Thanks, Wafa. .....The U.S. and Russian scientists involved in this project owe their collaboration to the U.S. Office of Naval Research, which sponsored the work in an effort to promote international cooperation among scientists in the post-Cold War era. The films were made and tested in Moscow, and the speed of the detector was measured at the University, whose engineers have long been known for their expertise in ultra-fast measurements. This is just another part of an interesting pattern of activity that includes the International Space Station. In the private sector, a private company in Florida called Gemisis(?) is trying to commercialize Russian technology that has the promise of mass-producing artifical diamonds that they are trying to sell as abrasives and gemstones, among other applications.
