  • Environmental applications

Significant Advances in Iran’s Nanotechnology Sector

In recent developments, Iran has witnessed remarkable growth in the field of nanotechnology over the past year (August 2024 – August 2025). Key achievements include:

  • A more than 100 percent increase in nanotech product exports
  • Publication of 10,860 articles indexed in the Web of Science (WoS)
  • Ranking sixth globally in the publication of nanotechnology articles

Iran’s commitment to advancing nanotechnology is underscored by its impressive publication record. In 2024, the country published a total of 4,615 articles in the top 25 percent of journals (Q1 journals), positioning itself among the top ten nations in this area. Additionally, Iran ranks 12th in the h-index for nano-related articles worldwide.

According to recent statistics, the leading countries in nanotechnology publications are:

  1. China: 86,924 articles
  2. United States: 14,473 articles
  3. India: 11,194 articles

Iran surpasses several countries, including England (4,360), Japan (4,022), and Spain (3,830), in this competitive ranking, as reported by ISNA. The Q1 journal index is critical for categorizing scientific journals based on their impact, commonly referenced in databases such as Scimago Journal Rank (SJR) and Journal Citation Reports (JCR).

Impact of Iranian Journals in Nanotechnology

The Journal Citation Report (JCR) Impact Factor 2024 has recognized 161 Iranian journals, with five journals being distinguished as among the most cited in the nanotechnology sector globally.

Notably, the Journal of Nanostructure in Chemistry (JNSC), affiliated with Islamic Azad University, boasts an impressive impact factor of 7.9. It ranks among the top 25 percent of journals in JCR, achieving the following positions:

  • 34th among 147 top journals in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology
  • 41st among 239 journals in Multidisciplinary Chemistry
  • 88th among 460 top journals in Multidisciplinary Material Science

Other notable journals include:

  • Journals of International Nano Letters (Impact Factor: 4.0)
  • Nano-medicine Journal (Impact Factor: 1.7)
  • Journal of Nanostructures (Impact Factor: 1.3)
  • International Journal of Nano Dimension (Impact Factor: 1.1)

Currently, out of the 12 specialized nanotechnology journals in Iran, ten have been indexed in the international Scopus database, with five of them receiving an impact factor.

As Iran continues to make strides in nanotechnology, the upcoming Nano Tech 2026 will undoubtedly provide a significant opportunity for the nation to highlight its advancements and foster international collaboration in this critical field.

  • Surge in Dengue Cases: 500 Infections Documented in Just Six Months!

    Dengue fever is a rising concern in Iran, with 497 confirmed cases reported from March 21 to September 27, primarily in Chabahar (445 cases). The disease, transmitted by Aedes mosquitoes, requires minimal water for breeding, making common containers ideal. Symptoms can be mild or absent, complicating detection. Preventive measures include wearing protective clothing and using insect repellent, especially in high-risk areas. Effective vector control is crucial as there is no specific treatment for dengue. The World Health Organization estimates that half the global population is at risk, with millions of infections reported annually. Public awareness and sanitation are key to reducing incidence.

  • Transforming Turmoil: Invest in Resilience to Combat Man-Made Disasters

    Disasters are often caused by poor decision-making rather than just natural events, underscoring the need for investment in disaster risk reduction (DRR). The International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction, celebrated on October 13, promotes global awareness and resilience against hazards like floods and earthquakes. Iran, prone to various disasters, has allocated 540 trillion rials ($483 million) for enhancing resilience this year. An international initiative, supported by Japan, aims to develop flood hazard maps and empower local communities. Urgent calls for increased DRR funding highlight the necessity of integrating risk assessments into public and private investments to mitigate future disaster impacts.

  • Khamenei Leverages Military Power to Ensure Food Security During Escalating Economic Crisis

    Iran is grappling with a severe crisis marked by rising poverty and hunger, prompting Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei to urge the government, led by Masoud Pezeshkian, to ensure food security.
