Iran is bidding to set up a Nanoscience & Nanotechnology Centre at the University of Nairobi. The facility to be put up is to concentrate on research of all aspects of computational nanoscience, and to help promote the fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology across the country and around the region.
This was revealed during talks between the Vice Chancellor Prof. Stephen Kiama and the Ambassador of Iran to Kenya H. E. Barmaki, which will bring in Iranian universities to actualize the project.
Nanotechnology refers to a field of applied sciences and technology whose main theme is the control of matter at the molecular level in scales smaller than 1 micrometre, normally 1 to 100 nanometres, and the fabrication of devices within that size range. The technology finds application in a variety of sectors including medicine, transport, agriculture, electronics and energy.
