Xiaolong Liu shares his research on quantum matter at NDnano November meeting
Assistant Professor, Physics and Astronomy
The November 2022 NDnano networking lunch meeting featured Xiaolong Liu, Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Dr. Liu joined Notre Dame in the Spring 2022 semester, so this meeting provided many NDnano affiliated faculty their first opportunity to learn about his research interests, instrumentation, equipment, and lab facilities.
Professor Liu’s presentation was titled “Creation and visualization of quantum matter with atomic precision.” During his presentation, Dr. Liu explained his team’s experimental research activities, including bottom-up synthesis of artificial quantum materials, creation of quantum simulators via single molecule manipulations, and atomic-scale visualization of superconducting and topological quantum matter via low-temperature scanning probe microscopy. The session ended with questions and discussion.
NDnano sponsors monthly networking meetings to provide a forum for faculty and staff to discuss recent research, probe new ideas, and connect with new collaborators. Notre Dame faculty and staff are invited to attend and join in the discussion to learn and advance research at Notre Dame. Visit NDnano Events to learn about future networking sessions.

- Family guy: Notre Dame anthropologist Lee Gettler broadens perspectives on fatherhood, raising healthy childrenIn his Hormones, Health, and Human Behavior Laboratory inside Corbett Family Hall, Lee Gettler has freezers full of saliva samples (as well as fingernail clippings) from people from around the world. By studying the chemical composition of these specimens, the associate professor of anthropology has developed several groundbreaking studies that have focused attention on — and reframed perspectives about — fatherhood. Gettler has focused on testosterone levels in men — in places as nearby as South Bend and locations as far away as the Philippines and the Republic of the Congo — and how those levels change (or don’t change) as they grow, age, and become fathers. His goal is to examine and share the diverse ways that fathers and families around the world raise children, and to support the wide range of approaches to bringing up healthy youth.

The contract was awarded under the U.S. Army STTR program, which encourages small, high-tech U.S.-based businesses (in partnership with major research institutions) to provide cutting-edge research and development solutions in response to critical defense needs. As with many agile technology companies, Tessellated is uniquely positioned to address the U.S. Army's modernization priorities. …
- Notre Dame to host listening session on national radio spectrum strategyAccess to a key natural resource is at a premium, and it’s not petroleum or lithium — it’s the radio frequency spectrum. Radio frequencies are allocated to broadcasting, navigation (GPS) services and public safety networks, but the increasing demands of commercial wireless, especially 5G and Wi-Fi networks, as well as the greater needs of scientific, satellite and defense applications, among others, require paradigm shifts in the management of the radio spectrum and in coordination of research and development around it.…
