The Stanford team has developed a method to dynamically control the topography of nano-scale surfaces using soft, responsive polymers, enabling new ways to actively shape the spectral, angular and polarization properties of light in response to electrical and chemical stimuli
Active manipulation of light beams is required for a range of emerging optical technologies, including sensing, optical computing, virtual/augmented reality, dynamic holography, and computational imaging.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a non-destructive method for generating and patterning optical color centers with nanoscale resolution without the need for high energy radiation. Color centers, which are optically active defects within the lattice structur
Summary: Stanford researchers at the Melosh Lab have proposed a non-invasive, high electrode density, high resolution (100 micrometers to 10 nanometers) neural device implantation for electrical stimulation of neural/biological tissues.
Stanford engineers have developed an efficient photoelectrochemical cell (PEC) that uses a mixed ion electron conductor (MIEC) heterojunction to enable high temperature (hundreds of oC) conversion of concentrated sunlight to chemical fuel (such as hydrogen).
