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.
Dr. Juliano Denardin, a CEDENNA researcher and faculty member of the Department of Physics at the University of Santiago, Chile, was the only Latin American scientist to deliver a presentation at the First International Symposium on Three-Dimensional Nanomagnetism, “3DMAG 2026,” held from July 13 to 17 in Vienna, Austria.
At the event, the researcher presented a study on how the curvature and geometry of nanoscale structures can modify their magnetic behavior and open new possibilities for data storage, sensor development, and future computing technologies.
Dr. Juan Pablo García-Huidobro, a researcher at CEDENNA, received significant recognition for a life dedicated to scientific research, the training of new generations, and the advancement of knowledge in Chile, following his nomination for the 2026 National Prize for Natural Sciences.
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.
