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 CETRAM Corporation (Center for Movement Disorders), chaired by CEDENNA neurologist and nanobiomedicine researcher Dr. Pedro Chaná, has been selected worldwide as one of eight academic medical centers worthy of an international scholarship for training in advanced skills in the diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) and other movement disorders.
On Wednesday, June 12, 2025, the Center for the Development of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) made its presence felt at the third edition of Ciencia Sin Ficción, held at the SurActivo Events Center in Concepción, Chile. On this occasion, our associate researcher and Director of the Laboratory of Molecular Magnetism and Molecular Materials (LM4) at the Faculty of Engineering, Science and Technology of Universidad Bernardo O’Higgins (UBO), Dr.
Between May 25 and 30, 2025, a team of researchers and a student from CEDENNA actively participated in the International Workshop on Spintronics (Spin Galápagos 2025), held at the Universidad San Francisco de Quito, on its beautiful San Cristóbal Campus, located in the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador.
During the event, Dr. Pedro Landeros gave a distinguished guest talk entitled “The toroidal moments in confined nanomagnets and their impact on magnonics,” in which he discussed in depth the role of toroidal moments in confined nanomagnets and their relevance to the field of magnonics.
The CEDENNA Foundation launches a pioneering initiative that seeks to bring cutting-edge science closer to medical practice, with the support of the Medical Association.
For the first time in Chile, healthcare professionals will be able to access specialized training in nanoscience and nanotechnology, focusing on their applications in diagnosis, treatment, and regenerative medicine. The course, organized by the CEDENNA Foundation, features the participation of leading researchers from the country.
Third- and fourth-year students from Liceo de Aplicación participated in a visit to the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA), where they were able to learn about the scientific and technological work promoted by our center.
During the tour, the students explored various laboratories, including those for Electron Microscopy, Nanomagnetism, Nanobiomedicine, Packaging, and Nanostructure Chemistry. There, they had the opportunity to interact directly with researchers leading cutting-edge projects in these areas.
With the aim of exploring new opportunities for collaboration and advancing the search for innovative solutions to current challenges, CEDENNA received a visit from COPEC today.
During the day, Elisa Castillo, Project and Innovation Engineer at COPEC's Engineering Department, toured the center's laboratories and held meetings with CEDENNA researchers. During the event, she learned about the center's scientific and technological capabilities, as well as advances in applied research in the field of nanotechnology.
Within the framework of a joint collaboration between CEDENNA and the University of Santiago de Chile (USACH), we had the pleasure of receiving a visit from a delegation from the University of Los Lagos
During the day, nearly 12 researchers toured our facilities, learning firsthand about the work carried out in the Transfer, Nanosafety, and Nanobiomedicine laboratories.
These types of academic and scientific exchanges not only strengthen ties between institutions but also promote scientific and technological development at the national level.
CEDENNA was pleased to welcome an enthusiastic group of junior year students from Trewhela's School for an educational day dedicated to scientific outreach.
The visit began with an introductory talk given by the Director of the CEDENNA Center Program, Dr. Juliano Casagrande Denardin, who provided an overview of the impact of nanoscience and the main lines of research being developed at the center.
The Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) was one of the protagonists of the Puerto Ideas Antofagasta Science Walk, the largest scientific outreach event in Chile, where through the exhibition "Images of the Nanoworld" it managed to amaze children, young people and adults, bringing them closer to the fascinating world of nanoscience.
