In the first half of the 20th century, Nazi Germany was distinguished by scientific achievements, where thousands of researchers worked to develop new military technology.

By the order of Joseph Stalin and Lavrentiy Beria, they were relocated In Sokhumi with other German scientists and their scientific research institutes were organized in sanatoriums.

After that, the two facilities merged and the organization was renamed "Postal Box 0908", which was run by General Alexander Kochlavashvili, a member of the Council of Ministers from Sinop.

Under his leadership, a masking electron microscope with permanent magnetic lenses and a transparent screen with a resolution of 30 nm was developed.

I shared our experience with Sukhumi employees, a group of industry experts, mathematicians and designers who implemented their own ideas of technical application and made the achievement possible.

After completing large-scale nuclear research at the institute, studies in various fields of physics began, including: SIPT has developed a "rhythm" (radioisotope thermoelectric converter) for powering Cardiostimulators.

A group of scientists led by Guram Bokuchava created the first digital portable pulse measuring device in the USSR, approved by the Ministries of Health of the Soviet republics.

According to the project of employees of subtropical agriculture of Georgia, Tsinaridze and Dadiani, the institute set up an "Ozone-1M" device, which contained an ionizing chamber, switches, blower and exhaust fans, a 6-quartz-mercury lamp – "DRT-400" for ozone and drying of tea leaf to 50% -60% humidity.

After the Chernobyl disaster, the institute started to study the radiation pollution of Western Georgia, as a result of which a corresponding map was created.

From 1991 to 2005, the Institute was subordinated to the State Committee for Science and Technology, and in 2006 it received the status of a legal entity under public law.
