Despite widespread adoption of stationary wireless charging, dynamic wireless power transfer suffers from a sensitivity to relative movement of the device with respect to the power source.
Stanford engineers at Zhenan Bao's laboratory have designed a compliance sensor which can identify softness (compliance) of touched objects and provide human-like sensation to robots and prosthetics.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a genetics-based approach that uses sex-specific genetic effects to predict testosterone levels in males and females.
Researchers at Stanford have developed prodrug derivatives of protein kinase C (PKC) modulators that have lower toxicity and are more effective than the parent compound. PKC modulators are being developed to treat a variety of diseases.
Researchers from Stanford and UC Santa Barbara have created a novel robot that blends traditional and soft robotics. This human-scale pneumatic robot can change shape and move independently once inflated, without needing a constant power or air source.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a new water-based disinfectant with the potential to destroy a wide variety of pathogens and significantly improve healthcare settings.
Stanford researchers have developed a damage free method for activating buried p-type or Mg-doped epitaxial layers in III-nitride devices that improves performance and can reduce device cost when used as edge termination.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a method of preventing Graft versus Host Disease (GVHD) by inhibiting a specific immune receptor. GVHD is a major debilitating complication of transplantation.
Stanford researchers at the Xing Lab have developed a novel technique to enable retrospective tuning of soft tissue contrast in MRI (i.e. adjusting the contrast after the image acquisition) using a deep learning-based strategy.
Researchers at Stanford have developed humanized therapeutic antibodies to treat cancers, particularly melanoma, inflammatory disorders such as sarcoidosis and skin and organ fibrosis.
