Russia's Kurchatov Research Institute has announced plans to open two research centers at the Skolkovo high-tech hub near Moscow.

The announcement was made at an innovation forum in the Russian capital on Wednesday.

"We are creating one center [to study] photodiode technologies and the other for spray coating technologies," Institute Director Mikhail Kovalchuk told RIA Novosti.

The institute houses Europe's oldest nuclear reactor and developed the country's first atomic bomb in 1949.

President Dmitry Medvedev's modernization pet, Skolkovo, dubbed Russia's answer to Silicon Valley, is being built from scratch 20 kilometers outside of Moscow.
