. According to Feiler, this kind of unprecedented opportunities to attract great minds of Russia and China in the best universities in the US to work in an environment that "will give a more accurate and reliable data than the mundane trials and simulations»

.



"We can see some dirty environment, in which many things will occur. In many existing laboratories in mainly untouched environment in which you must commit changes, but you need a certain pitch between these laboratories and the present market, where you can see what will work in real life, "- he explained
