An innovative material could reduce the presence of emerging contaminants in water by more than 70%, using solar energy as a driver. The advancement, led by academic Ángel Leiva from the Solar Energy Research Center (SERC Chile), opens the possibility of applying nanotechnology in treatment plants and productive sectors, addressing a problem […]

The Atacama Desert is one of the regions with the highest ultraviolet radiation on the planet, according to scientific research. Until now, a large part of that energy has been lost because UV radiation is less exploitable by conventional solar panels. A group of experts from SERC Chile hopes to reverse this by capturing UV rays and transforming them into light […]

Authorities from the National Electrical Coordinator and SERC Chile researchers presented the main conclusions of the EPRI study and the measures to strengthen the National Electric System. The National Electrical Coordinator, in conjunction with the Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María, the University of Chile, and the Advanced Center for Electrical and Electronic Engineering (AC3E), conducted the […]

The Regional Government of Arica and Parinacota awarded the University of Chile, representing the Solar Energy Research Center (SERC Chile), the creation of the Ayllu Solar Regional Innovation Center for the 2025–2027 period. The initiative seeks to be a center that addresses and promotes innovation, technology transfer, human capital formation, and the […]
