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.
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 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.
