Two versions will be held this year by ProNano, the training workshop for secondary school teachers that CEDENNA has traditionally offered once a year. Now we will have a version in the first semester, already scheduled for Thursday, March 2, and another for the second semester of 2023.
The Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, CEDENNA, joined four ministries to promote the work of women in Chilean mining and contribute from science to the development of this important sector, through the signing of a commitment letter signed during the ceremony closing ceremony of the National Women and Mining Roundtable.
Innovation and technology transfer are the keys to the sustainable development of the CODELCO company, which seeks to be more efficient and competitive, said Felipe Lagno, CODELCO's Innovation Manager, during his tour of the different CEDENNA laboratories together with Daniela Blanco, Director of Technological Contracts and Alliances of CODELCO.
Dr. Eugenio Coronado, director of the Institute of Molecular Science of the University of Valencia and member of the International Advisory Committee of CEDENNA, today gave a seminar to researchers, academics and students of the center entitled "Functional Molecules in 2D Materials". The activity was carried out in the entity's Research Building and is part of the recent visit to the site.
Chile must get out of its role of spectator in the face of quantum technologies and make greater efforts to venture more decisively into its development, as other countries have done, says Dr. Juan Carlos Retamal, academic and researcher at the Department of Physics from the University of Santiago de Chile, whose work has focused on computing and Quantum Information.
The member of CEDENNA's International Advisory Committee, Professor of Inorganic Chemistry Eugenio Coronado met today with the director of the center, Dr. Dora Altbir Drullinsky, and researchers from different lines of work, to learn about the progress and challenges facing each area. . In the tour of the different laboratories of the center, Dr. Coronado delved into the research being carried out, formulating questions and suggestions.
Dr. Eugenio Vogel Matamala, a CEDENNA researcher and academic at the Universidad de la Frontera, was chosen one of the 100 Senior Leaders 2022, an initiative promoted by Fundación Conecta Mayor that highlights important national and local figures for their contribution to the development of the country.
The board of the Chilean Physics Society (SOCHIFI), in consultation with the Scientific Committee of the XXIII Chilean Physics Symposium, decided to award the Chilean Physics Society Medal to CEDENNA researcher Dr. Patricio Vargas, for "his outstanding contributions both in the field of Physics, as in the progress of SOCHIFI”. The distinction was given to him in a ceremony that took place in the context of the XXIII Chilean Physics Symposium.
The creation of this unit called ND3, which seeks to generate research and solutions aimed at improving the health of the population, was described as a great advance in terms of scientific development. The University of Talca inaugurated the first center in the country dedicated to the application of nanotechnology to biomedicine. The so-called Center for Nanomedicine, Diagnosis and Drug Development (ND3) was highlighted as an important scientific advance both for the Maule Region and for the country. “Drug development is an area that strongly impacts people.
This innovation contributes to reducing the risk of accidents at work and benefits preventive maintenance of wear items.
In October 2022, CEDENNA (Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology located at Usach) began a new development that complements the technology concerning the SIGET monitoring system that alerts about the detachment of wear elements, reported Dr. Omar Daud, Assistant Project Manager. and Researcher of Technology Transfer of the Center.
