Stanford researchers have developed a simple and effective method to sort semiconducting from metallic single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT). This scalable technique uses semiconducting polymers to wrap around individual semiconducting SWNTs dispersed in a solution.
Stanford researchers successfully purified highly enriched semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) free of any dispersing agent via an easy, fast and scalable method.
Stanford researchers at the Shenoy Lab have tested a method that can detect and predict the outcome of brain machine interface (BMI) tasks using motor cortical brain activity.
Researchers in Dr. Karl Deisseroth's lab have engineered a channelrhodopsin variant that can be stimulated by red light and has fast stimulation frequencies. In neurons, channelrhodopsins are light activated protein channels that induce action potential firing.
A team of Stanford and MIT researchers developed a perovskite/silicon multijunction solar cell designed to surpass the photovoltaic efficiency limits of silicon while utilizing existing manufacturing capabilities.
Researchers in Prof. Sachin Katti's laboratory have developed WiDeo, a motion tracing camera using WiFi signals as the light source. This patented, high resolution system accurately traces human motion in indoor environments using WiFi signals and compact WiFi radios.
Researcher in Prof. Ada Poon's laboratory have developed a way to increase the efficiency of rectification and power management of wirelessly powered implants that are operated in the electromagnetically weakly coupled regime.
Researchers in Prof. Michelle Monje-Deisseroth's laboratory have discovered a previously unknown mechanism for glioma tumor growth and invasion that defines a novel set of therapeutic targets.
Time-resolved phase contrast MRI (4D flow) can quantify cardiac function and flow. The technique may even permit complex anatomical assessment, thus comprising a comprehensive exam in a single scan. Unfortunately, artifacts from respiratory motion compromise this ability.
Stanford researchers have developed a cell line (MFB-F11) that can be used for an easy, sensitive, and specific bioassay to study the biological functions of Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-beta).
An optical device, a method of configuring an optical device, and a method of using a fiber Bragg grating is provided. The optical device includes a fiber Bragg grating, a narrowband optical source, and at least one optical detector.
An optical device includes at least one optical waveguide including a plurality of elongate portions. Light propagates sequentially and generally along the elongate portions.
Stanford researchers have created a device with defined parallel-oriented fibrillar nanostructure that can control endothelial cell alignment along the direction of the fibrillar nanostructure.
