Stanford researchers have developed a lanthanide-doped upconverting nanoparticle (UCNP) that emits very photostable and non-blinking light, and is bright enough to delineate tumor boundaries to the naked eye during surgery.
Stanford researchers have patented a silicon germanium (SiGe) electroabsorption modulator that can operate well in excess of 10 Gbps and is entirely compatible with Silicon (Si) complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) integrated circuit fabrication.
Researchers in Prof. Shanhui Fan's laboratory have invented a thermal extraction device that is designed to enhance power emission from thermal radiators up to 10x compared to conventional structures.
Stanford researchers have developed two related inventions which advance the state-of-the-art of CMUT's (capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers).
Stanford researchers have patented a fabrication process for monolithic integration of different epitaxial materials on the same substrate for improved coupling of optoelectronic devices.
Stanford inventors have developed a deep learning framework that is able to label individual points from 3D Point Clouds that are acquired by various sensors (RGBD sensors, LIDAR sensors, etc.). This framework obtains a point-level fine-grained labeling of 3D Scenes.
Researchers in the Collaborative Haptics and Robotics in Medicine Lab at Stanford University have patented a haptic device that simulates a stroking sensation.
A team of Stanford engineers has developed an efficient battery that can convert salinity gradient power (a.k.a. “blue energy”) into electricity using low-cost, non-toxic electrode materials.
Engineers in Prof. Fritz Prinz's laboratory have developed a low cost, scalable method to fabricate anti-reflective, highly conductive metal silicide nanowires electrodes for photovoltaic cells.
Stanford researchers at the Dahl Lab have developed a method to reduce artifacts in ultrasound image reconstruction using a trained convolutional neural network (CNN).
Engineers in Prof. Yi Cui's laboratory have developed a stretchable, stable, high energy density anode to be used in lithium ion batteries that power stretchable electronic devices (e.g., wearable electronics, bendable phones or flexible displays).
