'Iran ranks fourth in nanotech in world'

[darkhero]

I think in my earlier post I explained that there is no qualitative way to determine countries nanotechnology rankings, it depends on what you invent/discover and its significance, for example:

@ashok321 Sarkar is a popular Iranian family name! Mostly in Southwest far from India

I found Indians really like to take credits from others even there is just tiny indirect connection with them. So many examples in this forum.


Back to topic:
Why some people hate Iran so much? It is pathetic to use numbers of University nano labs and USPTO patents to judge a country's nanotechnology.

I bet one MIT lab is worth more than 50 U Alaska labs. And nanotechnology is often related to military, who want to apply patents in US?

Iran - good work.

Highly unlikely!

Please let us know of your credentials

I'm sorry if I'm being rude but the reality is that I highly doubt if you could have any clue about nanotechnology let alone to have any valid opinion that could have any worth or affect the opinion of people familiar with the science of nanotechnology.

After all extremism and science contradict each other.

According to NANO magazine the leading patenting countries for nano tech are;

You do realize that Nano Statistics - Home is an Iranian site, nano magazine cite statnano.com

And?

I think Sarkar is also an Iranian surname.

I think Patel is also an Iranian surname.

 

[Sam1980]

I think Patel is also an Iranian surname.

No, don't be silly Patel is a very famous Indian surname!
By the way, Sarkar in Persian is also used as some sort of respectful title.

But if anything, "Sarkar" might have been originated in Iran, not vice versa, so trying to link the two seem to be pretty counterintuitive on your part

And?

I wouldnt take seriously data from source which dont recognize a full member state of UN, there is no Israel in their data, the question is what other data they manipulate, exclude or falsify to suit they agenda.

@ashok321 Thanks! But where does it say that he is an Indian?
He actually emphasised the point quality over quantity!

Ok, it's not entirely related to this thread, but I personally read everything, whether its Press TV, Al Arabiya, Aljazeera, Haaretz, JPost, etc... (even bat$#@$ crazies like WND) then I make up my own mind. If you read the news carefully, you will notice the hypocrisies and lies of both sides, however its up to you and your analytical skills and most importantly the side you're on (which guarantees your interests) that lead you to the ultimate decision in whether to believe in something or not. While believing news coming from the opposing sides may be difficult to verify by the people who are supposedly "hostile", it's not the case with scientific news, because scientific articles are easily searchable, you could easily find the impact factors and even abstracts!

And to address your skepticism about the source, I have already provided you with links to IEEE and Scientific American, please read them (keep in mind that there is nothing about the rankings in either of them additionally author of that IEEE article is not quite fan of Iran either, but it still worth reading)

I think Patel is also an Iranian surname.

A lot of Indian words originated from Iran, such as Shah or sardar.

Iran is not like Persian Gulf Arab countries to allow Indian nationals many jobs. I highly doubt they would give such a high ranking job to a foreign national.
