Researchers at Stanford have developed a dual modality imaging probe to provide improved atherosclerosis detection and evaluation. Atherosclerosis is a disease in which plaque builds up inside arteries.
Drs. Purvesh Khatri and Timothy Sweeney at Stanford have identified a set of three genes that can be used to diagnose active tuberculosis (TB) and distinguish active TB from latent TB or other diseases. TB is a worldwide public health problem.
Stanford researchers have developed a depletion-mode MOSFET-based phototransistor with sub-wavelength dimensions, extremely high responsivity and a low dark current.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a ferumoxytol-based dual-modality imaging probe that allows for long-term stem cell tracking through MRI and early diagnosis of cell apoptosis through simultaneous fluorescence imaging.
Researchers at Stanford University have developed a system for improved scatter correction in CT scans by simultaneously collecting image projection data and scatter data in a single scan.
Stanford researchers have developed a novel method for wafer-scale production of aligned and ultra-high density carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and nanotube grid.
This patented technology is an Integrated Capacitance Bridge (ICB) that can perform ultra-high-resolution (aF), wide-temperature-range measurements of capacitance in nano-structures.
Researchers in Prof. Hongjie Dai's laboratory have combined graphene with metals and other inorganic elements to create a variety of hybrid materials that can be used for high performance electrocatalytic or electrochemical devices such as batteries and fuel cells.
Richard Zare's lab at Stanford University has developed a ground-breaking drug release system in which injected medication can be controlled externally with excellent spatial, temporal, and dosage control.
Stanford researchers have discovered a novel scheme of treatment planning and delivery of radiation therapy, termed station parameter optimized radiation therapy, or SPORT.
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.
Researchers in Prof. Hongjie Dai's laboratory have developed nanocarbon/inorganic nanoparticle hybrid materials for various electrocatalytic and electrochemical applications, such as batteries and fuel cells. Three types of hybrid materials have been created:
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 Stanford researcher leverages common wafer manufacturing processes to optimize the performance of photonic bandgap (PBG) crystals for a variety of applications.
Stanford researchers have developed a liquid microjet which provides the first nanoflow capability for serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) with x-ray lasers.
