In what is considered the most comprehensive post-pandemic survey of trust in scientists, researchers have found a majority of people around the world carry widespread trust in scientists — believing them to be honest, competent, qualified and concerned with public well-being. Researchers …
As urban populations grow and temperatures rise, city dwellers will rely on cool, green, shady places as never before. Green infrastructure—such as green roofs, rain gardens, urban forests—offer sustainable solutions to the water management and heat dissipation challenges unique to cities. …
The lymphatic system plays a vital role in many health issues, such as heart disease, neurodegenerative conditions, inflammation, metabolic disorders, cancer, and lymphedema. Despite its importance, scientists still lack many details about how the lymphatic system grows and functions, and this …
Wind spirals and swirls around wind turbines in complex, chaotic patterns that are difficult to predict. Accurately modeling these dynamics could significantly enhance the reliability and efficiency of wind farms. With this goal, engineers at the University of Notre Dame and mathematicians at …
Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is used to create everything from toys to jet engine parts to dental implants. Materials such as plastic, aluminum, concrete, and even chocolate have been successfully used in printers. Glass remains one of the most challenging materials to 3D …
Heart muscle cells can generate and pass on electrical signals with little energy loss. When these cells are engineered to connect in specific ways, they can work together to handle and remember complex information—sometimes more efficiently and flexibly than modern computers. In a project …
Adam Czajka, associate professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Notre Dame, has been appointed the director of the AI Trust and Reliability (AITAR) Lab within the Lucy Family Institute for Data & Society. In harmony with the initiatives of the University’s …
On Saturday, November 9, 2024, the University of Notre Dame marked the successful opening of a Large Mach 10 Quiet Wind Tunnel, the first and only facility of its kind in the world. The facility supplies a unique environment for exploring hypersonic flight dynamics, turbulence, flight control, and …
Toby Jia-Jun Li, assistant professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Notre Dame, has been appointed the director of the Human-Centered Responsible Artificial Intelligence (HRAI) Lab in the Lucy Family Institute for Data & Society. In alignment with the …
The most common reason people with lower-limb loss stop using their prosthesis is an ill-fitting socket. Everyday activities such as standing, walking, or stair climbing put enormous pressures on the soft tissues of the residual limb, which are not well-adapted to managing the forces these …
