An interdisciplinary team of Stanford researchers is developing a dual axis confocal (“DAC”) microscope system for in vivo imaging of tissues at the cellular scale.
Stanford researchers have developed a non-invasive method of assessing chromosomal composition in human embryos at the blastocyst stage, thus potentially improving chances of success following in vitro fertilization (IVF).
Researchers at Stanford have developed the paperfuge- an ultra-low cost (20 cents), light weight (2g) field portable centrifuge (125,000 rpm; 30,000 g RCF) made out of paper that runs on human power.
Stanford researchers at the Cutkosky Lab have patented a method of towing or pushing an object using a micro-robot. This micro-robot can drag loads almost 2000x its weight by using controllable dry adhesive for robotic "feet" that can develop huge amounts of shear force.
Stanford researchers have developed a portable particle accelerator – the SLAC Piezoelectric Accelerator Neutron Source (SPAN). When combined with an ion source and a deuterated target, this piezoelectric, high-voltage generator makes a compact neutron generator system.
Engineers in Prof. James Harris' laboratory have developed a compact optics and microfluidics device to continuously monitor the hemostatic state of patients undergoing heart surgery, dialysis or other procedures.
Engineers in Prof. Shan Wang's laboratory have developed a patented magnetic sifter device for high throughput cell sorting. This technology employs magnetic nanobead probes to tag cells of interest from raw samples.
Stanford researchers have designed a method to perform an off-resonance corrected MRI reconstruction by modeling the off-resonance terms as part of the image encoding process.
MR-guidance for biopsy procedures features high intrinsic soft-tissue contrast. However, artifacts induced by the metallic needle such as signal void and distortions can reduce the localization of the needle and thus prevent the targeting of smaller lesions.
Stanford researchers at the Cutkosky Lab have patented a low cost, passively activated gripper that can grasp large curved, textured or delicate objects using an adhesive film.
Stanford researchers have disclosed a new family of white light emitting perovskites with photoluminescence quantum efficiencies (PLQEs) of up to 9%, which show stable emission over at least three months of continuous irradiation.
Stanford researchers at the Airan Lab have developed a new method for robust and spatiotemporally precise non-invasive neuromodulation that could transform both basic and clinical neuroscience.
This light-weight, hand-held, mechanical microfluidic device is designed to perform complex protocols in low resource settings without a power source or external control element. Developed by researchers in Prof.
