On Saturday, November 29, Canal 24 Horas TVN broadcast live from the laboratories of the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA), showing the development of the practical day of the first nanoscience and nanotechnology course for doctors, an unprecedented initiative in Chile and a benchmark in Latin America.
Our director, Dr. Dora Altbir, spoke on Radio Bío Bío about the main advances and challenges that will mark the new stage of the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA), in a context of strengthening applied research and its impact on the development of the country.
Our director, Dora Altbir, participated in an interview at the CNN Chile studio, where she discussed the strategic role of the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) in the country's scientific and technological ecosystem.
The program Conciencia 24/7, on Canal 24 Horas, recently aired a report dedicated to the amazing world of nanotechnology and its applications, addressing how this area of knowledge is transforming key sectors such as construction, medicine, and electronics..
An innovative strategy for addressing the challenges of sustainable agriculture was presented in the latest episode of the program ¿Qué es tu huella? (What's Your Footprint?), broadcast by TVN and Canal 24 Horas, which highlights the work led by Dr. Gustavo Zúñiga, a professor at the Faculty of Chemistry and Biology of the University of Santiago de Chile (USACH) and a researcher at the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA).
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.
