Near-infrared (NIR) imaging is a valuable research tool that produces quality images with high spatial and temporal resolution through millimeter tissue depths.
Stanford researchers at the Poon Lab have developed a method for battery-less, short range transmission of data with very low power and very high data rates. It can potentially replace current near field communications (NFC) systems due to these advantages.
Tracking in vivo cell distribution, migration, and engraftment using conventional techniques including MRI, PET/CT and conventional optical imaging is often hindered by low resolution, radioactive risks, and limited tissue penetration depth.
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.
Stanford researchers have proposed a novel, in vivo, real-time epifluorescence imaging method in the second near-infrared region using single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs).
