The implementation of this project is aimed at developing a progressive technology for production of improved bituminous binders based on domestic petrochemical sources of raw materials. Efficient production technology, product quality and its transportation determine high economic efficiency of the project. The proposed technology consists in the development of a catalytic complex, with the help of...
The innovative product is going through the commercialization stage. IGPT scientists together with colleagues from the Jizzakh Polytechnic Institute have developed an innovative way to produce hydrogen from water using solar energy. “One of the main challenges in the hydrogen production process is its energy cost. Traditional hydrogen production methods, such as steam reforming of water or...
Scientists John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton are recognized “for fundamental discoveries and inventions” that enable machine learning using artificial neural networks. The methods they developed formed the basis for the creation of machine learning algorithms. “The awarding of the Nobel Prize in Physics this year is a vivid demonstration of the role of fundamental physics in the...
