Stanford researchers in the Criddle lab have developed a novel anaerobic membrane bioreactor that enables high flux treatment of wastewater with greatly reduced energy costs.
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.
Stanford researchers have developed a portable sensor device for rapid detection of heavy metal ions using a sulfidation process and concentrator for increased visual detection.
Stanford researchers at the Khatib Lab in collaboration with King Abdullah University of Science and Technology's Red Sea Research Center and Meka Robotics, have created Ocean One, a bi-manual force-controlled humanoid robot that enables immediate and intuitive haptic i
The Mauter group has developed a method for removing selenium ions from wastewater using direct electrochemical reduction (DER). Selenium species are released into aquatic environments through anthropogenic activities such as mining, agriculture, and power generation.
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.
Stanford researchers have developed a streamlined method for simultaneously estimating a broad range of hydrocarbon fuel physical and chemical properties for a wide range of fuels.
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.
A team of Stanford engineers has developed an efficient battery that can convert salinity gradient power (a.k.a. “blue energy”) into electricity using low-cost, non-toxic electrode materials.
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.
Engineers in Prof. Anthony Kovscek's laboratory have developed a patented, dual-function core holder apparatus that can be used in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) experiments to both saturate the core and perform spontaneous imbibition analysis.
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
