Although it is not yet visible to the majority, the world is changing by leaps and bounds and it goes hand in hand with nanotechnology. From the most basic applications such as the microscopic copper particles in the socks, to devices that only detect more than twenty diseases through people's breath, this revolution transforms everything into their unstoppable progress.
"This technology uses as main elemente, materials whose dimensions are less than one hundred nanometers”.”.

Moreover, he mentions the total prohibition of this type of material can suppose negative externalities and he bets for a gradual cultural change.
"I am concerned that alternative materials are not considered in the regulations ”.

Students from UC and other Universities took part in
the course called:'Fundamentos de la electroquímica y
fotoelectroquímica: estudio de la unión
semiconductor-electrolito',which was carried out from
July the 26th to the 28th at the Physics Institute and
which was organized by CIEN-UC..jpg)

Under this agreement, investigators of CIEN-UC will give support to the solution of problems which clients of SG ISO Chile have to deal with in different topics, but mainly, in the field of energetic efficiency.
Such document was signed by Max Bañados, Chairman of the CIEN-UC Board and Dean of Physics Faculty; José Mejía López, CIEN-UC Director and Alberto Alonso de la Fuente, SG ISO Chile General Manager.
The MeetUp was organized by CIEN-UC and Centro de Innovacion Anacleto Angelini, both belong to the Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile. Also, it got support from Fundación COPEC-UC.
The japanese scientists Isamu Akasaki, Hiroshi Amano and Shuji Nakamura received Nobel Prize in Physics 2014 last October 7. They were recognized for inventing diodes that emit blue LED lights. This discovery helped to create a new energy source capable to emit more efficient and environmentally friendly white light.
Dr. Samuel Hevia, Research Director from CIEN-UC, was interviewed about this topic by CNN Chile. Hevia said: “we normally use white light, not only red and green. As an example, to iluminate a room is better white light. If we get red, green and blue, the eyes could see white light.”.

New and more efficient medical solution to environmental issues, electronic devices with greater capacity and speed, energy efficiency and multiple uses in the textile, cosmetic and food industry are some of the advantages of nanotechnology. This study area is about technological application of the properties exhibited by the materiales associated to very small structures, typically less than 100 nanometers (1 nanometer is equal to 0,000000001 meters).
The Seminar took place last November 13th at Casa Piedra. A variety of national and international Speakers shared their knowledge about this topic, one of them was Dr. Jose Mejia Lopez, CIEN-UC Director.
