Over 1 million patients get catheter-related infections annually. A $1 adaptation developed at Notre Dame could save thousands of lives each year. Fans at Notre Dame Stadium just met Professor Ana Flores-Mireles and her team that have developed a simple silicone-oil coating that keeps bacteria and fungi from sticking to the device entirely.

What if a robot could go where people can’t? Notre Dame researchers are developing a soft, flexible robot designed to navigate through narrow, dangerous spaces to help first responders locate people trapped in rubble: go.nd.edu/FFRoboticSearchand…
The image shows a narrow, underground tunnel beneath rubble. The tunnel is dimly lit with revealing a rough, rocky floor. In the center is a soft, snake-like white robot that can maneuver in the rubble easily.

A proud moment for Goswamilab to see Charlie complete his #NSFREU summer capstone research. Charlie joined my lab last fall, and I can already see him transitioning from trainee to researcher, thinking critically and troubleshooting. Way to go, Charlie! @NDBios @NDscience

Statement from Rev. Robert A. Dowd, C.S.C., on the papal encyclical "Magnifica Humanitas:" In "Magnifica Humanitas," Pope Leo XIV has given us a profound gift: a teaching that reminds us that every human life possesses an inviolable dignity and that safeguarding this dignity must be the foundation of every decision we make as we develop and apply artificial intelligence. Signing this encyclical on the 135th anniversary of "Rerum Novarum," Pope Leo XIII’s historic letter on the rights of workers, is a deliberate choice. Just as Leo XIII addressed the disorientation of the industrial revolution, Leo XIV calls us to moral clarity and solidarity in the midst of this latest societal transformation, underscoring the urgency of the questions humankind faces. At Notre Dame, our mission as a global Catholic research university compels us to advance Pope Leo XIV’s historic contribution to Catholic social tradition through our research, our teaching, and all of our work in service of the common good. The Holy Father has highlighted the critical role that Catholic scholars and researchers — and all those of goodwill — must play in raising moral questions and actively shaping new technologies to ensure they serve the entire human family.

In a cleanroom suit or running 26.2 miles, Charlie Desnoyers ’26 is always on the move. He’s spent nearly as much time in the lab as in the classroom since arriving in South Bend, researching vaccine delivery and solar cells. Meet the Class of 2026: go.nd.edu/46d097
A person in a cleanroom suit is standing behind a glass door in a laboratory filled with advanced scientific equipment. The environment is sterile, with bright lighting and a tiled floor. The person is smiling and waving, holding a phone in the other hand.
