The digital media Núcleo Rural recently highlighted the article "Chilean agriculture adapts to climate change with nanotechnology", which addresses an innovative project led by Dr. Gustavo Zúñiga, researcher at CEDENNA and academic at the University of Santiago de Chile (USACH).

This project seeks to take advantage of the properties of native plants such as maqui and boldo to develop nanoparticles with unique applications. Among its benefits is the effective control of pests in crops, a key solution to face agricultural challenges in the context of climate change.

The portal Ciencia en Chile recently highlighted the article entitled "INN Accreditation positions CEDENNA as a reference in the measurement of nanomaterial toxicity." In the article, Dr. Dora Altbir, director of the CEDENNA Foundation and National Prize for Exact Sciences, underlined the relevance of this certification: "The INN certification validates the technical competence and reliability of our Nanobioassay Laboratory, providing full confidence to companies that require our services.

Today we want to highlight the note published by USACH Al Día de la entitled "INN Accreditation positions CEDENNA as a reference in the measurement of nanomaterial toxicity"!

This important recognition of the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) marks a milestone in our research work. The accreditation of the Nanobioassay Laboratory under the NCh-ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard consolidates our position as a reference in the field, highlighting the ability to guarantee reliable and precise results in nanomaterial bioassays.

Today we highlight the publication of the Chilean Medical Association (Colmed) on its website about the unprecedented collaboration between the CEDENNA Foundation and the Chilean Medical Association, where the webinar “Nanotechnology for the medicine of the future: a first step towards clinical innovation” is presented, an event that will serve as an opening for the course “Nanotechnology for Medical Professionals”.

"When we think of Christmas, the last thing that usually comes to mind is nanotechnology. Twinkling lights, perfectly wrapped presents, shiny ornaments on the tree and cutting-edge gadgets seem more like the product of Christmas magic than scientific advances. However, this invisible magic has a name: nanotechnology."

We highlight the note published by Cooperativa Ciencia on the seventh chapter of "Nanos a la Obra" where CEDENNA researchers, Roberto Lavín and Daniela Alburquenque, address the impact of nanotechnological concrete and the development of advanced materials for lithium-ion batteries⁠ .

We highlight the opinion column of the Director of CEDENNA, Dr. Juan Escrig Murúa, published by the University of Santiago de Chile (USACH) within the framework of the celebration of Nanotechnology Day. 

In his column, Dr. Escrig highlighted: “At CEDENNA we are committed to continuing to innovate, to continue collaborating with the public and private sectors, and to bring science closer to society. The challenges we face are great, but we are convinced that, on the nanometric scale, we can find great solutions.”

Today we highlight the opinion column of the Director of the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) Dr. Juan Escrig within the framework of Nanotechnology Day entitled "How to achieve great solutions from the nanometric scale", published by Cooperativa Ciencia.

The sixth chapter of "Nanos a la Obra" by Cooperativa Ciencia and the CEDENNA Center is now available!

On this occasion, the Director of the Nanosafety Area of ​​CEDENNA Dr. Mauricio Escudey and the Academician of the Institute of Basic Sciences of the University Diego Portales and Associate Researcher at CEDENNA Dr. Manuel Gacitúa, spoke about Nanosafety and the Environment.
