Online Desk: Iranian nuclear scientists have marked a significant advancement in the field of science and technology. They have successfully developed a plasma device using the Surface Dielectric Barrier Discharge (SDBD) method.

This newly developed device enables plasma generation at atmospheric pressure, which can be used for surface modification and sterilization and has vast potential applications in the medical industry.

The technology was recently developed under the guidance of Iran’s Nuclear Science and Technology Research Institute. However, the lead scientist behind this research was killed in an Israeli attack during the recent Iran-Israel conflict, according to reports.

Globally, nuclear energy is no longer viewed solely as a source of electricity. Its role has expanded across fields such as medicine, agriculture, industry, and environmental science. In recent years, Iranian nuclear scientists have made notable progress in the peaceful application of nuclear technology.

The SDBD plasma device offers an efficient solution for reducing both processing time and energy consumption. Moreover, its processes are easily controllable and significantly more cost-effective compared to other low-pressure plasma generation systems.

The cold plasma generated through this system can be widely applied in various sectors, including healthcare, dentistry, surface sterilization, printing and packaging industries, ozone generation, textiles, food processing, and agriculture.

This achievement is the result of dedicated efforts by researchers working under Amir Hossein Faghihi, a renowned nuclear expert and former head of Iran’s Institute for Advanced Technical Design. Before being killed in an Israeli strike in Tehran, he played a crucial role in advancing this research.

The progress made by Iran’s Plasma and Nuclear Fusion Research Center reflects the capabilities of Iranian scientists in developing high-end technologies based on indigenous knowledge. Despite external pressures and hostilities, Iran’s nuclear scientists continue to demonstrate resilience and commitment to innovation and scientific advancement, reported the country's media.

The SDBD plasma generation device is not only a scientific breakthrough but also a practical solution to meet the growing demands of local industries. It paves the way for the integration of nuclear technology into Iran’s industrial and medical ecosystem.
