For the sixth year in a row, Professor Elvira Fortunato has been voted “Trusted Personality in Research and Science” by Reader's Digest readers.

This year’s results are particularly remarkable, with a significant leap in trust: rising from 25% last year to 48% in 2026.

This recognition, based on the "Trusted Brands 2026" study (conducted between September and November 2025), uses an open-ended nomination process, making this spontaneous choice by the public even more meaningful.

Prof. Daniela Godinho, Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Lisbon, will be the guest speaker at NANOMAT-Talk #16, where she will present a lecture titled “Microwave Imaging to Improve Breast Cancer Diagnosis.”

The event will take place on March 19, at 2:00 p.m., at the Leopoldo Guimarães Amphitheater, CENIMAT|i3N.

CENIMAT|i3N at NOVA FCT is part of LEAF – Self-Powered, Self-Reshaping Autarkic Skin for Wireless Motes, a 24-month project funded under the Horizon Europe Hop-On Facility call HORIZON-WIDERA-2025-03-ACCESS-01. CENIMAT|i3N will receive 428.5 k€ to support its activities within the consortium. Led by Emanuel Carlos, LEAF is developing a new generation of sustainable, self-powered electronic skins that integrate energy harvesting, storage and environmental sensing into autonomous wireless motes.
