Stanford engineers have developed biophilic illusions, which are technologies that augment building interiors using elements from ambient nature such as shifting sunlight, swaying tree shadows, and wildlife sounds.
Researchers at Stanford University have developed Schottky contacts for aluminum nitride-based microelectronic devices. The contacts enable reliable device operation at up to 600 ºC, opening up opportunities for high temperature microelectronic performance.
Researchers led by Stanford University's Stephen Tsai have developed new design and manufacturing approaches for glueless/boltless joining of metallic grid and carbon composite skins.
Stanford University researchers have developed a system that achieves atmospheric water harvesting with high specific productivity, defined as the rate of water collected per mass of absorbent material.
Wastewater treatment facilities commonly add chlorine or chloramines at the end of treatment as a final disinfectant. While effective, any wastewater must be dechlorinated before release to prevent killing aquatic organisms.
Wastewater treatment is energy and cost intensive. Demand charges on electricity bills often account for a large share of electricity costs, creating strong incentives for shifting load peaks away from time-of-use periods.
This methodology computes the marginal energy utilization for supplying individual water users based on the existing topology of the water distribution network (WDN), pipe sizes and baseline flows.
Researchers at Stanford University, Technical University of Denmark, and Norwegian University of Science and Technology have developed a software suite that can predict long-term performance of reinforced concrete based on multiple, fundamental, physics phenomenon like humidit
Stanford researchers have integrated concrete durability modeling software into building information models (BIM) for better management, repair, and assessment of structural elements like roads, bridges, dams, buildings, etc.
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 have developed SCOA-DUPI (Simulation-based Control Optimization Algorithm with Dynamic Uncertain Parameter Inversion), which relies on real-time data collected though embedded sensors that can be used to ease the operational challenges of Managed Aquifer R
Researchers in Prof. Shanhui Fan's laboratory have developed a flexible, transparent, nanostructured material that enables daytime radiative cooling while preserving the color of the underlying substrate.
