Researchers in Professor Zhenan Bao's group at Stanford University have created a thin-film pressure sensor device structure so sensitive it can detect the slightest touch.
Stanford researchers have further developed a new technique for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The technique called hyperpolarized carbon-13 MRI dramatically increases the sensitivity for molecular processes.
Engineers in Prof. Butrus Khuri-Yakub's laboratory have developed a patented, simple, cost efficient, CMUT (capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducers) fabrication process with incomparable precision and performance.
The minicircle is a non-viral DNA vector for non-insertional transgene expression. A typical minicircle contains a transgene expression cassette, and is free of all other plasmid DNA elements, including an antibiotic resistance gene and a plasmid DNA replication origin.
A team of Stanford engineers have developed a low-cost, solution-processed method to fabricate a flexible nanowire mesh that can be used in transparent electrodes, as a replacement for metal oxides (such as ITO, indium tin oxide).
A novel design for a cross-shape micromechanical resonator that consists of an array of devices suited for integrated single chip frequency references, filter, and sensors.
This invention is from the Pritzker Neuropsychiatric Disorders Research Consortium, a collaborative research enterprise comprised of several leading academic institutions and based on a long-term relationship between the Pritzker family and scientists at the various institutio
Researchers in the laboratory of Michael Cleary at Stanford University have developed a mouse that lacks the transcription factor Pbx1. Pbx1 is a proto-oncogene that was originally discovered at the site of chromosomal translocations in pediatric acute leukemia.
Stanford researchers have developed a novel method of fabricating one-dimensional and two-dimensional capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) arrays.
A method of fabricating a variable capacitive device for micromachined sensors and actuators. A critical optimization of these capacitors for both sensing and actuation is achieved by maximizing the capacitance change with gap width or overlap area.
The efficient collection of incident photons (optical efficiency) and their conversion to measurable charge (quantum efficiency) are of critical importance to the performance of image sensors.
