Abstract

Regarding the theme of this conference “Emerging Trends and Breakthroughs in Material Science and Nanotechnology” with focus on providing “a pivotal platform for leading researchers, scientists, and industry experts”, “concerning the future of material science and nanotechnology”, I decided to share my research skills and experiences with young researchers and give them a view that how to step successfully towards this pathway. In fact, I will set the focus of this speech on an inspiring review of some secrets of my research skills. In this speech, I will discuss how training our mind for a comprehensive and concurrently a profound perspective in each step of our research process can help us to design an exact and perfect hypothesis-driven research work well-engineered considering all environmental, technical, economic, safety and practical aspects to achieve the perfect products with remarkable potentiality of mass production, and concurrently, cutting-edge, groundbreaking, breakthrough publications. The base of these skills is training our mind to improve our intellectual skills step by step, and using fundamental principles, especially mechanisms and so forth, in the associated phenomena with our problem, raising proper questions toward merging into the solution, analyzing our answers, and so on, the vital intellectual skills which are increasingly fading by developing artificial intelligence (AI). I will discuss why it should be consider a major concern and should not be ignored. One of the rewards of accomplishing this skill is that you be more dependent on your mind than what may not be accessible for you in all conditions such as the most equipped laboratories, supportive colleagues and students, most credible supervisors and colleagues, most credible universities, highly encouraging academic atmosphere, AI, etc. When you benefit these advantages too, you can certainly soar to the top. Rewarding these skills, even when you face a challenge in a situation you have no access to books, web, or AI, you can confidently use your mind to find the solution. I only will speak about what I could satisfy without benefiting a majority of these advantages. Consequently, if I could overcome these challenges, you will certainly can, of course better, regarding your superior minds and conditions. I will give you some examples of my own research works to encourage you in each case. In fact, I will prove my statements with my own research works in different scopes of my research fields in nanotechnology. Since this proficiency is best to figure out in childhood, it can be offered to be also considered in parenting and elementary educations to bring up the better living skills for humanity in all its aspects and specially prevent the AI development side effects on the human intellectual skills..
