Stanford researchers at the Poon Lab have developed a method for battery-less, short range transmission of data with very low power and very high data rates. It can potentially replace current near field communications (NFC) systems due to these advantages.
Stanford researchers in the Vuckovic group have developed an optical phased array (OPA) for solid-state beam-steering in optical systems such as LIDAR, projectors, and microscopy.
Researchers at Stanford have developed technology to bring new dimensions to wearable haptic devices and better reflect the breadth of haptic interactions in our lives.
Researchers at Stanford have developed an ultracompact, high-quality-factor (high-Q) metasurface that enables more convenient phase contrast imaging. Phase contrast imaging is a critical technique in biology and medicine to image essentially transparent objects such as cells.
Researchers in Roger Kornberg's lab have developed a deep convolutional neural network algorithm that predicts the location and strength of transcription factor activation domains (ADs) in eukaryotes.
Researchers in Stanford's Yi Cui Lab have developed an ultra-light, fire-retardant battery current collector. Commercial Cu-Al current collectors account for 15-50 wt.% of the total battery weight – dead weight that dramatically limits battery density.
This invention facilitates the realization of optical elements with spatially multiplexed/interleaved phase profiles to achieve a high packing density of distinct optical elements on a surface.
Stanford researchers have developed a portable sensor device for rapid detection of heavy metal ions using a sulfidation process and concentrator for increased visual detection.
Stanford researchers in The Fan Group have developed an optical device that can fine tune the color of each photon in a stream of light. Existing methods simply reroute photons of a particular frequency, but do not actually change the photons frequencies.
Stanford researchers have developed a high efficiency OLED device by nanopatterning the electrode layer to create a high impedance metasurface (HIM) that reduces 'plasmonic' losses. A typical metal cathode traps a large portion of generated light in an OLED.
Stanford researchers have developed a method of designing materials for air-stable and high-brightness photocathodes. Challenges with current photocathode materials' lie with in brightness and extreme air sensitivity.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a simpler and low-cost micro-cavity design for color tuning of organic light emitting devices (OLEDs) for display applications. A micro-cavity is an essential part of OLED display for high color purity.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a dielectric diffraction grating that provides high (near-unity) diffraction efficiencies in an ultra-compact volume.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a multi-wavelength laser with perpendicular polarization, which supports easy and independent measurement in various optical sensors for improved accuracy and speed.
