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...
Purdue University, Indiana University and the University of Notre Dame have formalized a joint research effort to address the nation’s most critical defense challenges. The Indiana Research Consortium (IRC) will leverage the combined strengths, facilities and capabilities of the state’s...

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.
A study from the University of Notre Dame, Massachusetts General Hospital and the National Institutes of Health has identified a combination of medications that may improve blood flow within granulomas, benefiting drug delivery. Published in the Proceedings of the National...
In this episode of Notre Dame Stories, host Jenna Liberto talks to Vice President for Research Jeff Rhoads, who shares his plans for expanding the University's impact globally.
Two researchers from the University of Notre Dame are receiving recognition for publications and images from the Notre Dame Integrated Imaging Facility (NDIIF). Each year, the NDIIF provides imaging awards to recognize and honor researchers who use the facility…
University of Notre Dame researchers will gather new insights about cancerous tumors by taking their science to space aboard NASA’s 30th SpaceX commercial resupply services mission.
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...
