Dr. Juliano Casagrande Denardin, researcher at the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) and professor at the University of Santiago de Chile, has been appointed as the new director of CEDENNA, replacing Dr. Juan Escrig Murúa.

With a solid academic background, Dr. Casagrande holds a Bachelor's and Doctorate in Physics and has developed a distinguished career in the study of nanomaterials and magnetism. His research focuses on the development of magnetic nanostructures with applications in heavy metal decontamination, sensors, and nanobiomedicine.

The Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) welcomed Dr. Marcos Oliva, a distinguished academic from the Faculty of Mathematics, Astronomy, Physics and Computing of the National University of Córdoba, Argentina. During his visit, Dr. Oliva expressed his enthusiasm for the scientific and human capabilities of the center:

Last Thursday, November 28, the Universidad Central de Chile celebrated its 42nd anniversary in a solemn ceremony held in the Aula Magna "Fundadores". During the event, the institution's trajectory as a pluralistic, inclusive, non-profit educational institution with a democratic governance model unique in the country was highlighted.

Dr. Samuel Baltazar, researcher at the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA), together with his team, visited the Leonardo Da Vinci School in Pitrufquén to launch the 1st School Science and Technology Fair.

The main objective of the activity was to promote scientific culture and highlight the benefits of science, technology and innovation, bringing this knowledge closer to the educational community. During the fair, students and teachers had the opportunity to present various school projects, fostering interest in scientific research from an early age.

In a day marked by the exchange of knowledge and the projection of innovative solutions, Dr. Khotso Mokhele, Chairman of the Board of Westfalia Fruit Chile and a leading figure in science and innovation at a global level, visited CEDENNA facilities to learn about the advances in nanotechnology applied to the food and fruit sector.

In a joint effort with the Chilean Network of Chemistry Teachers, CEDENNA organized the First National Training Meeting in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, an unprecedented event aimed at strengthening the pedagogical capabilities of chemistry teachers from across the country.

The event, held at our facilities, brought together leading specialists in the field and an audience of professors interested in bringing advances in nanoscience to Chilean classrooms.

The Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) is pleased to announce the winners of the 2024 version of the “CEDENNA Images Contest”, an initiative that combines science and art through images captured by electron microscopy and creatively transformed by students, technological developers and researchers from the center.

The Director of the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA), Dr. Juan Escrig, together with a team of researchers from the Center, took part in the XXIV Chilean Physics Symposium (SOCHIFI 2024), held this year at the University of La Frontera, in Temuco.

Yesterday, Monday, November 25, 2024, the Center for the Development of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) received a first-class visit. Dr. Jay Gan, a renowned chemist from the University of Riverside, California, United States, toured our facilities and learned about the research advances we are developing.

During his visit, Dr. Gan had the opportunity to explore several key laboratories at CEDENNA, including Electron Microscopy, Nanobiomedicine, Packaging Technologies, Nanostructure Chemistry and Nanosecurity.

In a day marked by interest and learning, students of the Master of Science in Industrial Civil Engineering at Diego Portales University toured the facilities of the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA).

During the visit, students had the opportunity to explore the advances in #Nanotechnology and #Nanoscience promoted by the center, and learned about the work carried out in the following laboratories:
