Researchers in Prof. Michael McGehee's laboratory have developed a glass architecture that employs reversible metal electrodeposition for fast-switching smart windows with high contrast ratio and durable cycle life.
Researchers in Dr. Alfred Spormann's lab have developed a method of using co-cultures to enhance microbial electrosynthesis to allow more efficient production of desired products such as biofuel.
Enzymatically active hydrogenase is synthesized in a cell-free reaction. The hydrogenases are synthesized in a cell-free reaction comprising a cell extract derived from microbial strains expressing at least one hydrogenase accessory protein.
Engineers in Prof. Arunava Majumdar's laboratory have formulated high-entropy phase-change materials that can split water to produce hydrogen at moderate temperatures using a scalable, carbon-free process.
Stanford researchers at the Jaramillo, Nørskov, and Cargnello Labs have developed an improved system to generate NH3 (ammonia) from N2 and H2O via a low-pressure, electro-thermochemical, sustainable alternative to the conventional Haber-Bosch p
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.
Using bamboo inspired carbon nanofibers, Stanford researchers at the Yi Cui Lab have created a freestanding, flexible and elastic electrode for energy storage devices.
A new method for underground mapping and imaging allows the use of the underground reflections of electromagnetic pulses caused by lightning (occurring up to thousands of miles away) to be used for geologic imaging.
Rechargeable lithium sulfur batteries have attracted great interest in recent years because of their high theoretical specific energy, which is several times that of current lithium-ion batteries.
