Researchers in Prof. Shanhui Fan's laboratory have invented a thermal extraction device that is designed to enhance power emission from thermal radiators up to 10x compared to conventional structures.
Despite widespread adoption of stationary wireless charging, dynamic wireless power transfer suffers from a sensitivity to relative movement of the device with respect to the power source.
Engineers in Prof. Shanhui Fan's laboratory have developed an efficient, scalable, in-situ method to train, configure and tune complex photonic circuits for artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Stanford researchers have created an integrated cooling textile (called i-Cool) with an unique functional design for personal perspiration management (PPM).
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.
Researchers in the Fan group have developed a method for epitaxial growth of double heterojunction semiconductor diodes capable of suppressing parasitic non-radiative recombination effects.
Image sensors are used across the board in high-resolution image sensing technologies, and critically rely on their ability to separate colors of light.
This software is a transformative technology in the fields of AI and digital image processing, offering a breakthrough approach to convolution, particularly for large-scale images.
Stanford inventors have developed a framework that performs digitally verifiable photonic matrix-vector multiplication in integrated photonic networks, which may potentially enable energy-efficient hash functions and cryptocurrency mining.
Machine learning models currently require extensive computational resources and this demand is growing rapidly with new models and applications being introduced.
Stanford researchers in The Fan Group have developed an optical device that can fine tune the color of each photon in a stream of light. Existing methods simply reroute photons of a particular frequency, but do not actually change the photons frequencies.
