Ghanbar Naderi, Press TV, Tehran
Iran began its nanotechnology program back in 2001 and quickly became first in the production of nanotechnology and nano-science in the region and the Muslim world. It is now among the world's top 15, that according to the officials at the Iran Nanotechnology Initiative Council.
The INIC official told Press TV that Iran is also among few countries that have compiled a National Nanotechnology Plan. Being the 15th in nanotechnology, he says, is also a major progress because Iran was 59 back in 2000.
Under Iran's Ten-Year Nanotechnology Plan, the priorities in nanotechnology development are energy, health, environment, water, materials and construction.
Sarkar predicted that nanotechnology would be a multi-billion-dollar market and that under the right circumstances Iran should enjoy a 2% share of this lucrative business in the coming years.
Asadifard said, however, that the ultimate goal is to create new job opportunities and generate wealth nationwide through the development of nanotechnology.
Iran has been chosen to host the next Asia Nano Forum. The regional gathering will be held on the sidelines of the 4th International Nanotechnology Festival and the Grand Industries Exhibition.

By exploiting the powers of nanotechnology and taking advantage of nontoxic, Earth-abundant materials, Berkeley Lab's Cyrus Wadia has fabricated new solar cell devices that have the potential to be several orders of magnitude less expensive than conventional solar cells. And, by mastering the chemistry of these materials—and the economics of solar energy—he envisions bringing electricity to the 1.2 billion people now living without it.

Senior cleric Ayatollah Mohammad Emami Kashani welcomes the Iranian president\\\'s UN address in which he called for an independent probe into the 9/11 incident.
Tehran\\\'s interim Friday Prayers leader questioned the angry response of members of Washington\\\'s delegate, who left the UN General Assembly session, to a call that \\\"many in the world have welcomed.\\\"
\\\"Iran\\\'s argument means that your word should not be the only one dominating the world because the international community and even the American people no longer buy these words,\\\" he was quoted by IRNA as saying.
In his September 22 speech at the UN General Assembly in New York, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad raised doubts about the credibility of Washington\\\'s account of the source and nature of the attacks indicating that a \\\"very powerful and complex terrorist group, able to successfully cross all layers of the American intelligence and security, carried out the attack.\\\"
Ahmadinejad said despite the cited claim many throughout the world believe that \\\"some segments within the US government orchestrated the attack to reverse the declining American economy and its grips on the Middle East in order also to save the Zionist regime [of Israel].\\\"
\\\"Nations welcome a probe into this incident, but you accused others with [your] incoherent talk and blamed them for the attacks and massacred and violated the innocent people of Afghanistan,\\\" Ayatollah Emami Kashani said, addressing the US government.
\\\"Considering what you have done, no one trusts you anymore; you have numerous prisons in which you torture detainees,\\\" the cleric charged.
Ayatollah Emami Kashani further downplayed Western sanctions against Iran, saying such measures could not shake the Iranian people and government and will yield no result other than the \\\"awakening of the Iranian nation and elites.\\\"
The prominent cleric attributed the recent announcement of Iran\\\'s self-sufficiency in gasoline production and the progress achieved in the field of nanotechnology to a scientific movement triggered by sanctions.

Iran produces carbon nanotubes - oct 1, 2011 - English

A black powder with amazing properties indicating that we may not be very far from realizing what we've been reading about in science fiction novels. Just add a pinch of this powder to anything to make it more than100 times stronger.
This black powder actually consists of tube shaped molecules made of carbon. Like other forms of pure carbon it gets its strength from the strong bonds between carbon atoms. Adding only a few grams of this powder can greatly improve the quality of almost any product while reducing its weight. So we can have stronger buildings cars and even it is possible to weave super-strong bulletproof fabric.
The Carbon Naotube promises to revolutionize many industries. Still a hot topic in the world of nano-technology since it was discovered in 1991 the continuous production of carbon nanotubes remains a challenge for scientist worldwide. Iran has managed to take a leap.
In the research institute of petroleum industries it has taken the scientists 10 years to produce these nano tubes.
The continuous production of up to 20 kilograms of Carbon Nanotubes is now possible in the institute using the Iranian designed reactor which has slashed the time required to synthesize this amazing product to 15 times less than similar procedures worldwide.
The ten member team working on this project prepared to share the technical know-how they've acquired in order to heat hydrocarbon gases to 800 to 1000 degrees Celsius with the right catalyst to start the formation of the tubes. Molecules one-sixth the weight of steel but 100 times stronger. In fact the strongest material ever discovered with huge applications
The successful completion of the pilot project to synthesize continuous carbon nanotubes will now be taken to the next level. Iran's private sector is already negotiating to establish units capable of producing up to 100 kilograms a day only to imitate what mother nature ha been doing for 100s of millions of years… engineering strength into the bodies of molecules one atom at a time.

Only two days before Iran's fourth Nanotechnology exhibition 5 new nano products unveiled on Monday promise an impressive collection on display this year.
Nano-Capillary Electrophoresis that makes the study and identification of single molecules possible; a nanospectrometer which can help identify the properties different chemical compounds; a Deep reactive ion etching or DRIE... a tool that can deposit thin films of material making the production of nanostructures possible. And ... a high resolution nano-imaging system
The nano-imaging system has great applications for drugs that undergo preclinical or animal testing. It can provide a high resolution image of the body of the animal and show the researchers exactly how their bodies have reacted to the drug.
Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad hailed the efforts made by societies and researchers who have managed to break the western monopoly on hi-tech nano products.
Despite political pressures and economic sanctions Iranian scientists have managed to make great advancement and take impressive steps in nano technology.
While the most eye-catching product unveiled is nano-drug that can be used to effectively cure cancer.
This drug is produced only in one country and the price is around $2000. Now patients in Iran can get it for half to one third of that price and as President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Monday the costs will be covered by insurance
Doxorubicin is a compound that destroys cancer tumors but it also has terrible side effects. The nanoliposom form only targets the tumors not healthy cells of the body.
The new drug has received the approval of the food and drug division of Iran's Health ministry and will hit the market soon.
