During post-silicon validation and debug, manufactured integrated circuits (ICs) are tested in actual system environments to detect and fix design flaws (bugs). Existing techniques are costly due to ad hoc, manual methods.
Stanford researchers in The Tang Group have developed a reproducible, high throughput device that dices tissue into uniformly sized sub-millimeter sample fragments.
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells targeting CD19 (or CAR19 T-cells) are an emerging, active therapy for patients with lymphomas. Despite high response rates to therapy, most patients will ultimately have disease progression after CAR19 T-cell therapy.
Stanford inventors have discovered that applying a hydrogel containing an inhibitor of mechanotransduction pathways on top of a skin graft reduces scarring and promotes healing after repair of traumatic injuries like severe burn wounds.
Stanford engineers have prototyped and tested a flexible, soft growing robot that can deploy sensor networks for investigation in constrained spaces (see video below). Existing sensors for growing robots have focused on moving with the tip of the robot.
A common hurdle for many drug delivery applications is getting the desired compounds to the targeted cells or receptors. Additional barriers of achieving the therapeutic drug concentration and necessary drug diffusion are also present even after successful targeted delivery.
Image sensors are used across the board in high-resolution image sensing technologies, and critically rely on their ability to separate colors of light.
Researchers at Stanford have developed an approach to dramatically improve the efficiency of microwave-to-optical quantum transduction – a significant step towards realizing efficient communication between distant superconducting quantum systems.
Stanford scientists have invented a method that can determine the gestational age of a fetus by testing the mother's urine using metabolomics profiling and machine learning.
Stanford researchers at the Cutkosky Lab have developed a fast process for directly machining into metal to create wedge-shaped geometries. The machined mold is then used to cast gecko-inspired adhesives multiple times without damaging the mold.
Researchers at the Stanford Robotics Lab have developed new methods for modeling multi-contact collisions and steady physical interactions between multiple rigid bodies.
