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.

On Wednesday 5th October 2011 Iran's president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad unveiled 5 new nanotechnology products. Four of them are high tech nanotechnology laboratory tools and the fifth is a drug that cures cancer. Iranian scientists have taken a strong interest in nanotechnology, planning to contribute considerably to this new science, despite the obstacles. In this edition of the show we'll be looking at Iran's latest developments in the nanotechnology field. `

[04 Feb 2013] Iran ranked top ten in the world in nanotechnology - English

After a decade of dedication Iran has made leaps and bounds in a relatively new but undoubtedly revolutionary science, nanotechnology.

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.

The staging of the Iranian Hi - Tech Expo at the fairgrounds in Damascus coincides with the thirty-second anniversary of Iran's Islamic Revolution. The exhibition highlights Iran's advances in nanotechnology, airplane manufacturing, medicine, oil and gas industry, IT, telecommunications and renewable energy. The exhibition is an opportunity to open new prospects for cooperation between Syria and Iran. The Iranian noticeable presence at the exhibition is part of the extraordinary cooperation between the two countries in all fields.

Paul Alivisatos, co-leader of Berkeley Lab's Helios Project, is the Associate Director for Physical Sciences and director of the Materials Sciences Division at Berkeley Lab. In the Helios Project, Alivisatos will use nanotechnology in the efficient capture of sunlight and its conversion to electricity to drive economical fuel production processes. He is an authority on artificial nanostructure synthesis and inventor of the quantum dot technology. His talk was presented May 14, 2007.

On June 27th 2011, Iran's revolutionary guard launched a ten day military maneuver. Various missiles were tested. Among them were Shahab 3A and 3B, Iran's first medium-range ballistic missiles. Nine Zelzal solid propellant missiles and the Fateh 110, which is a single stage solid- propellant, surface to surface missile with very high accuracy. And another major part of the maneuver was the unveiling of one of Iran's secret underground silos, from which

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.
