Third- and fourth-year students from Liceo de Aplicación participated in a visit to the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA), where they were able to learn about the scientific and technological work promoted by our center.

During the tour, the students explored various laboratories, including those for Electron Microscopy, Nanomagnetism, Nanobiomedicine, Packaging, and Nanostructure Chemistry. There, they had the opportunity to interact directly with researchers leading cutting-edge projects in these areas.

With the aim of exploring new opportunities for collaboration and advancing the search for innovative solutions to current challenges, CEDENNA received a visit from COPEC today.

During the day, Elisa Castillo, Project and Innovation Engineer at COPEC's Engineering Department, toured the center's laboratories and held meetings with CEDENNA researchers. During the event, she learned about the center's scientific and technological capabilities, as well as advances in applied research in the field of nanotechnology.

CEDENNA was pleased to welcome an enthusiastic group of junior year students from Trewhela's School for an educational day dedicated to scientific outreach.

The visit began with an introductory talk given by the Director of the CEDENNA Center Program, Dr. Juliano Casagrande Denardin, who provided an overview of the impact of nanoscience and the main lines of research being developed at the center.

The Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) was one of the protagonists of the Puerto Ideas Antofagasta Science Walk, the largest scientific outreach event in Chile, where through the exhibition "Images of the Nanoworld" it managed to amaze children, young people and adults, bringing them closer to the fascinating world of nanoscience.

The CEDENNA Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Center is part of the Puerto de Ideas Antofagasta Science Festival with the exhibition "Images of the Nanoworld," a unique visual experience that unites science and art.

• “They have a lot to contribute and deserve support, for example, in the development of quantum computing.”

"I hope Chile knows how to support the great scientific talent it has," emphasized physicist Enrique Solano, founder of Kipu Quantum, also emphasizing the significant contribution Chilean and South American researchers have to make to global progress, thanks precisely to their creativity and innovative work. "We mustn't let ourselves be left behind," he insisted.

After passing his public exam with the highest grade at both USACH and the University of Zaragoza, Francisco Rubio Sepúlveda, a PhD student in Chemistry at the University of Santiago de Chile, received his dual degree: a PhD in Physics from the University of Zaragoza and a PhD in Chemistry from USACH.

Her thesis has already generated several presentations at national and international conferences and two ISI quartile 1 publications, in addition to a cover in the journal Inorganic Chemistry, one of the most important in the field of Inorganic Chemistry.

With the participation of prominent officials from the Ministry of Science, national academics, international researchers, and representatives from the public and private sectors, the central day of Quantum Technologies Week was held at CEDENNA. This unprecedented commemoration was promoted by the Ministry of Science as part of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technologies, declared by the United Nations.

The FONDEF project ID22I10192, "Remote Monitoring of Wear in Mining Shovels" was concluded with a meeting that brought together university authorities, representatives of the National Agency for Research and Development (ANID), executives from the company Foremin, and researchers from the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA)..
