they nevertheless passed by and did not obscure the comet.

Another comet that will be observable from Russia this fall is C/2025 K1 ATLAS. This comet's brightness has also been revised upwards; in October-November, it is expected to reach magnitude 7 or 8 (previously, it was predicted to reach magnitude 9 or 10). It will be visible in amateur telescopes.

"The discovery of another bright autumn comet, C/2025 R2 SWAN, was recently officially announced. It's currently near its peak brightness—magnitude 7—but it's not yet visible at our latitudes. It will become visible around October 5-10, and by the end of the month and into November, it will be at a good altitude, although its brightness is waning," said Mikhail Maslov.

NSU astronomers advise astrophotographers to prepare in advance for the exciting autumn events.

"As they approach the Sun, comets' tails typically become more extended, and this tail may split into ionic (bluish-green gas) and dust (yellowish-white) components. Astrophotographers will have the opportunity to capture these beautiful hues of comet tails with their cameras," added Alfiya Nesterenko, head of the Vega Observatory at NSU.

NSU scientists have discovered new effects of liquid boiling in zero-gravity conditions on the ISS for the first time.

Translation. Region: Russian Federal

Source: Novosibirsk State University –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Scientists have made a significant breakthrough in understanding fundamental boiling processes Faculty of Physics of Novosibirsk State University and the S.S. Kutateladze Institute of Thermophysics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, working as part of one of the research teams of the large-scale international project RUBI (Reference mUltiscale Boiling Investigation). For the first time, they observed the growth of an individual bubble during liquid boiling in zero-gravity conditions on the ISS, described it, and created numerical models of its growth. In doing so, the researchers made significant advances in understanding fundamental boiling processes. Two articles presenting a detailed analysis of these unique experiments have been published in leading international journals: first article, second articleThis research was supported by the Russian Science Foundation under grants No. 21-79-10357 and 19-19-00695.

This large-scale international project was implemented aboard the ISS by an international scientific team under the auspices of the European Space Agency. To study individual vapor bubbles nucleating on a superheated substrate, the Reference Multiscale Boiling Investigation (RUBI) facility was built and delivered to the ISS. Conducting this experiment on Earth was impossible because gravity on our planet masks key physical mechanisms—bubbles quickly break away and are carried away by the Archimedes force, and natural convection significantly influences temperature distribution in liquids. Thanks to zero gravity, the ISS became an ideal "laboratory," allowing the bubbles to remain on the heater and grow to sizes unusual for terrestrial conditions. It provides a particularly suitable environment for studying individual vapor bubbles nucleating on a superheated substrate and the mechanisms involved. This was the first such experiment with a single vapor bubble on an artificial vapor center under carefully controlled conditions on the ISS, where the bubble grows to large sizes without detachment and in the absence of natural convection.

The boiling process is used in many industrial applications for matter and energy conversion devices. We can also observe it in nature—for example, in geothermal geysers or during volcanic eruptions. While a vast amount of scientific research has been conducted on boiling, scientists have focused on integral boiling parameters, which are crucial for engineering problems. The growth of an individual bubble can also be considered an elementary boiling process, so for a detailed study of boiling mechanisms, it is advisable to focus specifically on individual bubbles. This has never been done before in zero gravity due to the complexity of the process itself. The difficulty lies in the fact that the physics of boiling depends on many factors, and despite numerous long-term studies, a complete understanding of all multi-scale phenomena remains. Experiments in zero gravity conditions can shed light on these phenomena. In zero gravity, bubbles can grow in size without premature detachment. Thus, boiling phenomena can be observed on larger spatial and temporal scales with better resolution. At the same time, boiling in zero-gravity conditions is itself a subject of research that is important for space missions, explained Fyodor Ronshin, a senior lecturer at the NSU Physics Department.

Conditions close to weightlessness can also be achieved on Earth using short-term zero-gravity platforms. Initially, scientists used ground-based structures such as drop towers, then parabolic flights, and sounding rockets. However, these capabilities were clearly insufficient for studying bubble formation during liquid boiling, as zero-gravity conditions were created only for a few seconds or minutes. In this case, longer periods of time were required, achievable only on the International Space Station (ISS). It is here, thanks to the stable conditions of zero-gravity, that long-term experiments can be conducted. Zero-gravity provides a particularly suitable environment for studying individual vapor bubbles nucleating on a superheated substrate and the mechanisms involved.

"The specially designed RUBI setup was delivered to the ISS six years ago. The experiment continued until 2021, when it was returned to Earth. During this time, scientists from five international research teams were able to observe its progress from Earth, monitor instrument readings, and access data online. The results were discussed and analyzed weekly. The setup was a sealed cell. The working fluid was FC-72, a dielectric fluid used to cool electronics. It was housed inside the cell. The bubble growth dynamics were visualized using a high-speed black-and-white camera on the side and a high-speed infrared camera underneath. The setup was also equipped with a fluid circulation loop that generated the flow. It was possible to set the fluid temperature, pressure, heat flux on the heater, and the time between heater activation and the laser pulse that initiates bubble formation. All of this was necessary to cover the entire range of parameters for constructing models of the observed processes," explained Fyodor Ronshin.

A short (20 millisecond) laser pulse was used to form a single vapor bubble on an artificial nucleation site. The bubble then grows under the influence of Joule heating. This process occurs inside the cell. The setup was also equipped with microthermocouples, which could be placed at various locations within the chamber to determine the temperature distribution within the liquid. It was also possible to study the effect of shear flow, which could be used to remove bubbles. Furthermore, the chamber contained an electrode that generated an electric field, which could cause the bubble to detach from the substrate (analogous to Archimedes' force on Earth).

Our research currently focuses on the results of a single-bubble growth experiment, with particular attention to the effect of liquid subcooling (the difference between the saturation temperature and the liquid temperature). This allows us to better understand the dynamics of single vapor bubble growth in zero-gravity conditions, with particular attention to the role of dissolved (non-condensable) gases. The experimental results are confirmed by numerical simulations based on the developed model. Some observed phenomena, such as the absence of bubble collapse and the subsequent resumption of bubble growth, proved difficult to explain without the assumption of the presence of non-condensable gases, despite careful degassing of the working fluid. The model was appropriately modified to test this picture of the phenomenon, which included Marangoni thermocapillary convection induced by dissolved gases in the liquid. "We found that in our case, the presence of even a small amount of dissolved gases (~1%) after thorough degassing has a positive effect on heat transfer because the superheated liquid is distributed along the bubble, moving away from the heater toward the top of the bubble, and the bubble doesn't condense, but continues to evaporate and grow faster. This allows for more efficient heat transfer," explained Fyodor Ronshin.

As a result of experiments conducted aboard the International Space Station using the RUBI facility in conjunction with advanced numerical modeling, scientists modified the numerical model to account for noncondensable gases and thermocapillary effects, which was in good agreement with experimental observations. Accounting for these factors eliminated discrepancies between subcooling conditions. The researchers also concluded that the presence of noncondensable gases within a bubble significantly affects its survival and growth dynamics, ensuring bubble survival even under conditions of relatively high subcooling that would otherwise collapse pure vapor bubbles. They noted that thermocapillary convection, driven by temperature gradients along the bubble surface caused by the presence of noncondensable gases, enhances heat and mass transfer near the interface. This phenomenon promotes intensified evaporation at the base of the bubble and reduces the intensity of condensation at its apex, facilitating its stable growth.

"Under terrestrial conditions, the influence of dissolved gases in a liquid can be suppressed by natural convection. In zero gravity, this does not occur, and their manifestation generally has a positive effect on bubble growth. We have discovered that by varying the concentration of dissolved gases in a liquid, we can influence the processes of bubble formation and growth. Using this data, we will be able to predict bubble growth in liquids with any concentration of dissolved gases, including in space," concluded Fyodor Ronshin.

Studying bubble growth in zero-gravity conditions without external forces is only part of the research, which is now complete. However, the RUBI experiment was not limited to this. Now, scientists will explore it under more complex conditions—for example, under the influence of an electric field, using the bubble removal method, and under varying electric field intensities. According to Fyodor Ronshin, the data received from the ISS will be sufficient for at least another five years of work. The results obtained will have both fundamental significance for the physics of heat and mass transfer and boiling, as well as practical applications—they will enable the development of more efficient cooling systems for spacecraft and orbital stations, where boiling is a promising method for removing high heat fluxes in zero-gravity conditions.

Deputy Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Chernyshenko met with Minister of Tourism and Sports of the Republic of Kazakhstan Yerbol Myrzabosynov.

The event was also attended by Russian Minister of Sport Mikhail Degtyarev, Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia Dmitry Vakhrukov, Special Representative of the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs for International Sports Cooperation Mikhail Khorev, and Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Kazakhstan to the Russian Federation Dauren Abayev.

"In the current geopolitical situation, Kazakhstan and Russia remain close friends, true allies, and strategic partners. The foundation of our bilateral relations is the comradely and deeply trusting relationship between our national leaders – Russian President Vladimir Putin and Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. During a working visit to Kazakhstan on September 10, 2025, together with Kazakh Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov, we discussed cooperation between the two countries in various areas," noted Dmitry Chernyshenko.

The Deputy Prime Minister thanked the Kazakh delegation for its athletes' participation in the five sports included in the St. Alexander Nevsky International Sports Games and invited them to the "Russia – Power of Sports" International Sports Forum.

Dmitry Chernyshenko also focused on cooperation in the tourism sector.

"Kazakhstan is one of the top three most popular destinations abroad for Russians. In the first half of 2025, total tourist flow amounted to 2.3 million trips," he reported.

Minister of Tourism and Sports of the Republic of Kazakhstan Yerbol Myrzabosynov noted the regular exchange of invitations to conferences and exhibitions.

"In April 2025, Russian tour operators participated in the 23rd Kazakhstan International Tourism and Travel Exhibition in Almaty. Today, this platform, which brings together approximately 500 companies from various countries, serves as a forum for dialogue and the exchange of experiences. Russia presented stands representing the Altai Krai and St. Petersburg. The Altai Krai is actively developing as an eco-friendly destination. In winter, it offers ski resorts, and in summer, it offers hiking trails, agritourism, and ecotourism. Russia has enormous tourism potential and a wealth of experience," he said.

During the meeting, Yerbol Myrzabosynov requested assistance in organizing the Kazakh delegation's visit to the Altai Krai. He noted the country's developing Chimbulak ski resort, which has already become a popular year-round destination. Last year, it was visited by approximately 1.5 million people.

Yerbol Myrzabosynov also reported that in 2024, Kazakhstani athletes participated in more than 30 sporting events.

"Russia is a sporting power. We value your experience in training athletes for major competitions. It's important for us to learn from this experience and develop joint projects," he added.

Sports Minister and Chairman of the Russian Olympic Committee Mikhail Degtyarev noted that, at the request of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is discussing with colleagues from Kazakhstan an initiative to hold international competitions next year with the participation of SCO member states in an open format. This will be a new starting point for the development of sports.

"Kazakh athletes participate in many Russian competitions every year. The Alexander Nevsky Games were held in St. Petersburg in September. I thank the Kazakh side for sending a team – the results were very good. Our athletes will soon meet in Azerbaijan at the CIS Games. The first CIS Winter Spartakiad for children with disabilities will be held in Ufa in December. We look forward to welcoming the Kazakh delegation. I would especially like to thank my colleagues from Kazakhstan for their support of Russian athletes on international stages. We feel this solidarity and appreciate it," said Mikhail Degtyarev.

Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Russia Dmitry Vakhrukov reported that the key indicators of the national project "Tourism and Hospitality" demonstrate a targeted and measurable approach.

"We intend to increase the industry's contribution to GDP to 5%, ensuring an increase in tourist arrivals by 50 million. This will be achieved, in part, by welcoming 16 million foreign visitors by 2030 and by growing domestic demand. Total investment in the industry by 2030 is estimated at 3.5 trillion rubles, with over 75% coming from private sources. Our goal is to ensure that every ruble invested in the budget yields a multiple return. This is an ambitious but calculated goal, achievable through consolidated efforts with the regions and businesses," emphasized Dmitry Vakhrukov.
