For a decade now, the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, CEDENNA, has annually held a contest among its researchers to collect artistic images of the nano world, which are used for the calendars that the center prepares each year and distributes free of charge in educational establishments all over the world. the country.
The Chemistry and Environment Laboratory of the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) received a visit from Dr. Pablo Albores, PhD in Chemistry and Associate Professor at the Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, in an instance aimed at strengthening scientific collaboration between Chile and Argentina in the field of materials and molecular magnetism.
The Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) offered a new science outreach talk for students and teachers facing the challenge of incorporating Nanoscience and Nanotechnology into the curricula of the 3rd and 4th year courses of the secondary level.
On this occasion, fifty students from Liceo 7 in Providencia had the opportunity to talk with the 2007 National Prize for Exact Sciences winner and member of CEDENNA, Dr. Miguel Kiwi Tichauer, who explained the history and basic principles of Quantum Mechanics and answered numerous questions from the attendees.
Intense dialogues took place between physicians and researchers during the scientific discussion on Parkinson's disease, sponsored by CEDENNA and organized by the Postgraduate and Continuing Education Department of the Faculty of Medical Sciences at the University of Santiago (Usach).
With the awards ceremony of the “Quantum for Chile” hackathon, expert talks, and a closing marked by the intersection of science, technology, and creativity, the fifth edition of QuSantiago—the country’s leading Quantum Computing School—came to an end. The event was organized by the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA), Universidad Diego Portales (UDP), and Universidad de Santiago de Chile (USACH), with the support of CoreDevX.
Not only does human health benefit from advances in nanomedicine: researchers associated with Cedenna have developed innovative veterinary products to improve animal health and well-being, especially in dogs and cats.
The Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) ranks second nationally in innovation in the SCImago Institutions Rankings (SIR) 2026, further solidifying its position as the leading university institution for innovation in Chile.
Promoting collaborative work and knowledge exchange was the focus of the First Internal Seminar held by CEDENNA's Line 2 (Magnetic Nanostructures and Mining), which took place at the Faculty of Sciences and Engineering of the University of Chile, with the participation of researchers from the various universities that make it up.
Next April, Dr. Patricia Díaz, a researcher at the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA), will give an internationally focused talk to health professionals in Latin America and Spain, centered on the impact of nanomaterials on the development of medical-surgical supplies, especially in antimicrobial applications and healing processes.
The Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, CEDENNA, began distributing its 2026 Calendar, an initiative that brings together science, art and education from images of the nano world obtained through electron microscopy by researchers and students.
The five images in this calendar are the winning entries from the internal competition “CEDENNA Images 2026,” which aims to highlight the visual beauty of scientific research at the nanoscale. Each of these micrographs was subsequently creatively altered by its author, resulting in unique graphic pieces that blend art and science.
