The Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) offered a new science outreach talk for students and teachers facing the challenge of incorporating Nanoscience and Nanotechnology into the curricula of the 3rd and 4th year courses of the secondary level.
On this occasion, fifty students from Liceo 7 in Providencia had the opportunity to talk with the 2007 National Prize for Exact Sciences winner and member of CEDENNA, Dr. Miguel Kiwi Tichauer, who explained the history and basic principles of Quantum Mechanics and answered numerous questions from the attendees.
Amid applause from the attendees, including several professors from the upper courses and members of the physics, chemistry and biology electives of the establishment, Dr. Kiwi answered questions as diverse as when the use of quantum computers will become widespread or what name he would give to a newly discovered nanoparticle.
The meeting is part of our center's ongoing effort to promote cutting-edge science among young people, many of whom are likely to choose careers or activities related to it.
