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.
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.
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.
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.
Quantum computing, one of the most promising areas of science and technology, will be the focus of a new version of Qu Santiago V, the School of Quantum Computing that will take place on April 14, 15 and 16 at the Faculty of Engineering and Sciences of the Diego Portales University (UDP).
As part of the commemoration of International Women's Day, the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) will hold the discussion "Women, science and decision-making: real experiences in spaces of power," an event that seeks to open a space for reflection on the trajectories, challenges and lessons learned by women who have influenced areas of knowle
With a call to strengthen public policies that enable more women to fully develop their professional careers, the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) commemorated International Women's Day with a day of reflection on female leadership in science and decision-making.
The event took place in the Auditorium of the Research Centers Building at the University of Santiago, Chile, and included the participation of university authorities, researchers, students, and representatives from the scientific community.
Carozzi was awarded first place in the 2025 Packaging Innovation Award, a recognition granted by LABEN Chile at the University of Santiago that highlights innovative packaging developments focused on sustainability, material efficiency, and the circular economy. The award recognizes solutions that address current industry challenges by integrating technological innovation, environmental responsibility, and continuous improvement of production processes.
The Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) participated in the X National Meeting on Physics Didactics, held at the Metropolitan University of Educational Sciences (UMCE), an event that brought together teachers, academics and researchers committed to the teaching, dissemination and social projection of science.
