Stanford and IBM researchers have recently patented methods for making a new class of multi-branched macromolecules with well-defined molecular weights and surface structures.
Researchers in Prof. Zhenan Bao's lab at Stanford have developed a series of imidazole derivatives for solution processed, n-type doped organic electronic devices.
Researchers in Hongjie Dai's lab have developed a low-cost method for making large scale, pristine, and functionalized graphene sheets for electronic and biological applications. The method produces single-layer graphene sheets that are stably suspended in organic solvents.
Engineers in Prof. Butrus Khuri-Yakub's laboratory have developed a patented, simple, cost efficient, CMUT (capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers) fabrication process with incomparable precision and performance.
