TEHRAN (FNA)- The Iran Nanotechnology Initiative Council presented a review of achievements and events related to nanotechnology in Iran in the last Iranian year (March 21, 2011 to March 19, 2012).


Last year was full of various events and achievements related to nanotechnology in Iran. In that year, Iran ranked 12 in the world (until January 1, 2012) in the production of science by publishing numerous scientific papers in the creditable ISI journals. This position shows a two-step growth in Iran's rank in comparison with the previous year.

The Fourth International Nanotechnology Festival (Iran Nano 2012) was held in Iran last year. The international Asia Nano Forum was held too, simultaneously with the beginning of Iran Nano 2012 and over 30,000 visitors paid a visit to it.

In the previous year, many scientific conferences were held in Iran. Among the most important conferences, mention can be made of the Tenth and Eleventh Nanotechnology Conferences for University Students, and the Fourth International Conference on Nanostructures on Kish Island.

The presentation of five new production achievements in the country in the field of nanotechnology was among the most important achievements of Iran last year.

* The five new achievements were :

- a device to determine specific area (BET) of nanomaterials with the ability to characterize nanostructured materials,
- deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) device with the ability to create vertical and deep micrometric and nanometric structures,
- capillary electrophoresis device with the ability to quantitatively and qualitatively detect medicine,
- animal spectroscopy device (HiReSPECT) with the ability to take images from small animals, and
- Sinadoxosome nanomedicine.

In addition, 14 Nano Week Exhibitions were held in this year for students from 14 provinces of the country in order to introduce as much as possible the concepts and applications of nanotechnology to the students. During the organization of these courses, more than 27,000 students became familiar with nanotechnology.

I love hearing Iran doing well despite these sanctions. I remember sanctions make one self sufficient rather than cause any long term issues to the sanctioned and it would appear that is the case with Iran
 
we rank 14th all together, but in aspects we rank 4.
just wait a few years and you will see Iran shine.
we are the fastest growing scientific nation on the planet. growing 11x faster than anyone else.

Iran is doing phenomenal in the scientific studies and research, no doubt about that. Keep up the good work. :tup:

But it'll be hard to defeat US, Japan, Germany and UK in this field. My good wishes are with Iran.

Bdw i'm into Nanotechnology (Nanoelectronics)
 
Nano World: National ranking in nanotech - UPI.com

A nice article on current standings of nations, its bad that India faring poorly in this field.

we rank 14th all together, but in aspects we rank 4.

There i no mention of Iran whatsoever

The article has been written in 2005.
Iran started to take huge steps in nano tech after 2005,improving from rank 25 in 2009 to 14 in 2010.That's incredible,if not unbelievable,because in this world that countries have a close race in technology and science,improving your rank from 25 to 14 means you have done something great.
However,Iran still has a long way ahead to reach the league of big players.

I posted that article to show the evaluation criteria for judging a nation's standing in Nanotechnology research.
 
Love it or hate it but during Ahmadinejad's term Iran has done more than any other period in science and technology. From space launches to nano to pure science. I hope after he is gone in 2013, things continue and do not stop since in developing countries usually when politics changes the science and technology also follows. I hope the next Iranian president will be even more pro-science and technology.

You know I was just thinking that Pakistan had sanctions in 90s and the following 10 years we came out with indigenous production of JF17, Al khalid, Babur. maybe these sanctions are not a bad thing at all. Now Iran is reaping the benefits of sanctions. It shows when we have to we can

Not to mention our missile program which was entirely developed in 1990's.

Do you realize that NONE of those programs are actually 100% indigenous , not that we should have any credit for it but Sanctions actually put you on the low big time. In the case of Iran , its mainly imported stuff with paint jobs done or the stuff Iran makes itself uses the technology from the 70s ie the Saeqah Jets.
