To promote continued U.S. leadership in electronics, the University of Notre Dame will host a workshop to discuss technical opportunities now on the horizon and consider focus areas where research investment could provide substantive technical benefit.

Before Wilhelm Röntgen, a mechanical engineer, discovered a new type of electromagnetic radiation in 1895, physicians could only dream of being able to see inside the body. Within a year of Röntgen’s discovery,...

The Department of Army has awarded a three-year grant to researchers at the University of Notre Dame to develop techniques to prepare some metastable metals for use in extreme conditions.

David Burghoff, assistant professor of electrical engineering, has received a 2021 National Science Foundation (NSF) Early Career Development (CAREER) award. The award is one of the NSF’s highest honors given in support...

Researchers from Notre Dame have identified a new solvent – an ionic liquid – that improves on emerging desalination technology, directional solvent extraction.

The University of Notre Dame Department of Physics was named one of the 25 best undergraduate programs in physics for 2021 by Bachelor’s Degree Center.

Emily Tsui, Assistant Professor of Chemistry & Biochemistry, has been selected as a recipient of the National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award. This award is the NSF’s most prestigious...

A frequency comb is a laser with a twist that emits many uniformly spaced optical wavelengths. The regularity of the spacing between lines — the comb’s teeth — serves as a ruler for measuring light frequencies.

David Burghoff, assistant...

Stuart Jones and Prashant Kamat, both professors in the College of Science at the University of Notre Dame, have been named Highly Cited Researchers by Clarivate Web of Science.

Jon Camden first found his home at Notre Dame 25 years ago when he declared a chemistry major and signed up to take a credit course on playing the organ. 

Election to NAI Fellow is the highest professional distinction accorded solely to academic inventors.

Peter M. Kogge, Jeanne Romero-Severson and Jennifer L. Tank have been named fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).

One of the greatest challenges in treating disease is developing better ways to direct drugs only to those sites where drug activity is desired. Many drugs act indiscriminately on tissues throughout the body, leading to side effects that render them...

The new doctoral program in Materials Science and Engineering will attract diverse graduate students in multiple disciplines, raising the research profile in science and engineering at the University of Notre Dame, according to Mary Galvin, the William K. Warren Foundation...

A team from Notre Dame in collaboration with researchers at the University of Texas at Austin, Cornell University, and the University of Massachusetts at Lowell has shown how the optical properties of epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) materials can be engineered to improve...

Each fellow will receive a stipend for one year to support their research and dissertation as part of the new doctoral program that launched in 2020.

The Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering is pleased to announce faculty promotions and new hires for the 2020 academic year.

David B. Go has been selected to chair the Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering beginning November 1, 2020.

Condensed matter physicist Yi-Ting Hs, a theorist, joined the Notre Dame faculty in the Department of Physics last month, and enjoys working with experimental physicists to dig beneath their applications and discoveries, unearthing the science behind how to...

A team led by Professor Tengfei Luo is developing novel materials for use in thermoelectric generators. These generators are used in industry to capture the largely untapped energy in heat “wasted” in many manufacturing applications.
