In Russia, researchers have developed an analogue to a popular item-tracking device, aiming to help people recover lost belongings. This development was highlighted in a report by Prime agency through a Telegram channel post. The new device appears in the form of a GPS-enabled sticker that contains a tracking module. When attached to an item, it shows the item’s location on a mobile map and emits an audible alert to aid retrieval. The technology is framed not only for everyday use but also as a potential tool for monitoring children and older adults who may require additional supervision.
Beyond tracking devices, Russian scientists are showcasing advances that could influence daily nutrition. A team at a prominent biotechnology university has introduced a novel method for producing flour from soybean meal. The resulting flour is presented as heart-healthy, with the potential to lower cholesterol, support metabolism, and supply high levels of protein, fiber, iron, manganese, and potassium. The inventor, Roman Kandrokov, an associate professor at the Department of Grain, Baking and Confectionery Technologies, explains that soy proteins are well absorbed and that soybeans bring a range of beneficial compounds to the diet.
In related developments from Russia, there has also been progress in ultra-precision welding of glass and metal, another area drawing interest from researchers and industry observers.
