"A scientist in his laboratory is not a mere technician: he is also a child confronting natural phenomena that impress him as though they were fairy tales."

- Marie Curie

Information about the developer:

The technology was developed by the Institute of Ion-plasma and Laser Technologies of the Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan. The Institute is one of the leading global centres in the fields of materials science, physical electronics, ion-plasma technologies, laser physics and technologies, and optics, including nonlinear, spectroscopy, and molecular physics. The Institute is known to the world community for the study of the interaction of corpuscular flows, plasma, and laser radiation with the surface of solid and nonlinear optical phenomena, as well as the use of charged particles and powerful laser radiation for targeted change and control of material properties. The activities of the Institute are aimed at solving scientific and technical aspects of the development of ion-plasma, laser, and other technologies in Uzbekistan and training highly qualified scientific personnel. The Laboratory of Applied Nanotechnologies of the Institute of Ion-Plasma and Laser Technologies, named after Aripov of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan, is the research base where the technology was developed. The laboratory specialises in the development of methods for the synthesis and characterisation of nanomaterials and also works with highly pure materials. The laboratory is proud to have licensed its developments to industry leaders such as Georg Fischer and Nippon Steele Corporation. It also implements its developments in various areas of Uzbekistan’s industry. Based on the technology developed in the laboratory, one of the largest mining companies in Central Asia, the Navoi Mining and Metallurgical Plant «Navai-Uran», has established the production of metallurgical rhenium powders for aerospace applications. In addition to grants for fundamental and applied research, the laboratory’s research group has won international grants and participated in scientific consortia with leading scientific institutes around the world. In particular, the research group was a member of the consortium that won the Horizon 2020 grant—EXCELLENT SCIENCE—Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions. The laboratory works very closely with business representatives. Among many pieces of research work, our technology for obtaining monosilane was developed with the participation and financing of business. Investment in the development of this technology was carried out by the South Korean company OCI, which is one of the leaders in its field, and this speaks of the trust of big business in our scientific group. The scientific group of the Laboratory of Applied Nanotechnology is very flexible in choosing research topics. But at the same time, it uses those research tools in which it is highly qualified and a culture of working with high-purity materials. Flexibility and openness to cooperation are among the main values of the scientific group. Yulduz Environment was created for the purpose of commercial promotion of technologies of the Laboratory of Applied Nanotechnology of the Institute of Ion-Plasma and Laser Technologies of the Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan. The company is the general and exclusive representative in the European market of innovative technologies and developments of the Laboratory of Applied Nanotechnology.
