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 developed a versatile molecular engineering approach, via random copolymerization, to gain good processability while maintaining high charge transport and photovoltaic performance for conjugated copolymers.
Stanford researchers are using nanowires (NWs) to raise the performance of organic solar cells. Organic solar cells' main weakness is their lack of efficiency compared to in-organic solar cells.
Researchers from Stanford University have developed a novel method for generating stretchable, transparent, and conductive films. The creation of the film is a simple two step process.
