Stanford researchers have developed a compact, low-cost complete sensor solution (sensor plus reader) which can interpret fully-passive sensors through a simple handheld external reader. The readout mechanism can take measurements independent of the readout distance (i.e.
Stanford engineers at Zhenan Bao's laboratory have designed a compliance sensor which can identify softness (compliance) of touched objects and provide human-like sensation to robots and prosthetics.
Stanford researchers have developed a damage free method for activating buried p-type or Mg-doped epitaxial layers in III-nitride devices that improves performance and can reduce device cost when used as edge termination.
Stanford researchers have designed a high-voltage cascode GaN/SiC device combining the advantages of both a GaN and an SiC device (i.e. reduced gate loss/simple gate drive requirements)
This bandage-like multi-lead, continuous ECG monitoring device uses new stretchable electrode material developed in the Bao group to accurately and imperceptibly diagnose cardiac arrhythmia.
Researchers in Prof. Yi Cui's laboratory have used a novel electrospinning process to fabricate a unique, transparent, highly conductive metal nanofiber material that could be used to replace indium tin oxide (ITO) in transparent electrodes.
Engineers in Prof. Zhenan Bao's laboratory have developed a fully elastic, highly stretchable fluorinated polymer that can be used as a photoresist with standard lithography techniques for precise patterning of flexible electronic devices.
Stanford researchers have developed a novel, non-tracking and low cost solar concentrator - Axially Graded Index LEns: AGILE - that has potential to change the economy of the solar cell industry.
Stanford researchers have invented a C-Aperture Nano-Tip which provides a new way to further enhance the optical resolution down to smaller than 15 nm.
Researchers in Professor Zhenan Bao's group at Stanford University have developed a biomimetic soft electronic skin (e-skin) with multiple levels of biologically inspired patterning that can detect the direction of applied forces.
Stanford researchers have recently patented a hybrid LED-LCD screen suitable for applications ranging from large televisions to small mobile displays and capable of significantly reducing power consumption to as little as 1/20th that of conventional design
Stanford researchers at the Fan Lab have proposed a comprehensive approach for controlling the heating and cooling of outdoor coatings, such as paint on automobiles or buildings, without affecting its exterior color.
Engineers at the Zhenan Bao Lab have developed an elastic Li-ion conductor with dual covalent and dynamic hydrogen bonding crosslinks providing high mechanical resilience without sacrificing the room temperature ionic conductivity.
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.
