The Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) was featured on TVN's Agricultural Report, where innovative research was highlighted that seeks to extend the shelf life of food through the use of nanotechnology in packaging. The study, conducted by a team of researchers from CEDENNA and Laben Chile, develops new packaging materials with nanoparticles, which prevent the growth of fungi such as Botrytis cinerea (gray mold), responsible for significant losses in agricultural production, especially in fruits such as strawberries.

In the most recent chapter of "Nanos a la Obra", we had the honor of having the participation of two distinguished National Prize winners in Exact Sciences: the Executive Director of the CEDENNA Foundation, Dr. Dora Altbir, and the CEDENNA Associate Researcher, Dr. Miguel Kiwi.

On Thursday, August 8, the new program "Nanos a la Obra" premiered, created in an alliance between Radio Cooperativa Ciencia and CEDENNA to explore the most advanced research in nanoscience and nanotechnology in our country.

Every Thursday, at 12:00 PM, a different episode will be broadcast, with topics such as nanotechnology in mining, nanotechnology in medicine, nanotechnology in agriculture, nanotechnology in food, in the environment and nanosecurity, in construction and energy, and a special chapter, in which the future of nanoscience and nanotechnology will be discussed.

The TVN Agricultural Report and Channel 24 Horas featured the work of CEDENNA researcher and University of Santiago's Faculty of Chemistry and Biology professor, Dr. Luis Costandil, and his team. The report details the "Nanoencapsulated Biofungicides" project, which promises to revolutionize the protection of national vineyards and orchards, offering sustainable and effective solutions.

An entertaining conversation with Dr. Gustavo Zúñiza was held by Dr. Gabriel León in his program "Rockstars" that is broadcast on TXSPlus, an audiovisual medium specialized in science and technology.

Interview conducted by Radio Cooperativa Ciencia with Dr. Patricia Díaz, in charge of the CEDENNA Nanobiomedicine Laboratory, about the innovative cancer treatment being developed in this research center. Using magnetic nanoparticles, CEDENNA is working on a technology that has the potential to attack tumors and cancer cells in a highly localized manner, without causing damage to healthy tissues or surrounding organs. The research is led by Dr. Patricia Díaz together with Dr. Patricio Vargas (co-investigator) and student Franco Álvarez.

CNN Chile's Minería 360 highlighted "Nanotechnology: Innovative solutions for Chilean mining" where it is explained how nanotechnology is positioned as a key tool in the Chilean mining industry and other productive sectors, offering innovative and efficient solutions.

CNN Chile also highlighted the advances in Technology Transfer that CEDENNA has through its developments and services, which could be seen recently in the scientific exhibition to leading executives from different companies, such as Copec, Enel, SQM, Codelco, Nestlé, among other.

The "Images of the Nanomundo" Exhibition as an instrument of dissemination that unites science and art to bring nanoscience and nanotechnology closer to audiences of all ages, was the topic addressed by the director of CEDENNA, Dr. Dora Altbir, in the interview that made by the journalist Catalina Palma in the program +100Cia of Canal 13.

Una intensa jornada de formación en nanociencia y nanotecnología contó con la participación de profesores de ciencias de diferentes regiones del país que se dieron cita en el centro de investigación más grande del área, CEDENNA (Centro de Nanociencia y Nanotecnología), ubicado en el Edificio de Investigaciones de la USACH.
