Researchers at Stanford University have developed a novel 3D printing method, enabling multiple printheads to collaboratively pattern materials from multiple directions, an 'inwards-out' approach that overcomes previous limitations.
Researchers at Stanford have reported the first high energy density shape memory polymer based on the formation of strain-induced supramolecular nanostructures, which immobilize stretched chains to store entropic energy.
Scientists in the Zhenan Bao Research Group at Stanford developed a process for direct photo-patterning of electronic polymers that improves device density of elastic circuits over 100x.
The Zhenan Bao Research Group at Stanford University has designed an intrinsically stretchable polymeric matrix that allows seamless integration with physically crosslinked PEDOT:PSS, while stabilizing its high stretchability, and high conductivity after all necessary fabricat
Stephen Tsai and researchers at Stanford University's Structures and Composite Laboratory have designed a composite grid-stiffened skin structure, which is ultra-lightweight, stiff, strong, and easier and less expensive to manufacture.
Stanford researchers have developed a simple optical device for low-power, active light tuning. The device tunes the color of light across the visible spectrum and at select wavelengths by electrical biasing an array of micron sized pixels or nanowires.
Stanford researchers have created an integrated cooling textile (called i-Cool) with an unique functional design for personal perspiration management (PPM).
Stanford researchers have demonstrated a self healing electrode that can dramatically enhance the cycle lifetime of lithium ion batteries by applying Si microparticles with a thin layer of self-healing conductive composite.
Stanford researchers have developed a high-performance, ultrafast, thermoresponsive polymer that can act as a circuit breaker to prevent fires in next-generation high-energy-density batteries by rapidly and reversibly turning off when overheated.
Researchers at Stanford University and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have developed a new coating design which makes lithium metal batteries stable and promising for further development.
Stanford researchers have created the first large-scale dataset of aerial videos from multiple classes of targets interacting in complex outdoor spaces.
Engineers in Prof. Zhenan Bao's laboratory have developed a fully elastic, highly stretchable fluorinated polymer that can be used as a photoresist with standard lithography techniques for precise patterning of flexible electronic devices.
