Engineers at Stanford have invented a smart toilet platform that will autonomously monitor excreted waste from humans. We describe easily deployable hardware and software for the long-term analysis of a user's excreta through data collection and models of human health.
Stanford researchers have built a sound powered, wireless medical implant. The implant contains a piezoelectric energy receiver, an integrated circuit chip, and a loop antenna.
Stanford researchers in the Khuri-Yakub Ultrasonics Group have developed a powerful new bio-sensor platform technology for a highly sensitive non-invasive detection of molecules and particles, suitable for various types of point of care diagnostic tests.
Stanford researchers have designed a powerful plasmonic coaxial aperture as a low-power optical trap for nanosized specimens, a regime that is inaccessible with the other designs.
Stanford University and Samsung researchers have patented a microfluidic-based platform that can rapidly fabricate and characterize Organic Thin Film Transistor (OTFT) arrays composed of solution-processable organic semiconducting polymers.
W.E. Moerner and Adam Cohen have patented the Anti-Brownian ELectrokinetic trap (ABEL trap) which can trap, measure, and manipulate sub-micron objects (e.g. single molecules) in solution at ambient temperature.
Engineers in the Stanford Microfluidics Laboratory have developed a sensitive, high-resolution, label-free detection method for identifying and quantifying analytes on chip-based electrophoretic assays.
Researchers in Prof. Juan Santiago's laboratory have developed a novel isotachophoresis (ITP) method to easily and seamlessly integrate various electrophoresis-based detection techniques with ITP preconcentration.
