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 …
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 …
This fall, the College of Engineering welcomes six new postdoctoral fellows through the Provost’s Postdoctoral Fellowship Program, a university-wide initiative. Now in its second year, the program supports talented, highly motivated scholars committed to Notre Dame’s mission—to be a powerful …
Notre Dame Nanoscience and Technology (NDnano) has announced the awardees of the inaugural Notre Dame Nanofabrication Facility (NDNF) Support Grants. The grant program is designed to catalyze new research involving the NDNF, a world-class, 9,000 square-foot teaching and research …
Shifting sunlight, bubbles, and silt constantly interfere with an autonomous underwater vehicle’s (AUVs) ability to find its way. GPS can’t help them, since water blocks its signals. Sound waves—the pings made famous by submarines—travel rapidly through water, yet they too have their …
The Wireless Institute is pleased to announce that Dr. Jonathan Chisum has been granted a two-year experimental license by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), enabling advanced wireless research and real-world 5G experimentation on the University of Notre Dame campus. This experimental …
Four teams of researchers across the College of Science and the College of Engineering have been selected to receive seed funding from the Notre Dame Sensor Initiative (NDSI) for research advancing affordable, fast, and accurate platforms for on-site opioid detection. As opioid …
Engineers have long focused their efforts on confining signal-carrying photons to chips. Every photon that escapes, they reasoned, is information lost. But one group of researchers has stood that paradigm on its head. By deliberately “leaking” photons into the air, they created, not the …
The University of Notre Dame is accepting applications for the next cohort of Provost’s Postdoctoral Fellows, a select group of early-career scholars in science, engineering, and the liberal arts who are committed to Notre Dame’s mission to be a powerful force for good in the world. Up to …
On Wednesday (August 6), the doors of the new Wideband Test Facility at the University of Notre Dame (South Bend, Indiana, USA) were officially opened to researchers and industry partners. The test facility is the latest addition to the University’s existing facilities for microelectronics …
