Notre Dame Nanoscience and Technology (NDnano) promotes collaborative research in science and engineering to address unsolved scientific and technical questions with an aim to promote the greater good. Advances in imaging and characterization, multi-physics modeling, synthesis, growth, and nanofabrication are enabling breakthroughs in all science and engineering disciplines. NDnano is where Notre Dame faculty, researchers, and students meet to broaden understanding, discuss multidisciplinary research opportunities, and shape future research directions.
Steve Koester inducted into the National Academy of Inventors
NDnano's director, Steve Koester, was recently inducted as a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors. Three additional innovators — all affiliated faculty at NDnano — were named Senior Members to the NAI this year: Jonathan Chisum, Patrick Fay, and Thomas O'Sullivan.
11th Annual ND-Purdue Soft Matter and Polymers Symposium
The Notre Dame-Purdue Symposium on Soft Matter & Polymers will take place on Saturday, August 22 at Notre Dame. This symposium focuses on the general synthesis and characterization of synthetic soft materials as well as their broad application.
The day will include both technical sessions with talks from faculty and an afternoon poster session.
Wideband Test Facility
The Wideband Test Facility, combined with Notre Dame’s existing expertise in radio frequency device fabrication and wide-bandgap semiconductors, provides the capabilities necessary for developing resilient communication and spectrum dominance technologies.
