Nanotechnology in Palestine

In the light of keeping pace of the Islamic university for the technological age and its interest with the recent technologies, the scientific research affairs organized with cooperation with faculties of engineering & Science study day about the nanotechnology in Palestine, the study day which held in the general conference hall in Al-Qudus building for studding halls, was attended by Dr. Taleb Abo Shear –Deputy university president for scientific research affairs-, Dr. Shafik Gindia –Dean of faculty of engineering-, Dr. Nizam Al-ashkar –Dean of Science Faculty-, Dr. Ayman Al-saka –president of Preparatory committee & assistant of deputy president for scientific research affairs-, and no. of researchers, specialists, and teaching staff from faculty of engineering and faculty of science, and great no. of students from both faculties.

Dr. Abo shear expressed his pride with the Islamic university initiative by discussing the scientific nanotechnology technologies, as it considered leading in discussing such issue. Also Dr. Gindia pointed to that the university able to break the ice in this field; he considered that this technology will make great change in many fields and uses in different universities, praising the university’s role in monitoring the new technologies. Dr. Ashkar confirmed on the importance of access in the field of Nano, and emerge this field into the scientific courses for the students, looking forward to direct the master theses toward this technology, and later make scholarship for both students and researchers to have specialized study in the Nano-technology field.

The study day includes some sessions, the first session headed by Dr. Nasir Farahat, Dr. Mohamed Balousha talked in it about the fine sciences and Nano technology, and the abilities to make creative applications through nano measure, and also Dr. Kamal Al- Kahlout clarified the abilities to produce Nano material with the way of bio-technology as substitute to the physical way.  While Dr. Abdul Rauf Mana'ma explained the cross role between the nanotechnology and biology and how the nanotechnology are use in the biology, also Mrs. Hala Aobeian showed the uses of the nanotechnology in the fields of communication engineering, satellite, pharmaceuticals and energy fields.

Regarding the 2nd scientific session for the study day, it was headed by Dr. Mohamed Hussein, as Dr. Hatem Al- Omari discussed collecting the sensitive solar cells for the pigments through using the nanoparticles in the Zinc Oxide to absorb light and natural pigments, also Dr. Azzam Abu Habib pointed to the possibilities to apply the tissues purification to separate the variety substitution from water by using Nano, in the same session Dr. Wessam Al-Madhoun talked about the application of technological Nano in the field of fighting the air pollution and eliminate the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, also Dr. Mohamed Al- Hayek revealed the process of using such technology in machines and robots industries that its installation depend on Nano scale in particular.
