"At CEDENNA, we have the great possibility of creating something in Chile that gives added value to currently unexploited minerals, such as those present in tailings. I am delighted with the visit. We were able to see the laboratories and what is specifically done there. Here we are talking about applied research, and that is not very common in Chile," highlighted Erwin Plett, founder and manager of Lowcarbon Chile and Director of H2 Chile Chilean Hydrogen Association, during his recent visit to the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA). 

“Gender inclusion is not a concession, but a necessity for the comprehensive development of our society,” said the Director of the CEDENNA Foundation, Dr. Dora Altbir, when receiving her guests at the commemoration that this entity that promotes nanoscience and nanotechnology organized on the occasion of International Women's Day.

• In addition to receiving theoretical classes from prominent researchers, including two National Prize winners for Exact Sciences, teachers had the opportunity to participate in practical experiments, including the production of their own nanoparticles, guided by expert scientists in areas such as nanomedicine, nanomagnetism, nanobiotechnology, nanosafety, and development of materials with nanotechnology.

The ninth edition of ProNano, the most significant event in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology aimed at Chilean teachers, was held on Thursday, March 14, at the E

As is tradition, the CEDENNA Center begins the delivery of 2024 calendars throughout the country. These copies highlight images created by researchers, students and technological developers from our center, with the aim of educating and increasing the visibility of scientific work in an entertaining way, mixing art and science.

Support for the improvement and constant updating of Science, Physics, Chemistry and Biology in the topics of nanoscience and nanotechnology has been a priority task for the members of CEDENNA.

In an unprecedented milestone for agricultural innovation in Chile, the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, CEDENNA, successfully carried out its first "Nanotechnology Fair for the Agricultural Sector", bringing together prominent government, business and agricultural leaders in Chile. . This pioneering event offered a unique platform for the discovery and discussion of cutting-edge nanotechnological solutions, marking a before and after in the way the sector faces environmental and sustainability challenges.

In its edition today (Monday, February 12) El Mercurio's Campo Magazine highlights that from CEDENNA, the doctor in Plant Biology Gustavo Zúñiga has developed the production of green nanoparticles from endemic Chilean plants for use in medicine and agriculture. This innovation will be present at the First Nanotechnology for Agriculture Fair that will be held on Thursday, March 28, with the assistance of government authorities and a group of prominent leaders from the agricultural sector.

The Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) announces the opening of registrations for the PRONANO 2024 program, aimed at secondary education teachers in scientific areas. The event will take place on Thursday, March 14, 2024, from 8:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., in the center building, located at Av. Libertador Bernardo O'Higgins 3363, Estación Central (Metropolitan Region).

Professor Diego Venegas Yazigi, doctor in Chemistry and principal investigator of the CEDENNA Molecular Magnetism Laboratory, presented this Tuesday the advances of this team at the ChemForum held in Lisbon, after also participating in the XIII International Vanadium Symposium in the Portuguese capital.

Last Thursday, November 30, in the Rector Eduardo Morales Santos Auditorium, an interesting seminar was held on the Nobel Prize in Physics: "Experimental methods that generate attosecond light pulses for the study of electronic dynamics in matter" dictated by the researcher of the Department of Physics of the University of Santiago, Dr. Ignacio Olivares.

The day included the participation of researchers and students from the center, who actively participated with questions and opinions at the end of the seminar.
