Stanford researchers have patented a crystalline germanium nanostructure device and method of forming a continuous polycrystalline Ge film (5-500nm thick poly-Ge) with crystalline Ge islands of preferred orientation.
Although organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) made from organic semiconductors are valued for their transparency, flexibility and low cost attributes, their sluggish response time due to slow carrier mobility limits their applications.
A team of Stanford and MIT researchers developed a perovskite/silicon multijunction solar cell designed to surpass the photovoltaic efficiency limits of silicon while utilizing existing manufacturing capabilities.
The Nanophotonic Light-Field (NLF) sensor enables a new generation of light field cameras capable of high sensitivity, high pixel density and faster shutter speeds.
A team of Stanford engineers have developed a low-cost, solution-processed method to fabricate a flexible nanowire mesh that can be used in transparent electrodes, as a replacement for metal oxides (such as ITO, indium tin oxide).
