Windows welcome light into interior spaces, but they also bring in unwanted heat. A new window coating blocks heat-generating ultraviolet and infrared light and lets through visible light, regardless of the sun’s angle. The coating can be incorporated onto existing...
Chris Hinkle is on the hunt for new materials. He needs them to power faster, smaller and more efficient chips for next-generation microelectronics, so only materials with the right chemistry and structure will do.
Everything from smart phones to supercomputers needs memory, and tomorrow’s devices will demand faster, more energy-efficient memory technologies to store ever increasing data. Non-volatile memory (NVM) is a type of storage that retains data even after the power has been...
Millions of tons of plastic waste enter the oceans each year. The sun’s ultraviolet light and ocean turbulence break down these plastics into invisible nanoparticles that threaten marine ecosystems. In a new study, engineers at the University of Notre Dame...

Xiaobo Sharon Hu, professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Notre Dame, has received the 2023 Marie R. Pistilli Women in Engineering Achievement Award from the Design Automation Conference (DAC). DAC is the largest industry event devoted...
The time-honored Edisonian trial-and-error process of discovery is slow and labor-intensive. This hampers the development of urgently needed new technologies for clean energy and environmental sustainability, as well as for electronics and biomedical devices. “It usually takes 10 to 20...
Rapid advances in computing requires teachers to stay ahead of the technological curve, but who will teach the teachers? For the past seven summers, up to a dozen local area high-school STEM teachers have come to campus for research experiences...
Matthew J. Webber, Keating-Crawford Collegiate Professor of Engineering and associate professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering at the University of Notre Dame, has been inducted as a fellow into the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE).
The fast-growing and aggressive brain tumor known as glioblastoma has so far resisted all therapies, including immunotherapy, a treatment that harnesses the body’s immune system to destroy cancer cells. In a new study, researchers have demonstrated how a safe and...
Researchers at the University of Notre Dame and Vanderbilt University Medical Center have devised a low-cost filter that can rapidly isolate and trap biomarkers for cancer with a 99% success rate.
An allergen-specific inhibitor devised by researchers at the University of Notre Dame and the Indiana University School of Medicine has successfully prevented potentially life-threatening allergic responses to peanuts. The results of the new study were just published in Science Translational Medicine.
Cooling accounts for about 15 percent of global energy consumption. Conventional clear windows allow the sun to heat up interior spaces, which energy-guzzling air-conditioners must then cool down. But what if a window could help cool the room, use no...
Patrick Fay, professor of electrical engineering at the University of Notre Dame, has been awarded an endowed professorship. He was named Notre Dame’s Stinson Professor of Nanotechnology, effective September 1, 2022.
David Burghoff, assistant professor of electrical engineering at the University of Notre Dame, has been named a 2022 Moore Inventor Fellow. He is one of five fellows named this year by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. The fellows program supports scientist-inventors who...
Computers constantly transfer information between processing and memory units, and this shuttling back and forth of data consumes a lot of energy. Siddharth Joshi, assistant professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Notre Dame, and Ph.D. student...
Chemical engineers at the University of Notre Dame have developed a highly effective filter for removing lead and other toxic heavy metals from water. The new filter is sensitive enough to identify and capture one metal ion, even when mixed...
Thomas O’Sullivan, associate professor of electrical engineering at the University of Notre Dame, has been awarded the 2022 IEEE-HKN C. Holmes MacDonald Outstanding Teaching Award “for contributions to creative and inclusive teaching and mentoring in electrical engineering and bioengineering.”
