Engineers in Prof. Shanhui Fan's laboratory have developed an efficient, scalable, in-situ method to train, configure and tune complex photonic circuits for artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Stanford researchers have designed and successfully tested two prototype dynamic surface grasping devices. These devices use opposed pairs of gecko-inspired directional adhesives to attach to any smooth surface.
With energy costs rising and environmental problems worsening, there's a growing need for efficient, scalable, alternative energy. A team of researchers at Stanford University led by Prof.
Stanford researchers at the Vuckovic Lab have created a computational nanophotonic design library for gradient-based optimization called the Stanford Photonic INverse design Software (Spins).
A Stanford researcher has developed two advanced approaches for the positron sensitive high-energy photon sensor technology for Positron Emission Tomography (PET).
Current techniques for reconstructing images in positron emission tomography (PET) cannot correctly use events in which at least one photon of a pair has scattered in tissue (also known as scatter coincidence events).
Stanford Researchers have developed a method for a high-resolution photon imaging device with high fill factor (the ratio of the area of the active imaging elements vs. the dead area occupied by non-imaging elements).
Stanford researchers have prototyped a system to enhance the sensitivity of triple coincidences for multi-isotope PET by adding an extra detector dedicated for the detection of the third prompt gamma in coincidence with the annihilation photons.
A team of Stanford engineers have developed a patented integrated circuit to amplify and digitize pulse signals from silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) and avalanche photodiode (APD) -based semiconductor photodetectors for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) applications while prov
Stanford researchers have developed a statistical method to map tissue activity distribution and photon attenuation, correcting for attenuation in real time without a transmission scan, using Positron Emission Tomography.
Stanford researchers have patented a novel concept for a position sensitive high-energy photon sensor device for high resolution radiation imaging that can enhance capabilities of Positron Emission Tomography (PET).
Mammography is the current first-line imaging technique for early breast cancer detection, however, its diagnostic accuracy is limited in women with dense breast tissue. Ultrasound is often performed as a second line test in women with dense breast tissue.
Researchers at Stanford and their colleagues have developed easily expressed Wnt agonist and antagonists. Wnts are central mediators of development as they influence cell proliferation, differentiation and migration.
Stanford researchers have developed an improved method of distinguishing live and dead cells using mass cytometry, a next-generation form of flow cytometry.
