The delegation toured laboratories in plant nanobiotechnology, nanobiomedicine, nanosafety, and nano-structured chemistry, showing particular interest in projects for the recovery of native species and medical applications of nanotechnology.
It is with deep regret that the Center for the Development of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) announces the passing of José d’Albuquerque e Castro (1952–2025), a prominent Brazilian physicist and member of our International Advisory Committee, who passed away on August 12, 2025.
On July 7 and 8, the Center for Postgraduate Studies and Continuing Education of the University of Santiago (CEPEC-USACH) hosted a new version of the Molecular Dynamics Workshop: Bringing Theory to Experiment, a free and open event for undergraduate and graduate students interested in learning and applying nanomaterial simulation tools.
At the end of July (30) the closing talk of Hugo Cros' stay was held, a Physics Engineering student at Polytech Clermont (France), who since April has been developing research in the area of nanoscale magnetism at the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA).
Last Tuesday, August 5th, we enthusiastically welcomed a group of researchers from the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture at Arturo Prat University (UNAP). They toured the Center's facilities and laboratories to learn more about our research in nanoscience and nanotechnology.
During the day, visitors explored our laboratories:
Transferencia Tecnológica
Microscopía Electrónica
Nanobiomedicina
Nanomagnetismo
Química de Nanoestructuras
As part of an enriching training day, we hosted graduate students from the University of Talca at the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA). This activity allowed the students to gain insight into the scientific work we carry out in our laboratories, fostering the exchange of knowledge and experiences related to cutting-edge research.
During the tour, the students visited our laboratories:
Microscopía Electrónica
Nanoseguridad
Química de Nanoestructuras
Nanobiomedicina
As part of its commitment to scientific outreach and community engagement, CEDENNA opens its doors monthly to students from various educational institutions across the country, offering them a unique experience: a first-hand look into the fascinating world of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
These visits are not just tours, but a valuable opportunity to awaken scientific vocations, promote critical thinking, and demonstrate how science is transformed into applied knowledge for the country's development.
The Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) received a visit from students from Altomonte School, who toured our Electron Microscopy, Nanomagnetism, Packaging, Plant Biotechnology, Nanomedicine and Nanosecurity laboratories.
The day began with an introductory talk by CEDENNA researcher Dr. Juan Escrig, who explained in a friendly and educational way the fascinating world of nanotechnology and its many applications in everyday life.
A group of 39 students from La Maisonnette College visited the facilities of the Center for the Development of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA), participating in a guided tour of our main research laboratories.
Alexia Vázquez, Regional Secretary of Science, Technology, Knowledge, and Innovation for the Arica, Parinacota, and Tarapacá regions, visited the facilities of the CEDENNA Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Center to learn more about the research and developments the center is promoting in the field of nanotechnology.
During her tour, the Seremi was able to learn about the advances being made in the microscopy, plant biotechnology, nanobiomedicine, nanostructure chemistry, and nanosecurity laboratories.
