 The Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) will open its nanotechnology course to healthcare students and professionals for the first time. The initiative, recently highlighted by Cooperativa Ciencia, seeks to bring the most innovative scientific advances to those on the front lines of clinical practice.

The tenth version of the ProNano 2025 workshop, developed by CEDENNA, was recently highlighted by the Cooperativa Ciencia media, recognizing its valuable contribution to scientific dissemination and education in the country.

The initiative took place at the University of Santiago de Chile (USACH) and brought together teachers from various regions of the country with the goal of bringing nanoscience closer to classrooms.

The newspaper Usach Al Día, part of the University of Santiago de Chile, recently published an article highlighting the tenth edition of our ProNano workshop, a key opportunity for teacher training in nanoscience and nanotechnology. According to the publication, the workshop included the participation of teachers from different regions of the country, who immersed themselves in a training session designed to provide tools aligned with the new secondary school curriculum.

CEDENNA continues to excel in scientific research and innovation. Recently, the University of Santiago de Chile's publication, "USACH al día," published an article entitled: "INN Accreditation Positions CEDENNA as a Leader in Nanomaterial Toxicity Measurement." In this article, CEDENNA Director Dr. Juan Escrig highlighted: "This accreditation will increase industry confidence in our services, facilitating collaborative projects in sectors such as health, energy, and the environment.

Today we want to highlight an interesting opinion column published by Cooperativa, written by Dr. Juan Escrig, Executive Director of the CEDENNA Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, entitled "March and the Beginning of Learning: A Seed of Growth." In his reflection, Dr. Escrig analyzes the beginning of a new academic year and highlights the importance of creating an environment conducive to educational development.

We highlight the opinion column by our director, Dr. Juan Escrig, published in Cooperativa under the title: “Nanotechnology, Drones and Fireworks: The art of illuminating the future.”

In this article, Dr. Escrig explores the positive impact that technologies such as nanotechnology can have on the evolution of traditional fireworks. He also emphasizes how these innovations contribute to reducing environmental impact:

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.
