Vladimir A. Kozlov and his colleagues from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology have known about the recent earthquake in Turkey not only from the news program, but from their own data too. The seismic impulses were received by a device they created, funding being extended by the Russian Foundation for Basic research (RFBR) and Foundation for Assistance to Small Innovative Enterprises (FASIE). Thus, a molecular-electronic transducer designed, patented, and currently tested by the researchers has instantly proved its usefulness.
