Iran has launched the first phase of constructing its first-ever light source facility designed by Iranian experts, in what has been described as the largest technological project in the country’s scientific history.
The national accelerator project was launched during a ceremony on Wednesday, with Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Ali Akbar Salehi and Sorena Sattari, vice president for science and technology, in attendance.
Synchrotron first invented by American physicist Luis Walter Alvarez, is a type of particle accelerator in the form of a circular ring that generates electromagnetic radiation.
The synchrotron radiation provides a powerful possibility for studying the molecular structure and changes in the shape and composition of cells during chemical reactions. It is used in various research and applied fields in physics, electronics, medical sciences, radiotherapy, pharmacology, industry, biology, environment, and archeology, among others.
The Iranian light source facility project has been designed as the first large-scale laboratory for nanotechnology research and interdisciplinary studies in Iran and is meant to meet the technical and professional needs of scientists and researchers.
The first stage of the plan involves its general, conceptual and infrastructural design, and the second step will feature the formation of research and development (R&D) units.
Iran’s light source facility includes an electron storage ring with a circumference of 528 meters, in which electrons are stored with an energy of 3 gigaelectron-volts (GeV), current of 400 milliampers (mA) and emission of 0.477 nanometers (nm).
It will be established north of Imam Khomeini International University (IKIU) in the city of Qazvin in an area of 50 hectares, with some facilities already set up there.
Currently, physicists and engineers with different specialties are directly working on the project. Additionally, about 200 scientists, researchers and professors from various universities, scientific centers and industrial companies in Iran and abroad are contributing to the plan.
 
I just read all this thread. I might've missed it but where's the cutting edge technology ?? lol
 
Obviously this is beyond your paygrade.
Obviously.. so show me the cutting edge technology anyways?? Why's it so hard?
How much paygrade do I need to see this amazing cutting edge technology :lol:

Iran's world class national telescope was inaugurated some three weeks ago. All components of the telescope except for the mirrors are domestically produced.

It is considered among the top five in the world as far as the size of the mirror and quality of pictures it can take are concerned.

Iranian National Observatory inaugurated

June 28, 2021 - 17:3

TEHRAN – The Iranian National Observatory (INO), which is said to kick off a big movement in the area of astronomy in the country, was inaugurated near the city of Kashan, central Isfahan province, on Monday.
The project places Iran among the ten countries in the world capable of manufacturing observatories, ISNA reported.

INO has been built on Gargash peak at an altitude of 3600m above sea level.

The main activities of the national observatory include designing, construction, monitoring, and operating the 3.4-meter INO340 telescope, its instruments, and infrastructures. The range of instruments initially planned for the telescope includes a wave-front sensor, auto-guider, imaging CCDs, and a high-resolution spectrograph.

The INO340 telescope is a Ritchey-Chrétien f/11 which provides unvignetted 20 arcmin field of view at the main Cassegrain focus. In addition, 3 bent focuses are also provided each with a field of view of 8 arcmins. The primary mirror is meniscus shaped and the secondary mirror is convex and together they form a well-corrected focus.

The main mirror (M1) is a single-segment fast f/1.5 mirror with a diameter of 3.4m, which makes IN340 one of the most compact telescopes of this size. M1 is a meniscus shape 18 cm thick made of a Zerudor ceramic with a 700mm central hole. The M1 is supported by 60 actuators that are actively or passively controlled to keep the mirror shape undistorted under its own gravity at different points.

INO is a national project and has been envisioned to become an international scientific platform for astronomy in the future. Therefore, educating the general public and especially the younger generation about the basics of astronomy is another important step ahead of the INO project.

An important focus of these activities is the residents close to the area around the INO site whose lifestyles can directly affect the workflow of the INO observatory. So far, about 1,400 students from 22 schools in towns and villages close to the Gargash site have been educated about the basics of astronomy and the effects of light pollution on the INO observatory. Furthermore, the project is using social media to engage the general public with the project.

Rouhani Inaugurates Iran’s Biggest Observatory

14000107000623_Test_PhotoN.jpg


TEHRAN (FNA)- The Iranian National Observatory, the biggest in the country, was inaugurated and put into operation near Kashan city in Central Iran in a ceremony participated virtually by outgoing President Hassan Rouhani and Vice-President for Science and Technology Sorena Sattari.

The observatory has been built at a height of 3,600 meters on Mountain Gargash in Kashan.

The observatory's 90-ton telescope has 40,000 pieces, all designed and built indigenously. It enjoys a high-quality mirror and imaging site and is one of the top sites in the world.

Addressing the ceremony, Rouhani said that Iran now stands among the countries with big observatories which can extend studies of the Iranian scientists in a big world.

Also, Manager of the project of the Iranian National Observatory Habib Khosroshahi said that the observatory is the first major scientific project in the country that has been approved by experienced scientific consultants in the world.

“Making hydrostatic bearings for telescope suspension, designing and manufacturing an active optical system and testing multi-meter optical surfaces with multi-nanometer smooth surface surfaces are among the new technologies used in this observatory,” he added.

Khosroshahi explained that the important technical achievement of this project is the engineering of opto-megatronic systems, meaning the combination of optics, mechanics, hardware and control software inside a 90-ton structure in large dimensions with a 4-ton mirror.

"With the help of this telescope, massive galaxies can be observed at a distance of 66,000 billion billion kilometers. More than 100,000 electronic, mechanical and optical parts have been used to build this observatory, and I am proud to announce that the Iranian National Observatory has been made in Iran,” he said.

Iranian National Observatory (INO) was built by Iranian engineers and scientists. By inauguration of the project, Iran now stands among the top 10 producers of telescope in the world.

Rouhani virtually inaugurated five national knowledge-based projects on Monday.

National Observatory of Kashan Institute of Basic Sciences, Tehran University development plan for electric bus, and the permanent exhibition of exports of knowledge-based products in Tehran Permanent Fairground were inaugurated in Tehran, Isfahan and Kermanshah provinces.

Innovative houses in Kashan, Isfahan, and Tehran; and science and technology park innovation factory in Kermanshah were opened upon president Rouhani's order.

Thanks @SalarHaqq my friend for this update ..I am very glad it is officially operational... I initially reported this on Page 2 and page 3 of this thread and now 6 months later it is up and running doing research...can not be happier..lol
 
Nope, Saudi is not a leader in Sunni Muslim, but yes it has respectable position among us. If Saudi has huge influence among Sunni Muslim so why many Sunni Muslims like Indonesia has good relation with Iran ???

Indonesia as one country has the population comparable with whole Arab countries combined, not to mention Pakistan, Bangladesh, Turkey, Afganistan, Central Asian countries, Malaysia

i think of Indonesia as Indonesia
