Stanford researchers in Zhenan Bao and Yi Cui's labs have developed an organic redox mediator that could make Lithium Sulfur batteries charge faster with less energy.
Stanford researchers have developed a method which can simultaneously observe two positron emitting isotopes using two distinct molecular probes and a modified PET scanner. This system enables the simultaneous observation of two different molecular processes.
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.
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 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.
Stanford researchers have patented a fabrication process for monolithic integration of different epitaxial materials on the same substrate for improved coupling of optoelectronic devices.
Researchers in Profs. Jonathan Fan and Jim Plummer's laboratory have patented a generalized, CMOS-compatible process to fabricate single crystal metal components on amorphous insulator substrates.
Stanford engineers have developed and tested a nanostructured thin film material that upconverts infrared to visible light and combines electrical and non-linear optical properties in the same layer.
Stanford researchers have invented a fully water-soluble, orange hydrazine sensor that can robustly quantify the toxin hydrazine in liquids such as drinking water, waste water (treated and untreated), and bodily fluids.
Researchers in Prof. Mark Brongersma's laboratory have engineered a novel patterning scheme for semiconductor nanowires to increase their photon absorption in thin films for solar cells and photo-detectors.
Researchers in Prof. Michael McGehee's laboratory have developed a glass architecture that employs reversible metal electrodeposition for fast-switching smart windows with high contrast ratio and durable cycle life.
