What if a material’s very nature predisposed it to generating powerful terahertz radiation (THz)—a form of invisible light being explored for applications ranging from ultrafast communications and imaging to quantum technologies? Most conventional terahertz sources generate these waves …
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 a critical …
William F. Schneider, whose research uses molecular-level insights to address some of the most pressing challenges in energy and environmental sustainability, has been elected a Fellow of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE). Election to Fellow represents the highest grade of …
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 …
When the echoes of the marching band fade and the last of more than 77,000 fans depart, the memories remain—but so does the trash, an average of 51 tons of it. Plastic cups, wrappers and cans spill from overflowing trash receptacles, collect along pathways, and, carried by the wind, scatter …
Thomas O’Sullivan, Frank M. Freimann Collegiate Professor of Biomedical Electronics in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, has been elected a Fellow of SPIE, the International Society for Optics and Photonics. He is among 59 researchers from around the world …
Hsueh-Chia Chang, Bayer Corporation Professor of Engineering in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Notre Dame, has received two significant honors this summer—one national and one local. Nationally, in recognition of sustained excellence in the field …
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 (MOCS) program to eliminate …
Nishanth Gadiyar, assistant professor of electrical engineering at the University of Notre Dame, has been awarded the 2026 Andrew W. Smith Outstanding Young Member Achievement Award by the IEEE Industry Applications Society (IAS). The award recognizes Gadiyar for his “contributions to …
