Stanford engineers have developed and tested a nanostructured thin film material that upconverts infrared to visible light and combines electrical and non-linear optical properties in the same layer.
Engineers at Stanford University have developed a technique for producing piezoelectric graphene that could be used to create two-dimensional “straintronic” materials for powering or controling nanoscale devices.
Stanford researchers have discovered a novel method of doping nanowires (NW) and thin films (TF) that greatly improves surface area and performance. The sol-flame method is a fast, simple and low cost way to introduce dopants into NW and TF for a wide variety of applications.
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.
Stanford researchers have patented a new method for Compressed Sensing (CS) which reconstructs signals and images from significantly fewer measurements than current standards while maintaining high reconstruction accuracy.
Stanford researchers at the Cutkosky Lab have patented a method of towing or pushing an object using a micro-robot. This micro-robot can drag loads almost 2000x its weight by using controllable dry adhesive for robotic "feet" that can develop huge amounts of shear force.
Researchers in Prof. Hemamala Karunadasa's laboratory have developed inexpensive, robust, high capacity hybrid materials for reversible or irreversible capture of halogens (chlorine, bromine, and iodine gas).
Stanford researchers at the Cutkosky Lab have patented a low cost, passively activated gripper that can grasp large curved, textured or delicate objects using an adhesive film.
Stanford researchers at the Airan Lab have developed a new method for robust and spatiotemporally precise non-invasive neuromodulation that could transform both basic and clinical neuroscience.
Engineers from Stanford and the Australian National University have developed a robust micro electric propulsion system to maneuver miniature satellites (CubeSats) and thereby extend their lifetime.
This invention is an efficient and very small high frequency inductor developed by Stanford researchers and made on an active substrate, such as silicon.
Researchers in Prof. Mark Brongersma's laboratory have engineered a novel patterning scheme for semiconductor nanowires to increase their photon absorption in thin films for solar cells and photo-detectors.
