Scientists in the Zhenan Bao Research Group at Stanford developed a process for direct photo-patterning of electronic polymers that improves device density of elastic circuits over 100x.
The Zhenan Bao Research Group at Stanford University has designed an intrinsically stretchable polymeric matrix that allows seamless integration with physically crosslinked PEDOT:PSS, while stabilizing its high stretchability, and high conductivity after all necessary fabricat
Use of diamond in high power and high temperature electronics is ideal due to its inherent properties, notably an ultra-high critical electric field of 10 MW/cm. Electronic devices require p-n junctions to achieve these electric fields, and thus n-doped diamond is required.
Researchers in Prof. Yi Cui's laboratory have used a novel electrospinning process to fabricate a unique, transparent, highly conductive metal nanofiber material that could be used to replace indium tin oxide (ITO) in transparent electrodes.
Researchers in Stanford's Nanoscale Prototyping Laboratory have developed a simple, high throughput method to fabricate ultra-thin, defect-free, single crystal silicon sheets at a competitive cost.
Researchers in Professor Zhenan Bao's group at Stanford University have developed a biomimetic soft electronic skin (e-skin) with multiple levels of biologically inspired patterning that can detect the direction of applied forces.
Stanford researchers at the Fan Lab have proposed a comprehensive approach for controlling the heating and cooling of outdoor coatings, such as paint on automobiles or buildings, without affecting its exterior color.

Stanford researchers patented a method to design, computationally optimize and fabricate efficient optical devices using semiconducting and dielectric nanostructures.
Researchers in Profs. Jonathan Fan and Jim Plummer's laboratory have patented a generalized, CMOS-compatible process to fabricate single crystal metal components on amorphous insulator substrates.
Stanford engineers have developed and tested a nanostructured thin film material that upconverts infrared to visible light and combines electrical and non-linear optical properties in the same layer.
Stanford researchers have discovered a novel method of doping nanowires (NW) and thin films (TF) that greatly improves surface area and performance. The sol-flame method is a fast, simple and low cost way to introduce dopants into NW and TF for a wide variety of applications.
