"The true nature of dark matter is a mystery. This research sheds new light on the nature of dark matter and its distribution in the Milky Way and may also improve the accuracy of the precision pulsar data." — Notre Dame Physics & Astronomy Professor John LoSecco newsweek.com/cosmic-timekee…

“We believe our new method is more efficient, environmentally friendly and cost-effective than current lithium-ion battery recycling techniques." — Notre Dame Physics & Astronomy' Khachatur Manukyan 🔋 bit.ly/4fmxPGv

Promising new battery recycling method 🔋 A new patent-pending system uses a chemical reaction that produces its own heat to regenerate the core materials in spent lithium-ion batteries. bit.ly/4fmxPGv

#PFAS: the Forever Problem University of Notre Dame is tackling "forever chemicals," identifying environmental impacts, developing new ways to measure and manage contaminated water supplies, and exploring new methods of treatment. bit.ly/3Aj2SDa

Physics professor Graham Peaslee has developed a portable PIGE unit that will make it easy to screen for #PFAS in the field. With a particle accelerator in the hands of people who need it, Peaslee sees an opportunity to make real change: go.nd.edu/68c932

John LoSecco, Notre Dame Physics & Astronomy professor, has discovered a novel way to potentially identify the presence of dark matter in space by using very precise celestial clocks: A type of neutron star known as a pulsar. science.nd.edu/news-and-media…

Professor John LoSecco was among a handful of researchers recently honored by American Physical Society, which named the Morton Salt Mine in Painesville, Ohio, the “birthplace of neutrino astronomy” and designated it as a historic landmark. bit.ly/3YiZobZ

One Month Away! 🎄 Make plans to join us at the 4th annual Christmas Lecture, this year in downtown #SouthBend at the Century Center! ✨ bit.ly/3AqokXb

Explore the invisible Universe with the James Webb Space Telescope and learn about infrared light at the 2024 Christmas Lecture! 📅 Friday, Dec. 6 ⌚️ 6:30 pm 📍 Century Center in Downtown South Bend 🎄 bit.ly/3AqokXb 🍪 Free cookies & hot chocolate bar

Understanding low-temperature plasma interactions with a aqueous medium requires the development of a robust method for solvated electrons quantification! That’s what we worked on between Notre Dame Physics & Astronomy and Institut de Chimie Physique and our latest article is out ! 🤝🏻 doi.org/10.1063/5.0235…

Dr. Michelle Thaller, former assistant director for science communication at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, will present this year's Christmas Lecture. 📅 Friday, Dec. 6 ⌚️ 6:30 pm 📍 Century Center in Downtown South Bend ⭐️ More: bit.ly/3V1RAdM

Laura Fields, associate professor in the Department of Physics & Astronomy, has received the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) for her research studying the properties of fundamental particles called neutrinos. bit.ly/40tSstK

Scientists at University of Notre Dame synthesized a material that exhibits a rare and promising form of magnetism known as altermagnetism, which could reshape how computers store and process information in the future, a new study in Nature Communications shows: bit.ly/3ETeFe2
