Researchers in Prof. Mark Schnitzer's laboratory have developed a two-photon scanning microscope for imaging neural activity in a 2x2mm field of view while maintaining a fast scanning rate (~10Hz image update frequency).
Stanford researchers at the Swartz Research Group have engineered an Iron-Iron (Fe-Fe) hydrogenase with as high as 5-fold enhancement in O2 tolerance by introducing cysteine mutations around the electron supply pathway within the enzyme.
Stanford researchers successfully manufactured high quality optical components using commercially available 3D printing. The 3D printed optics were easy to fabricate and inexpensive.
Stanford researchers have developed a lanthanide-doped upconverting nanoparticle (UCNP) that emits very photostable and non-blinking light, and is bright enough to delineate tumor boundaries to the naked eye during surgery.
Researchers in Prof. W.E. Moerner's laboratory have developed a compact point spread function (PSF) that enables optical imaging in three dimensions with nanoscale precision using a limited number of photons.
Stanford researchers have designed a tunable wedge-based phase mask for 3D super-resolution imaging that can simultaneously determine both the position and rotational mobility of individual light-emitting molecules from a single camera image.
Summary: Stanford researchers at the Melosh Lab have proposed a non-invasive, high electrode density, high resolution (100 micrometers to 10 nanometers) neural device implantation for electrical stimulation of neural/biological tissues.
Stanford researchers patented a method to design, computationally optimize and fabricate efficient optical devices using semiconducting and dielectric nanostructures.
This invention, the “Charge Cloud Tracker” is a fast, low-cost, strip geometry x-ray detector that is predicted to provide limiting resolution on the order of 5 microns, with very high x-ray detection efficiency.
Researchers in Prof. Karl Deisseroth's laboratory have developed a highly precise, scalable optical system for imaging or controlling thousands of individual neurons in the 3D volume accessible with a single multiphoton fluorescent microscope objective.
Stanford researchers have designed a method to increase the photoyield of thin film CsBr/metal photocathodes by activation with electron bombardment, allowing efficient operation at UV and longer incident light wavelengths.
Stanford researchers have invented a fully water-soluble, orange hydrazine sensor that can robustly quantify the toxin hydrazine in liquids such as drinking water, waste water (treated and untreated), and bodily fluids.
Stanford researchers have demonstrated a new passive cavitation mapping algorithm based on sound localization of multiple scatters of cavitation. It shows improved resolution as compared to existing passive cavitation mapping algorithms based on a basic beamforming.
Stanford researchers at the Bao Lab have designed and fabricated a highly stretchable, tough, and self-healable material with high fatigue resistance applicable for electronic (e-) skin devices.
