A young Iranian cancer patient. Iranian scientists have successfully reduced the side effects of a cancer drug by infusing it with nanotechnology. Researchers at the Tabriz University of Medical Sciences discovered that the side effects of the drug Mitoxantrone could be reduced when the chemotherapeutic agent is infused with liposomic nanocarriers, which are created with cholesterol derivatives, IRNA... 

The unit works by harvesting electrical energy from the patient’s minute body movements to stimulate the heart. A team of Korean scientists have invented a self-powered semi-permanent cardiac pacemaker using advanced nanotechnology. The pacemaker designed by a research team from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) operates semi-permanently by utilizing a flexible piezoelectric... 

A truly frightening “Red Alert” report prepared by Health Care Minister Veronika Skvortsova on the mysterious deaths of nearly 200 children in the Indian State of Bihar earlier this month says that our world has suffered its first “nano-disaster” and warns that an “apocalyptic event” involving nanotechnology is much nearer than anyone will admit. Nanotechnology (sometimes shortened to... 

A three-dimensional image of a single-atom transistor Scientists have built a one-atom nano-transistor by placing a tiny phosphorous atom within atomic scale electrodes all within a silicon crystal. Physicists from the ARC Center for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology at the University of New South Wales in Australia used a scanning tunneling microscope to manipulate atoms on the surface... 

Associate Professor Kourosh Kalantar-Zadeh (L) and Professor Michael Strano have discovered a new power source through nanotechnology. Australian professor Michael Strano and Iranian associate professor Kourosh Kalantar-Zadeh have discovered a new power source for energy storage and power generation. Associate Professor Kalantar-Zadeh, from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at RMIT... 

Drunk drivers in Russia from now on face a brand-new nemesis – a laser device which detects alcohol in the air of your car with sophisticated precision. This brainchild of Russian science is a world first and will be in use by traffic police by 2013. The new invention, dubbed “Bouton” (flower bud), was demonstrated at the XV Anniversary International Exhibition of Police and Military Equipment... 

An Iranian industrial unit for producing nano-materials. Iran and Russia have called for stronger cooperation in the field of nanotechnology through identifying the means to further enhance nanotechnology-related ties. During a meeting on Thursday, Secretary of Iran Nanotechnology Initiative Council (INIC) Saeed Sarkar and Director General of the Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies (Rusnano) Anatoly... 

The head of Iran's Islamic Culture and Relations Organization (ICRO), Mohammad Baqer Khorramshad. The head of Iran’s Islamic Culture and Relations Organization (ICRO) says the Islamic Republic has climbed to the fourth rank in the area of nanotechnology in the world. Iran “ranks fourth in nanotechnology and thus lies at the top of the contemporary Islamic civilization,” the official,...
