Stanford inventors have developed and fabricated biodegradable and biocompatible polysaccharide hydrogel optical fibers for fiber optic sensing and light transmission in biomedical applications like antigen detection, tracking cellular events, and optogenetics.
Researchers at Stanford have designed a new nanophotonic detector to reduce cost, size and power consumption compared to existing thermal infrared (IR) cameras.
Determining a patient's drug susceptibility is currently a lengthy process requiring hundred to millions of cells. Currently, these cells are labelled, frozen or otherwise manipulated in ways that prevent sequential testing against multiple drugs on the same few cells.
The Zhenan Bao Research Group at Stanford University developed and manufactured a photo-curable, directly patternable, stretchable, and highly conductive polymer that is ideal for bioelectronic applications, and stretchable electronic devices.
Scientists in the Zhenan Bao Research Group at Stanford developed a process for direct photo-patterning of electronic polymers that improves device density of elastic circuits over 100x.
The Zhenan Bao Research Group at Stanford University has designed an intrinsically stretchable polymeric matrix that allows seamless integration with physically crosslinked PEDOT:PSS, while stabilizing its high stretchability, and high conductivity after all necessary fabricat
Researchers at Stanford University have developed a rapid and sensitive bioluminescent assay for screening bacterial infections using enzyme-produced photo emission for detection of beta lactamase activity.
Multiplexed analysis of biological components is critical for classifying molecular subtypes of heterogeneous tumors to provide patient-specific therapies.
Researchers at Stanford have developed an approach to dramatically improve the efficiency of microwave-to-optical quantum transduction – a significant step towards realizing efficient communication between distant superconducting quantum systems.
Image sensors are used across the board in high-resolution image sensing technologies, and critically rely on their ability to separate colors of light.
Near-infrared (NIR) imaging is a valuable research tool that produces quality images with high spatial and temporal resolution through millimeter tissue depths.
Researchers at Stanford are developing a device that uses quantum engineered states and interactions to detect electromagnetic waves with a sensitivity and bandwidth beyond that possible with existing technology.
Stanford researchers in the Vuckovic group have developed an optical phased array (OPA) for solid-state beam-steering in optical systems such as LIDAR, projectors, and microscopy.
Researchers at Stanford have developed an ultracompact, high-quality-factor (high-Q) metasurface that enables more convenient phase contrast imaging. Phase contrast imaging is a critical technique in biology and medicine to image essentially transparent objects such as cells.
