The National Research and Development Agency (ANID) recently published a note highlighting the FONDEF project that seeks to promote the development of space technology in Chile, and in which the Center for the Development of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) actively participates.
The nanoworld has arrived on the screens of CienciaPop!
In the episode “Nanoworld,” science communicator Gabriel León invites us to discover how nanotechnology is revolutionizing science and our lives. From ultra-resistant materials to medical sensors and solutions for environmental decontamination, the program highlights the work of Chilean researchers and startups that are taking science to the next level.
The website of the University of Santiago (USACH) highlighted the participation of researchers from CEDENNA and the director of the CEDENNA Foundation, Dr. Dora Altbir, in a project that seeks to contribute to the agricultural industry through the development of a portable technology for the detection and identification of pesticides in post-harvest
The initiative, funded by ANID and led by the Agricultural Research Institute (INIA), brings together specialists from different institutions, including USACH, Central University, Diego Portales University and the company DECCO.
The media outlet Cooperativa Ciencia highlighted CEDENNA's work within the framework of a national project that seeks to promote space innovation from Chile.
The initiative, led by Adolfo Ibáñez University (UAI) and with the participation of the University of Santiago de Chile (Usach) and CEDENNA, aims to develop advanced nanostructured coatings for nanosatellites, a true “smart protective skin” capable of reducing their weight, optimizing performance and generating savings of up to one million dollars per unit..
Dr. Juan Escrig Murúa, dean of the Faculty of Science at the University of Santiago, Chile and researcher at CEDENNA, recently published a reflection in CIPER entitled “We are infinite beings”, where he invites us to think about the mark that each person leaves on the universe.
The director of the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA), Dr. Dora Altbir, participated in the program Sin Gravedad of Cooperativa Ciencia, hosted by Jorge Lira, where she addressed the main challenges and opportunities of the new institutional period after the awarding of the ANID 2025 national competition for Applied Research Centers.
The science media outlet Conciencia 24.7 of TVN published a note about the CEDENNA Images contest, an initiative that seeks to showcase the beauty of the nanoworld and bring nanotechnology closer to the public through images that combine science, art and dissemination.
This recognition reinforces CEDENNA's commitment to the public communication of science and the promotion of scientific research through accessible and attractive formats for the community.
An initiative of the Center for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (CEDENNA) that seeks to bring cutting-edge research closer to the public through images that reveal the beauty of the nanoworld.
CEDENNA researcher Dr. Patricia Díaz, along with Dr. Osvaldo Berger from the Faculty of Medical Sciences at the University of Santiago, Chile (USACH), were recognized by Cooperativa Ciencia for their work developing an innovative cell culture for corneal regeneration.
This research offers real hope for patients with limbal stem cell deficiency, a condition that currently lacks a cure. This advancement could allow for the recovery of vision and a significant improvement in the quality of life for many people.
Ciencia Cooperative highlights today on its news portal that this Saturday, August 23, the heart of Santiago will transform into a gateway to an invisible universe. As part of the activities organized by the Municipality of Santiago for the Heritage Day for Children and Adolescents, our Center will present its acclaimed traveling exhibition “Images of the Nanoworld” in front of the City Hall.
