Certain types of light have proven to be an effective, minimally-invasive treatment for cancers located on or near the skin when combined with a light-activated drug. But deep-seated cancers, surrounded by tissue, blood, and bone, have been beyond the reach...
“We didn’t know how diverse the bacterial behavior was in such a small amount of space,” said Joshua Shrout, whose article was published in the Journal of Bacteriology.
Power plants, factories, car engines—everything that consumes energy produces heat, much of which is wasted. Thermoelectric devices could capture this wasted heat and convert it into electricity, but their production has been prohibitively costly and complex. Yanliang Zhang, Advanced Materials...
The University of Notre Dame is no stranger to innovative, groundbreaking research. Synthetic rubber, wind tunnels, and wireless transmissions—each of these novel inventions, alongside many others, were developed within the University’s walls. Now, Notre Dame is taking its research enterprise...
