With energy costs rising and environmental problems worsening, there's a growing need for efficient, scalable, alternative energy. A team of researchers at Stanford University led by Prof.
Stanford researchers at the Vuckovic Lab have created a computational nanophotonic design library for gradient-based optimization called the Stanford Photonic INverse design Software (Spins).
Stanford Researchers have developed a method for a high-resolution photon imaging device with high fill factor (the ratio of the area of the active imaging elements vs. the dead area occupied by non-imaging elements).
Stanford researchers have prototyped a system to enhance the sensitivity of triple coincidences for multi-isotope PET by adding an extra detector dedicated for the detection of the third prompt gamma in coincidence with the annihilation photons.
A team of Stanford engineers have developed a patented integrated circuit to amplify and digitize pulse signals from silicon photomultiplier (SiPM) and avalanche photodiode (APD) -based semiconductor photodetectors for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) applications while prov
Stanford researchers have patented a novel concept for a position sensitive high-energy photon sensor device for high resolution radiation imaging that can enhance capabilities of Positron Emission Tomography (PET).
A Stanford researcher has developed two advanced approaches for the positron sensitive high-energy photon sensor technology for Positron Emission Tomography (PET).
Current techniques for reconstructing images in positron emission tomography (PET) cannot correctly use events in which at least one photon of a pair has scattered in tissue (also known as scatter coincidence events).
Stanford researchers have developed a statistical method to map tissue activity distribution and photon attenuation, correcting for attenuation in real time without a transmission scan, using Positron Emission Tomography.
Running chemotherapeutic drug screens on tumor biopsies ex vivo has the potential to increase patient survival by personally matching them to the drug which is the most effective against their particular tumor.
Researchers in Prof. Mark Schnitzer's laboratory have developed a two-photon scanning microscope for imaging neural activity in a 2x2mm field of view while maintaining a fast scanning rate (~10Hz image update frequency).
Researchers in the Khuri-Yakub laboratory have developed patented two dimensional (2D) capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) arrays and methods for fabricating them with direct wafer bonding.
Stanford researchers at the Swartz Research Group have engineered an Iron-Iron (Fe-Fe) hydrogenase with as high as 5-fold enhancement in O2 tolerance by introducing cysteine mutations around the electron supply pathway within the enzyme.
Stanford researchers successfully manufactured high quality optical components using commercially available 3D printing. The 3D printed optics were easy to fabricate and inexpensive.
