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.
Stanford virologists have developed a quantitative and sensitive assay to detect chikungunya virus (CHIKV). In addition, it may be multiplexed with assays for other pathogens to detect and differentiate CHIKV infection.
Stanford researchers have developed a novel tomographic technique, cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopic tomography, to probe optical properties in 3D with nanometer-scale spatial and spectral resolution.
ChiRP (“Chromatin Isolation through RNA Purification”) is a patented RNA “interactomics” technique developed in Prof. Howard Chang's laboratory to capture and identify DNA, RNA or protein molecules that interact with any RNA of interest in a cell.
Stanford University and Samsung researchers have patented a microfluidic-based platform that can rapidly fabricate and characterize Organic Thin Film Transistor (OTFT) arrays composed of solution-processable organic semiconducting polymers.
Researchers in Prof. Mark Kay's laboratory have continued to develop novel recombinant adeno-associated viral (AAV) capsids via capsid gene shuffling that transduce human hepatocytes at high efficiency in vivo.
Patient motion during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a significant source of image degradation and artifacts. This invention addresses this limitation in MRI.
Stanford researchers in the CamLab have patented a robust, task-space closed-loop controller for continuum manipulators that can be used in constrained environments and does not rely on a model.
Stanford inventors have developed a method that allows for simultaneous 3D imaging with high resolution by using a multifunctional metalens to replace the conventionally used microlens array in light-field imaging.
The performance of most digital systems today is limited more by their communication or interconnection rather than their logic or memory. To increase the entire system's efficacy, the focus is on improving the system's interconnection network.
Stanford researchers at the Sattely Lab have discovered six podophyllotoxin biosynthetic genes and their polypeptide products from the plant, Podophyllum hexandrum (mayapple).
The standard treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV) is poorly tolerated and ineffective in a large subset of HCV patients. Scientists at Stanford and UCSF have developed new therapeutic leads for HCV that also have potential to be broad-spectrum anti-infectives.
Researchers in Prof. Michael Genesereth's laboratory have developed "count indexes", a unique indexing scheme to efficiently update run-length encoded columns in column stores.
Stanford researchers have patented an image sensor that overcomes frame rate and power consumption limits for high-speed mega-pixel imaging, and therefore can extend battery life for mobile phone cameras.
