• premises and technology infrastructure for business.

Fundamental and applied research

In the "STP" conducts fundamental and applied research on the global level to national and international projects. Fundamental and applied researches are carried out on concrete results with the possibility of transfer of research institutions in the plane of their practical application. On the level of the studies show the results:

• Developed high-tech cryogenic technologies and production lines created on the basis of their pilot production, adapted to the industrial environment in Kazakhstan;
• Development of high technology and based on these high-tech systems for the processing of mineral and biological resources of Kazakhstan;
• Development of scientific and technological bases of plasma technology, and based on these equipment for power engineering;
• Developed and implemented advanced energy-saving technology and heat-conditioning
• Research results are implemented at the existing thermal power plants in Kazakhstan to optimize combustion efficiency and in order to reduce harmful emissions into the atmosphere;
• Developed a unique system of hot-wire devices for measuring the characteristics of turbulent flows;
• determined diffusion coefficients for 20 pairs of gases that are included in directories in the base governmental standart;
• the phenomenon of diffusion instability in multicomponent gas systems;
• designed and manufactured cryogenic equipment, which has been successfully used at a number of enterprises of Almaty.

In Technopark focused on developing innovative projects, one of it’s project - "Development and implementation of a campus of Al-Farabi environmentally friendly technology for processing organic fraction of municipal solid waste." The new eco-friendly and inexpensive technology vermicomposting widely and successfully will used in Kazakhstan for processing various types of organic waste, including the organic fraction of MSW. The competitiveness of the produce is not in doubt because of the actual waste will be received high feed additives.

"The development of hardware and software of the vehicle and the creation of an experimental prototype nano-satellite", whose goal is the development of hardware and software of the vehicle and the creation of an experimental prototype first student nanosatellite Kazakhstan and ground testing of experimental model to further nanosatellite launch into space.

The activities of "STP" in this area is directly integrated with the activities of the country's flagship university’s system country, Kazakh National University named after Al-Farabi on the training of competitive highly qualified personnel.

According to the results of published publications in leading journals are peer-reviewed in Kazakhstan and abroad: Physical Review A, B, C, D; Physical Letters; Status Solidi; Physics Plasma; PlasmaDevices and Operations; Impact factors of log data is very high. Over 35% of all rating publications scientists RK researchers are publishing "STP". The total index Hirsch ~ 160.

"NTP" has a specialized research equipment for applied and basic research in the natural sciences and engineering (physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology and other pulsatile)

Employees "NTP" received 32 titles: patents RK entrepreneurial patents, innovation patents, copyrights evidence of intellectual property.Over the past five years it has increased by 2.3 times compared with the initial period of implementation."NTP" has great potential for the policy in patent activities, support of projects at national and international levels.

In 2010-2012y. were applied and received two innovation patent: Design and manufacture of a laboratory model of the wind power plant, with the system de-icing

(Scientific source: Professor, Academician of the National Academy of Sciences of Kazakhstan Sh.A.Ershin, Ph.D., Associate Professor RK Manatbaev) № patent: Russian Federation № 2447318

For the successful commercialization of research is currently being carried out international patents. Unlike competitors authors patents are not only teachers, but also bachelors, masters and doctoral of KazNU promotes in preparing highly qualified personnel In the "STP" pays great attention to the development of innovations (support innovative projects, infrastructure development, education, hospitality, etc.), according to the Law of RK "On state support of innovation", 2008). "STP" in international cooperation on the basis of the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan and international agreements with potential business partners: from JSC "Institute of Organic Catalysis and Electrochemistry maned after D.V. Sokolsky ", State Enterprise" West Kazakhstan Agro-Technical University named after Zhangir Khan ", State Enterprise" East Kazakhstan State University named after Sarsen Amanzholova ", State Enterprise" Karaganda State Technical University ", State Enterprise" Karaganda State University named after Academician E.A. Buketov "etc.

"STP" is the leader in the Republic of Kazakhstan to participating in various scientific and technical programs, and implementing agreements on physical, technical and chemical-technological, biological and mathematical fields of science, but in 2012 a cooperation agreement with - BLTP Dubna (Russia) - International cooperation on joint research program "Physics of heavy and exotic hadrons", Russian Chemical-Technological University named after Mendeleev, Russia, Moscow; Belarusian State University named after A.N. Sevchenko, National Research, Tomsk Polytechnic University, Institute of High Technologies, Moscow Institute of Electronic Technology, Moscow State University named after Lomonosov. That university, which will help to ease high-tech products to foreign markets and attract foreign investment and technology transfer.
