This patented technology is a magnetically actuated photonic crystal sensor system. It utilizes a photonic crystal (PC) coupled to magnetic material which is then mounted on an optical fiber.
Stanford researchers have invented a system for identifying head impacts and rejecting spurious motion events. The system has been implemented in an instrumented mouthguard which measures head kinematics on the sports field.
Precision in surgical removal of cancer is guided by pathological assessment of resected tissues, and there is a dire need to reduce the time and distance between the critical diagnostic events and the surgical procedure.
Researchers in Dr. Michael Lin's lab have developed a fluorescent voltage sensor for non-invasive optical monitoring of electrical events in living cells in vitro and in vivo.
Hydrogel-based tissue engineering scaffolds are widely used for culturing cells in three dimensions (3D) due to their tissue-like water content, tunable biochemical and physical properties, and ease of cell encapsulation and distribution in 3D.
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.
Stanford researchers have developed a versatile molecular engineering approach, via random copolymerization, to gain good processability while maintaining high charge transport and photovoltaic performance for conjugated copolymers.
This invention provides a novel strategy for depolymerizing polyesters and polycarbonates with alcohols through the use of nucleophilic N-heterocyclic carbenes as catalysts.
Stanford researchers have developed and tested a new method of stably and strongly doping CNTs and graphene using MoOx as a nontoxic, inexpensive, vacuum or solution deposited alternative to strong liquid acids.
Stanford researchers have discovered a way of regulating pressure-driven flow in fluidic passages by utilizing phase change materials to seal fluidic passages.
Stanford researchers have developed an electrically addressable liquid dispenser. This patented technology stores and dispenses scent in hand-held devices.
A team of Stanford engineers have developed a low-cost, easy to fabricate membrane electrode assembly (MEA) that is nano-patterned to increase electrode reaction surface area in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs).
This invention enables depth-of-interaction detection of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) without sacrificing other performance parameters or escalating the cost.
