Stanford engineers have developed an optical modulator to enable low-cost and high spatial-resolution time-of-flight imaging and LiDAR with low-cost standard image sensors.
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 Stanford have developed a highly efficient (>90%) holographic beam steering method for obtaining distance information of objects nearby, with applications from autonomous vehicles to home appliances.
A team of Stanford computer scientists have developed software that can serve as a key enabling technology for location-aware services indoors. Location-aware services are an important emerging technology for mobile devices.
Optimizing battery performance currently relies on empirical testing using arbitrary parameters, under-validated physiochemical models, and limited data analysis of summary trends.
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 time efficient and safer algorithm for autonomous cars that combines game theory and risk awareness. This algorithm computes approximate feedback Nash equilibria where all agents are risk aware, a novel approach.
Stanford researchers at the Camarillo Lab have developed a neural-network based model that can provide real-time calculation of brain strain based on instrumented mouthguard kinematics signals.
The Murmann lab has developed a method for an extraction information from acoustic signals that utilizes low power consumption. N-path filters are used to decompose the original acoustic signals' waveform before downconverting to lower their Nyquist-rate bandwidth.
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.
Researchers in the Fan group have developed a method for epitaxial growth of double heterojunction semiconductor diodes capable of suppressing parasitic non-radiative recombination effects.
