"We have developed a more balanced amino acid profile — closer to ideal protein than before enrichment," explains Elena Kovaleva, head of the Laboratory.

Chemists have been working on it for over 4 years. The formulation and technology are patented.

Team from UrFU Laboratory of Biotransformation Technologies and Food Chemistry have created functional semi-hard (cheddar) and white mold cheeses, enriched with antioxidants — substances that protect the body from aging, inflammation, and reduce risks of disease.

In general, kefir improves glucose absorption in the intestine, insulin signaling, and has antioxidant activity (protects cells from stress), which together confirms its antidiabetic properties.

UrFU chemists studied the nutritional and microbiological value of the drink, as well as its effect on human and animal health.

Developers believe that with the help of the model and proper selection, designers will be able to save up to a quarter of the cost of sensors.

Employees of the Department of Industrial, Civil Engineering and Property Expertise and graduate students of the UrFU Chinese-Russian Institute have developed a model that suggests the most effective combination of seismic sensors for various types of buildings to engineers.

An article describing technology was published in the "Bulletin of PNRPU: Applied Ecology. Urban Development". URL: sciencedata.urfu.ru/portal/en/publ…

The researchers have developed an organic mineral modifier that increases the plasticity of the mixture and the density of the structure. This new material works for interior partitions, decorative elements, and thermal insulation boards.

Cement production is one of the main sources of CO₂ emissions in construction. Eco-friendly gypsum-ceramic concrete loses over 60% of its strength when wet — a major drawback. Existing solutions are expensive or complex.

These results highlight UrFU's growing strength in natural sciences, humanities, and engineering.

Ural Federal University has significantly improved its position, ascending in several key areas.

UrFU Reached New Heights in QS World University Rankings by Subject 2026!

🌟 The library has already been used to study the young protostar B335 (537 light-years away), revealing that about 30% of solid methane there is surrounded by carbon dioxide molecules.

Specialists from UrFU Astrochemical Research Laboratory have created a spectral library — a collection of infrared "fingerprints" of methane-containing interstellar ices.
