A recent Web of Science report highlights Iran’s significant progress in 3D printing, with 606 publications over the past decade, ranking second among Islamic nations and 22nd globally. Key contributors include the University of Tehran and Amirkabir University, each with 83 publications. Iran also leads Islamic nations in 4D printing and ranks second in Industry 5.0 publications. Additionally, Iran excels in neural networks, ranking first among Islamic countries with 17,458 publications, and shows strong results in AI, machine learning, and robotics. The country’s scientific output in these fields has notably increased over the last decade, driven by top universities.
From August 16 to 22, Iran recorded 119 earthquakes, marking a significant increase in seismic activity. The Institute of Geophysics of the University of Tehran categorized the earthquakes: 101 had magnitudes under 3, 16 ranged from 3 to 4, and 2 were between 4 and 5. A notable 4-magnitude quake struck Kerman province on August 21. Kerman reported the highest activity with 14 earthquakes, followed closely by Khorasan Razavi with 13. In contrast, several provinces, including East Azarbaijan and Gilan, experienced no seismic events. Over the past year, Iran documented 6,272 earthquakes, highlighting its vulnerability to seismic hazards.
Iran’s robotics and earth science teams achieved remarkable success at international competitions, notably the FIRA 2025 World Robotics and AI Competition in South Korea, where they won 11 awards, including five championships. The Iranian team also excelled at the International Earth Science Olympiad (IESO) in China, earning four bronze medals. Their achievements highlight a strong performance across various scientific disciplines, including informatics, economics, biology, physics, and mathematics, with Iranian students securing numerous medals in these fields. This success reflects Iran’s growing reputation in science and technology and encourages future innovations in robotics and AI.
The Iranian parliament has approved the country’s membership in the International Solar Energy Society (ISES), marking a significant commitment to renewable energy and solar power. Founded in 1954, ISES promotes solar energy globally, with members from over 110 countries. Iran plans to boost its solar capacity by 4,000 megawatts by March 2026, increasing its current capacity of 1,200 megawatts significantly. Energy Minister Abbas Ali-Abadi emphasized collaboration with the private sector to create an attractive investment environment. This expansion aligns with Iran’s strategy to develop its renewable energy sector and reduce fossil fuel reliance, signaling a shift toward sustainable energy.

In Iran, over 70% of the population cannot afford basic dental care, leading to a severe oral health crisis where essential treatments are accessible only to the wealthy. With inadequate insurance coverage—over 90% of dental expenses are out-of-pocket—many families resort to tooth extractions for pain relief. Dental costs have surged, making even public clinic services prohibitive. Alarmingly, the average Iranian adult has six decayed or missing teeth, with seniors and children facing severe decay. Policymakers have deprioritized dental care as essential, resulting in a two-tier system that exacerbates health inequalities, signaling a looming national health crisis.
