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.
Researchers in Prof. Hemamala Karunadasa's laboratory have developed inexpensive, robust, high capacity hybrid materials for reversible or irreversible capture of halogens (chlorine, bromine, and iodine gas).
Researchers in Prof. Gerald Crabtree's laboratory have identified the pathological mechanism for synovial sarcoma (SS) that could be used to develop targeted therapeutics. This approach aims to reverse the effects of the SS18-SSX fusion protein (the hallmark of human SS).
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.
Engineers from Stanford and the Australian National University have developed a robust micro electric propulsion system to maneuver miniature satellites (CubeSats) and thereby extend their lifetime.
Dr. Mark Kay and colleagues have created antibiotic-selectable, non-silencing plasmid vectors that can be prepared by conventional methods and provide persistent high levels of transgene expression.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a high-throughput barcoding method that greatly improves sequencing accuracy and makes it possible to do robust single molecule profiling, since it can trace duplicate sequencing reads to their original single molecule clones.
This invention is an efficient and very small high frequency inductor developed by Stanford researchers and made on an active substrate, such as silicon.
