Stanford researchers have developed a non-invasive seismic sensing method to monitor groundwater and subsurface pressure changes at multiple depths using passive ground vibration data.
Researchers at Stanford have developed Elastic Rod Origami (RodOri), a new class of mechanical structures that can be physically reconfigured into many different shapes, each with distinct and precisely controlled mechanical properties.
Stanford researchers have developed PODO, a degradable, bio-based polyester that could serve as a more sustainable alternative to conventional single-use plastics.
Stanford researchers have developed an Electrodialysis and Nitrate Reduction Process (EDNR) that produces high-purity ammonia from agricultural runoff.
Stanford researchers developed an electrochemical reactor process that combines electrodialysis and membrane stripping, reduces the chemical inputs needed and expands recovered product portfolio to alkaline ammonia (for cleaning products) in ratios customized to a user's speci
Stanford researchers have developed an "electrocatalyst-in-a-box" that extracts wastewater nitrate and converts it into ammonia. Nitrogen pollution threatens water security and human health, and demand for ammonia continues to grow.
Stanford researchers have developed a new method for producing high-quality lead-germanium-selenide (PbGeSe) thin films with improved optical performance and uniformity.
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 scientists have developed a platform that combines Raman spectroscopy, nanomaterials, and machine learning to rapidly identify bacteria in wastewater without chemical labels.
Stanford scientists have developed a method that utilizes specialized microbes to capture and convert dilute atmospheric carbon dioxide into reduced organic compounds.
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.
Stanford researchers in the Kanan Lab have developed a scalable method for achieving verifiable, safe, and permanent carbon removal at relatively low energy demand.
