Researchers in Prof. Mark Schnitzer's laboratory have developed a two-photon scanning microscope for imaging neural activity in a 2x2mm field of view while maintaining a fast scanning rate (~10Hz image update frequency).
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 developed two related inventions which advance the state-of-the-art of CMUT's (capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers).
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 Prof. Julia Salzman's laboratory have developed an efficient statistically driven tool to improve the accuracy of biomolecules in samples that have a wide range of concentrations.
Researchers in the Collaborative Haptics and Robotics in Medicine Lab at Stanford University have patented a haptic device that simulates a stroking sensation.
Researchers in Prof. Brian Feldman's laboratory have developed a patented drug screen to identify compounds that could potentially treat obesity and metabolic disease by converting cells to calorie-burning brown fat.
These light trapping solar cell structures increase optical absorption and carrier collection, improving efficiency by 24%, while significantly reducing the solar cell active layer thickness and thus lowering cost.
Researchers in Prof. Sylvia Plevritis' laboratory have developed an algorithm designed to optimize cancer combination therapy for individual patients by analyzing distinct single-cell responses from heterogeneous tumors.
