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.
An interdisciplinary team of Stanford University researchers have developed a novel interpenetrating polymer network hydrogel that is useful for a wide variety of medical, industrial and personal hygiene applications.
W.E. Moerner and Adam Cohen have patented the Anti-Brownian ELectrokinetic trap (ABEL trap) which can trap, measure, and manipulate sub-micron objects (e.g. single molecules) in solution at ambient temperature.
Researchers in Prof. Zhenan Bao's laboratory have developed a high-performance, self-healing dielectric elastomer that could be used in stretchable electronics or robotic applications.
Stanford researchers have developed a new algorithm for reinforcement learning, which can learn to take good actions with potentially long term consequences in a general unknown complex system.
Stanford researchers developed a strong, flexible, high heat transfer architecture for electronics packaging interfacial material. The resins currently used in electronics packaging are a thermal management bottleneck.
A team of Stanford engineers have developed a fast adaptive optics system for scanning, 3D imaging and sensing with a small (50 µm) multimode fiber (MMF).
Researchers in Prof. James Swartz' laboratory have developed a rapid bioluminescence method for detecting and enumerating circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and other rare cells. This invention utilizes novel nanoparticle reagents which can specifically bind to cells of interest.
