During the 2025-2026 fiscal year, the University of Notre Dame continued its trajectory of research growth, submitting the most proposals and receiving the highest value of external research awards in the institution’s history. “I want…
With the start of the fall semester Notre Dame Nanoscience & Technology (NDnano) resumed its monthly faculty networking meetings. Professor Steven Koester (pictured left) and Professor Saurja…
Some scientific research takes place on a scale so small that scholars need specialized tools to get a good look at their work. These instruments, which can capture images down to the size of an atom, operate much like a...
In the summer of 2017, a University of Notre Dame student returned to Puebla. She had studied there the previous fall and decided to go back—this time as a Harper Cancer Research Institute-funded intern, working in Rocío Baños Lara's laboratory...
Scientists used to think that when a cell released a tiny, membrane-covered bubble—an extracellular vesicle (EV)—it was just taking out the trash. Then, in the 1990s and early 2000s, researchers discovered that these circulating microscopic bubbles were actually part of...
Can a superconductor turn heat flow into a detectable electrical signal without the motion of magnetic vortices? This response, known as the Nernst effect, was long thought to be hidden because superconductors carry current without a voltage drop and screen...
As demand for artificial intelligence grows, researchers and technology companies are looking beyond earth for ways to power the massive computing infrastructure AI will require. Google’s Project Suncatcher envisions a network of interconnected, solar-powered satellites equipped with the company’s Tensor...
Professor Yanliang Zhang and colleagues have created a novel hybrid bioprinting technique that produces vascular networks containing capillaries fewer than 10 micrometers in diameter—smaller than that of the finest human hair—completing a crucial step in realizing lab-grown organs.
Five researchers at the University of Notre Dame earned a Faculty Early Career Development Program Award (CAREER), the most prestigious award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for early-career faculty. Those who win CAREER…
The University of Notre Dame is a critical partner in a new multi-university research consortium selected by the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H), an agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Making Obstetrics Care Smart...
Jonathan Chisum, an associate professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, has spent nearly a decade researching the fundamental science of a new, low-power antenna that could change the rules of wireless connectivity. Chisum’s...
In a study published in Nature Communications, Saurja DasGupta, a biochemist at the University of Notre Dame, and colleagues present a key mechanism for sustaining RNA-based life: an engineered enzyme that selectively recognizes and repairs broken RNA.
Notre Dame Nanoscience and Technology (NDnano) has announced the awardees of the inaugural Notre Dame Nanofabrication Facility (NDNF) Support Grants. The grant program is designed to catalyze new research involving…
