The Applied Materials Chemistry (AMC) laboratory headed by Prof. Carmela Aprile specializes in materials synthesis and their catalytic applications, with a particular focus on sustainable processes. One of the group's strengths is also represented by advanced characterization techniques, in particular solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, which is developed in close collaboration with Dr. Luca Fusaro.

The absorption of light by molecules has applications in microscopy, medicine and data storage. With this research, the researcher from the UNamur NISM institute fills an experimental gap, which will enable molecular engineers to develop new and more efficient compounds in their various fields of application.

Yves Caudano, F.R.S.-FNRS qualified researcher, member of the NaXys and NISM Institutes and the UR-LLS (Lasers and Spectroscopies Laboratory) research unit, is taking part in a major European research project.

This is a first in the Belgian medical and academic landscape: a university observatory for rural medicine has been set up at the University of Namur. Its mission is to understand the shortage of doctors in rural areas and identify solutions, in collaboration with local stakeholders, to encourage future GPs to set up in these regions.

Dr. Sébastien Mouchet, a researcher at UNamur and member of the NISM and ILEE Institutes, has just published the results of research focusing on the effects of pollution on coral reef fish in MDPI-Optics. The findings of the international, multidisciplinary team lead to crucial conclusions with implications for the health of marine ecosystems.

At the beginning of each academic year, the UNamur Board of Governors grants NARC Fellow status to researchers who have demonstrated a high-level research CV and who have recently received a prestigious prize or funding. This year, 3 researchers have been awarded this status, which offers them support to pursue their research in the best possible conditions.

The documentary produced as part of the experimental archaeology research project, "Specularia", wins an award at an American festival, organized by the University of Pittsburgh and the University of South Carolina!

There's a saying that goes: "On Saint Catherine's Day, all wood takes root". The managers of the Haugimont Estatedidn't wait until 24 November to rejuvenate the orchard. Just after All Saints' Day, 80 tall new apple trees were planted.
