In an interesting meeting, Gisela Ledesma, representative of the Business Incubator of the National University of Córdoba (UNC) in Argentina, and the CEO of Novosens, Lucio Simonella, met with prominent researchers from CEDENNA and its Executive Director, Dr. . Juan Escrig.

The focus of this meeting was the ETOH biosensor, a key innovation developed by the company Novosens to accurately measure alcohol levels in wines and fermentation broths.

The 3rd and 4th year students of the Elvira Hurtado de Matte School visited the laboratories of the CEDENNA Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Center.

The activity began with an introductory talk given by the Executive Director of CEDENNA Dr. Juan Escrig and then began a journey into nanoscience. After an exciting tour, the laboratories visited were Containers, Nanostructure Chemistry, Nanobiomedicine, Nanomagnetism, Electron Microscopy and Nanosecurity, here the students were able to learn about the advances, work and developments that the CEDENNA Center is carrying out.

Around a pleasant and cordial breakfast at CEDENNA, a collaboration agreement was signed between our center and the Network of Chemistry Teachers of Chile (RPQ). The representatives of the RPQ were enthusiastic and motivated with the activities and initiatives that will be generated from this agreement, which was signed by the executive director of the center, Dr. Juan Escrig Murúa, and the executive director of the CEDENNA Foundation, Dra Dora Altbir Drulinski.

"CEDENNA is an excellent example of developing top-notch science connected to the country's real and concrete needs. It's a place where the link between academia and the private sector becomes a reality, which is something we, as a country, need to work on significantly," emphasized Minister Aisén Etcheverry after touring the nanotechnology fair at the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA).

In a meeting that highlights the synergy between the world of science and industry, a group of 12 researchers from the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) made an enriching visit to the Rosario plant of Agrosuper, located in the commune of Rengo.

The CEDENNA Center experts were received by Catalina Hernández, in charge of visits to the plant, who told the history and the most recent advances in its developments and projects. The visit provided an opportunity for the exchange of knowledge, ideas and experiences between both parties.

Completely enthusiastic, surprised and eager to return, the 3rd year students of the Salesianos de Alameda School visited the laboratories of the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA).

After an introductory talk to the nano world, given by the Executive Director of CEDENNA Dr. Juan Escrig, the students took an unforgettable tour of the Nanosafety, Electron Microscopy, nanomagnetism, Packaging and Nanobiomedicine laboratories. In this way, creating a huge bond between students and nanotechnology.

Chile is recognized worldwide for its role in fruit growing, leading the production and export of more than 50 fruit species. At the national level, it is the second export sector after copper, contributing 39.2% to the sectoral GDP and 34% to forestry and agricultural exports. And in the face of a growing world population, it is projected that the demand for vegetables and fruits will increase by more than 50%, making it necessary to increase national productivity to maintain the competitiveness of our country.

Dr. Gustavo Zúñiga, a researcher at the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA), is developing plant nanoparticles using native and Antarctic plants from Chile. This pioneering advance has potential applications in agriculture and medicine, promising to be more effective and sustainable than conventional options.

• Attendees learned about CEDENNA's developments and projects, touring the Electronic Microscopy, Nanomagnetism, Technology Transfer, Nanobiomedicine and Plant Nanobiotechnology laboratories.

In an exciting journey to the nano world, students of the Electromagnetism Physics course at the Autonomous University of Chile explored the fascinating field of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
