Until Friday, September 15 (5:00 p.m.), photographs will be received for the "CEDENNA 2023 Images" Contest, through which our center seeks to collect the best images related to nanoscience and nanotechnology, based on the work carried out in the various CEDENNA research groups, in the recent year.

• Who can participate?

Undergraduate and postgraduate students, postdoctoral researchers and technological developers, attached to the Center.

The German company Kipu Quantum GmbH and the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, CEDENNA, through the University of Santiago de Chile, signed a Research Agreement to develop digital, analog and digital-analog quantum computing solutions.

This agreement has a significant impact for the country, since it is the only one signed in Chile and Latin America by this German software company, focused on the development of specific quantum algorithms for applications and hardware that are marketed as business solutions.

Tips for a successful application to competitive funds and programs; tips to integrate into your CV what recruiters consider most relevant; keys for labor insertion; how to formulate a project that generates interest in companies, etc. That and more includes the ALUMNI CEDENNA Workshop aimed at postgraduate students and alumni studying at our center.

The event will take place on Thursday, August 31, from 9:00 a.m., in the Auditorium of the REMS Research Centers Building.

The magazine "Crystal Growth & Design" highlighted the researcher of CEDENNA's Nanostructures Chemistry line, Dr. Verónica Paredes, among the leading women in publications in the area of ​​crystal engineering.

More than 30 companies learned about the potential of this scientific discipline and the funding from Corfo-Innova to use it in their developments

Pleasantly surprised by the multiple applications that nanotechnology can contribute to the development of their companies, the representatives of more than thirty productive entities who toured the CEDENNA laboratories to learn first-hand about the way in which the applications of Chilean nanoscience they can help them improve their performances and solve their challenges.

"The activity carried out by CEDENNA is excellent. I spoke with all the exhibitors and I realized that there are many applications that are key to the problems that food development is having in our country today," highlighted the General Manager of Chile Alimentos, Guillermo González, one of the business leaders who participated in the 2023 version of the Nanotechnology Fair organized by the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, CEDENNA.

President of the Senate's Future Challenges Commission called for the formation of a single platform in which scientists, businessmen and the State can advance in unison.

An interesting and participatory Technological Transfer Workshop was held by CEDENNA on Monday, June 12, an opportunity in which researchers from the different lines of the center were able to share both their advances in different developments and the challenges, problems and experiences in their processes to materialize projects, in in order to contribute to different productive sectors.

In an extraordinary session and by unanimous vote, the Chilean Academy of Sciences appointed the CEDENNA researcher, Dr. Juan Alejandro Valdivia Hepp, as a corresponding member of the scientific entity after a rigorous selection process in which his career, prestige, quality of research and contribution to the training of new scientists. Dr. Valdivia is a PhD in Physics from the University of Maryland, in the USA, a Simulations researcher at CEDENNA and a tenured professor in the Physics Department of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Chile.

The exhibition "Images of the Nanomundo" concluded its visit to the Ministry of Science, where it surprised both the authorities of that portfolio and the public that was able to visit it in the hall of this Secretary of State during the three weeks that it was housed. Now, the exhibition has been installed in the hall of the Nicanor Parra Library of the Diego Portales University, where it will remain until July 8.
