Researchers in Prof. Hemamala Karunadasa's laboratory have developed inexpensive, robust, high capacity hybrid materials for reversible or irreversible capture of halogens (chlorine, bromine, and iodine gas).
A multidisciplinary team of Stanford researchers have developed a new class of tunable, zinc-based sorbents that use catalytic carbonate chemistry to efficiently capture carbon in the presence of water vapor.
A new method for underground mapping and imaging allows the use of the underground reflections of electromagnetic pulses caused by lightning (occurring up to thousands of miles away) to be used for geologic imaging.
