The views: golden ✨
The Sacred Heart of Jesus statue stands in the foreground of a campus garden filled with red geraniums. Behind the statue, the golden dome of the University of Notre Dame’s Main Building rises above green trees against a bright blue sky with wispy clouds. The image is framed to show the statue facing the dome, with the flowers softly blurred in the foreground.

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.

Notre Dame researchers have shown that a novel qubit platform made from a single electron trapped on frozen neon is 10 to 10,000 times quieter than traditional qubits — helping solve one of quantum computing’s biggest challenges: noise. bit.ly/4nGSsBR
An electron (represented by the ball) is controlled by a resonator (red wires) above a solid neon surface (the transparent square piece under the ball). Noise (disturbances) in the environment (represented by the distortion) becomes quiet around the electron and neon (clear area). Image by Xu Han/Argonne National Laboratory.

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.

A group of people stand together on a football field, smiling and posing for a photo. The field is filled with others in the background, possibly celebrating an event. Some individuals wear apparel displaying "Notre Dame." The scene is lively and joyful.

Jerry Rullo ’26 didn’t plan to play football at Notre Dame. Focused on academics and his dream of becoming a physician, the neuroscience major joined Army ROTC, won a Bengal Bouts heavyweight title, and took a chance trying out as a football walk-on. bit.ly/48T0YYm
