Stanford researchers have developed a scalable method for producing precisely engineered 3D-printed lattice structures for inertial confinement fusion targets. Current fusion target materials often use porous foams to hold and distribute fusion fuel.
Stanford scientists have established a modeling based proof-of-concept for a subsurface logging method that reliably distinguishes hydrogen from methane using thermal conductivity, overcoming a major limitation of existing oil-and-gas logging technologies.
Stanford researchers have developed a software platform featuring an integrated digital twin framework to enable 24/7, carbon-free operations of electric vehicle (EV) fleets.
Stanford researchers in the WE3 and S3 Labs developed software for biogas modeling suitable for real-time, co-digestion forecasting control for waste streams with widely varying biodegradability rates.
Stanford researchers have developed flat, ultrathin (sub 100nm) optical elements based on high index nanostructures which can be alternatives to refractive optical elements such as gratings, lenses, and axicons.
Hydrogen that is free of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is a key vector to fuel a net-zero emissions economy, but today's H2 is sourced from fossil fuels mostly by the highly emissions-intensive processes of steam methane reforming (SMR) or coal gasification.
Stanford researchers have designed a new type of reactor that uses magnetic induction instead of fossil fuel combustion to enable even distribution of high-grade heat for thermochemical processing.
Researchers in the Stanford School of Sustainability have patented a sustainable, cost-effective, scalable subsurface energy storage system with the potential to revolutionize solar thermal energy storage by making solar energy available 24/7 for a wide range of industrial app
Industry, government, and private investment in CO2 capture is growing to address climate change. Without carbon utilization, however, high costs impede large scale capture efforts.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a technique that can rapidly and sequentially separate multiple sets of III-V solar cell thin films grown as a stack on one III-V wafer.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a next-generation technique of fabricating metal oxide thin films using open-air ultrasonic spray combustion and plasma curing.
Stanford inventors have developed a method for manufacturing perovskite solar modules at lower cost and greater device stability by utilizing a novel transparent conducting oxide (TCO) lift-off scribing method.
Stanford researchers led by Dr. Arun Majumdar have developed photocatalysts combining transport- and reaction-selective nanostructures for direct methanol production.
