American forces have increased their air attacks in Afghanistan in recent weeks.

Iran Blasts Zimmerman's Acquittal in US نویسنده: Albert Iran Blasts Zimmerman's Acquittal in USIran deplored the recent court verdict acquitting US security guard George Zimmerman who killed unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin as a blatant example of racial discrimination. Last week, a court in the US found Zimmerman not guilty over Martin’s death. Several thousand people marched from Union Square to Times Square in New York after Zimmerman’s exoneration. “The acquittal of the murderer of the teenage African American once again clearly demonstrated the unwritten, but systematic racial discrimination against racial, religious and ethnic minorities in the US society,” Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Seyed Abbas Araqchi said. He noted that the court ruling has also seriously put under question the fairness of the judicial process in the United States. “Several months on since a probe was launched (into the murder), the public opinion in the US and across the world expect transpar

Manganese Nano Oxides Show Self-repair Properties in New Study نویسنده: Albert Iranian researchers discovered new self-repair properties in manganese nano oxides during a study on the stability of these materials in media containing oxidants. Manganese oxides were used to be known as instable materials in oxidative environments. Manganese nano oxides can be used as catalyst in water oxidation reaction to produce hydrogen as green fuel. The self-repair properties of these particles decrease the cost of the production of green fuel. Dr. Mohammad Mehdi Najafpour, a member of the Scientific Board of Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences, elaborated on the research. “In order to obtain a catalyst with self-repair properties, we chose a type of manganese oxide that has a very reasonable price and is synthesized very easily. These materials lose their active sites after a while. In other words, they are damaged. By precisely studying the separated sites, we realized that the se
