Engineers at the Khuri-Yakub Group have designed a non-surgical alternative for treating epilepsy using ultrasonic technology which can detect, localize, and suppress epileptic seizures in epileptic patients.
Ultrasound complements mammography as an imaging modality for breast cancer detection, especially in patients with dense breast tissue, but its utility is limited by low diagnostic accuracy.
Stanford researchers have developed an optical coating that steers infrared and visual light in different paths while suppressing the typical undesired rainbow effect.
Stanford inventors have developed a new approach to tackling the vergence-accommodation conflict, which is a common contributor to discomfort associated with virtual reality setups.
The invention provides a method of treating or preventing heart failure or a disease or condition associated with heart failure comprising administering an effective dose of an apelin peptide or APJ receptor ligand to the subject.
Current injectable hydrogel materials have fast erosion and limited tunability of their mechanical properties at different stages of applications, limiting their biomedical applications.
Researchers at Stanford have discovered a powerful new optogenetic actuator- a novel red-shifted opsin. Optogenetics is a technique used to study function and communication between cells.
Stanford researchers at the Cui Lab have adopted for the first time, a 3D porous lithium (Li) metal anode and flowable interphase to construct an all-solid-state Li metal battery.
Stanford researchers in the Biomimetics and Dexterous Manipulation Lab have patented a low cost, high performance multi-axis capacitive tactile sensor that measures all six components of force and torque.
Heart failure has a prognosis worse than most cancers and affects over five million people in the United States alone. Although some medications for heart failure exist, many patients develop side effects or do not respond favorably to existing medications.
Many human disease conditions, such as Rheumatoid Arthritis and Type 2 diabetes, are known to have components of regulatory dysfunction as part of the genetic and biomolecular basis of their pathogenesis.
Stanford researchers have created the first large-scale dataset of aerial videos from multiple classes of targets interacting in complex outdoor spaces.
Stanford researchers have developed a new grammar checking tool with an emphasis on improving translation. The technology is a browser integration and Google Docs plugin for querying and rendering edits provided by an endpoint that suggests edits to text.
Researchers at Stanford are developing methods of using arginine vasopressin (AVP) to improve social abilities of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by social impairments (e.g.
