Stanford researchers have constructed a microbial cell factory by genetically modifying the bacterium Methylomicrobium alcaliphilum 20Z to convert methanol and methane into para-hydroxybenzoic acid (p-HBA).
Stanford researchers have shown how to use fluorescent and phosphorescent materials to provide plants with photons in the photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) range for increased crop yields and CO2 fixation.
Stanford researchers have discovered that ribonucleoside vanadyl complexes can be used as an additive in transcription reactions resulting in ~2-fold increased yield.
Researchers in Prof. Thomas Jaramillo's laboratory have developed an electrochemical method for local production of ammonia that simultaneously solves an environmental problem while also producing a valuable chemical product with a massive global market.
Researchers in Prof. Elizabeth Sattely's laboratory have developed a high-yield, scalable plant-based protein expression system to produce lignin-degrading enzymes for converting waste lignin into useful carbon-based platform chemicals.
Current injectable hydrogel materials have fast erosion and limited tunability of their mechanical properties at different stages of applications, limiting their biomedical applications.
Stanford researchers at the Swartz Research Group have engineered an Iron-Iron (Fe-Fe) hydrogenase with as high as 5-fold enhancement in O2 tolerance by introducing cysteine mutations around the electron supply pathway within the enzyme.
Stanford researchers have invented a fully water-soluble, orange hydrazine sensor that can robustly quantify the toxin hydrazine in liquids such as drinking water, waste water (treated and untreated), and bodily fluids.
Stanford chemists have developed a scalable synthetic process to create a new class of viscous, stable phospholipid bilayer vesicles with tunable properties.
Enzymatically active hydrogenase is synthesized in a cell-free reaction. The hydrogenases are synthesized in a cell-free reaction comprising a cell extract derived from microbial strains expressing at least one hydrogenase accessory protein.
Stanford researchers at the Jaramillo, Nørskov, and Cargnello Labs have developed an improved system to generate NH3 (ammonia) from N2 and H2O via a low-pressure, electro-thermochemical, sustainable alternative to the conventional Haber-Bosch p
Stanford researchers developed a method to increase microbial fermentation gas transfer – a limiting factor in the production of bio products such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs).
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.
