Researchers in Dr. Richard Zare's lab have developed solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNPs) that provide sustained in vivo delivery of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs). siRNAs can silence genes responsible for disease, which makes them promising tools for gene therapy.
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 Stanford researcher leverages common wafer manufacturing processes to optimize the performance of photonic bandgap (PBG) crystals for a variety of applications.
Stanford researchers developed a 'self-healing' polymer coating that conforms to and stabilizes lithium metal battery electrodes. The polymer is an extremely stretchy, flexible and adaptive protective layer.
Researchers in Prof. Per Enge's laboratory have developed a simple, back-compatible, single antenna system to protect GPS flight navigation systems from jamming, interference and spoofers.
Using bamboo inspired carbon nanofibers, Stanford researchers at the Yi Cui Lab have created a freestanding, flexible and elastic electrode for energy storage devices.
Stanford researchers at the Khuri-Yakub Lab have developed a new sensor topology that will enable high-resolution touch sensing and reliable authentication on portable electronics.
Stanford researchers have patented the "Wolverine," a mobile, wearable haptic device designed for simulating the grasping of rigid objects in virtual reality.
Researchers in Stanford's Nanoscale Prototyping Laboratory have developed a low-temperature process for fabricating etch-resistant, pinhole-free spacer dielectrics a few nanometers thick.
Stanford researchers have patented a crystalline germanium nanostructure device and method of forming a continuous polycrystalline Ge film (5-500nm thick poly-Ge) with crystalline Ge islands of preferred orientation.
Stanford researchers have designed a powerful plasmonic coaxial aperture as a low-power optical trap for nanosized specimens, a regime that is inaccessible with the other designs.
