Researchers in Prof. Hongjie Dai's laboratory have developed nanocarbon/inorganic nanoparticle hybrid materials for various electrocatalytic and electrochemical applications, such as batteries and fuel cells. Three types of hybrid materials have been created:
Using bamboo inspired carbon nanofibers, Stanford researchers at the Yi Cui Lab have created a freestanding, flexible and elastic electrode for energy storage devices.
Stanford researchers at the Khuri-Yakub Lab have developed a new sensor topology that will enable high-resolution touch sensing and reliable authentication on portable electronics.
Stanford researchers have patented a photosynthetic system using a cyanobacterium solution that can be delivered to ischemic tissues, where blood flow is insufficient. This addresses a major clinical problem for patients with heart and vascular diseases.
Stanford researchers have patented the "Wolverine," a mobile, wearable haptic device designed for simulating the grasping of rigid objects in virtual reality.
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.
Stanford researchers have proposed a new concept for direct measurement of specific absorption ratio (SAR), to be used as a safety assessment / monitoring tool for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Stanford University and Samsung researchers have patented a microfluidic-based platform that can rapidly fabricate and characterize Organic Thin Film Transistor (OTFT) arrays composed of solution-processable organic semiconducting polymers.
Patient motion during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a significant source of image degradation and artifacts. This invention addresses this limitation in MRI.
Stanford researchers in the CamLab have patented a robust, task-space closed-loop controller for continuum manipulators that can be used in constrained environments and does not rely on a model.
Stanford inventors have developed a method that allows for simultaneous 3D imaging with high resolution by using a multifunctional metalens to replace the conventionally used microlens array in light-field imaging.
The performance of most digital systems today is limited more by their communication or interconnection rather than their logic or memory. To increase the entire system's efficacy, the focus is on improving the system's interconnection network.
