Stanford researchers have developed a wearable, flexible, high sensitivity pressure sensor that provides information about cardiovascular health, emotional state, and other aspects of human physiology.
Although organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) made from organic semiconductors are valued for their transparency, flexibility and low cost attributes, their sluggish response time due to slow carrier mobility limits their applications.
Stanford researchers successfully purified highly enriched semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) free of any dispersing agent via an easy, fast and scalable method.
Stanford researchers have developed a simple and effective method to sort semiconducting from metallic single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT). This scalable technique uses semiconducting polymers to wrap around individual semiconducting SWNTs dispersed in a solution.
Stanford researchers have developed an elastomer polymer dielectric for high performance transistors with both high gain and high transconductance, which also shows unprecedented high bias-stress stability in air and water.
Stanford researchers have developed a versatile molecular engineering approach, via random copolymerization, to gain good processability while maintaining high charge transport and photovoltaic performance for conjugated copolymers.
Stanford researchers have developed and tested a new method of stably and strongly doping CNTs and graphene using MoOx as a nontoxic, inexpensive, vacuum or solution deposited alternative to strong liquid acids.
Researchers in Prof. James Plummer's laboratory have developed a patented silicon-compatible negative differential resistance (NDR) device with high peak to valley current ratios (PVCR's).
Stanford researchers are using nanowires (NWs) to raise the performance of organic solar cells. Organic solar cells' main weakness is their lack of efficiency compared to in-organic solar cells.
Researchers in Prof. Zhenan Bao's lab at Stanford have developed a series of imidazole derivatives for solution processed, n-type doped organic electronic devices.
Researchers in Hongjie Dai's lab have developed a low-cost method for making large scale, pristine, and functionalized graphene sheets for electronic and biological applications. The method produces single-layer graphene sheets that are stably suspended in organic solvents.
Researchers in Professor Zhenan Bao's group at Stanford University have created a thin-film pressure sensor device structure so sensitive it can detect the slightest touch.
