At the February NDnano networking lunch for affiliated faculty and staff, Dr. Guo presented background information on opportunities to lower energy consumption in industrial gas separations and how polymer membranes could be utilized.
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.
Prashant Kamat, Rev. John A. Zahm Professor of Science at the University of Notre Dame, has been selected as the 2023 Crano Memorial Lecturer. The Crano Memorial Lecture Series is overseen by the Akron Section of the American Chemical Society...
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.
Pinar Zorlutuna, professor of aerospace and mechanical engineering at the University of Notre Dame, has been awarded an endowed professorship. She was named Notre Dame’s Roth-Gibson Professor of Bioengineering, effective…
At the January NDnano network lunch, Dr. Zhang shared how he and his group are developing methods to manufacture and transform a broad range of emerging nanoscale materials into sustainable and flexible energy, sensor, and electronic systems.
Five faculty members at the University of Notre Dame have been elected by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) as lifetime fellows. The fellows include Patricia A. Champion, Jon P. Camden, Yih-Fang Huang, Ahsan Kareem and Rebecca Surman....
This month, the University of Notre Dame and Sierra Space signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to facilitate future collaborations that advance space research and exploration. A leading pureplay commercial space company, Sierra Space is building…
Professor Datta gave an overview of her work to measure and better understand the effects of solid stress in and around the tumor and its potential effects on tumor therapies.
Jeffrey F. (Jeff) Rhoads, a leading mechanical engineering researcher and pioneer in engineering education, has been appointed vice president for research at the University of Notre Dame by Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., University president.
Nosang Myung, the Bernard Keating-Crawford Professor of Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, has been elected as a Fellow of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI). Election as an NAI Fellow is the highest professional honor awarded solely…
Physics professor Xiaolong Liu studies novel quantum states of matter including unconventional superconductivity. His lab works to image the wave functions of electrons in complex materials.
Khachatur Manukyan, Research Associate Professor in the Nuclear Science Laboratory, Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Notre Dame, was awarded a Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) grant from the Department of Defense. This grant aims to implement...
One of the IDEA Center at the University of Notre Dame’s primary missions is to commercialize the inventions that emerge from faculty research. The commercialization process moves faculty discoveries…
Notre Dame Materials Science and Engineering students recently toured the Institute for Structure and Nuclear Astrophysics (ISNAP) in Nieuwland Science Hall and learned how these unique facilities are utilized in materials research. Khachatur…
During his presentation, Dr. Liu explained his team’s experimental research activities, including bottom-up synthesis of artificial quantum materials, creation of quantum simulators via single molecule manipulations, and atomic-scale visualization of superconducting and topological quantum matter via low-temperature scanning probe microscopy.
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...
Eight students were recognized for presentation of their research during the poster session at the 7th annual Notre Dame-Purdue Soft Matter and Polymers Symposium. The event was held in Jordan Hall of Science on October 29. This collaborative…
