Stanford researchers have developed various high ionic conductivity thin films (LiAlO2, LiAlF4) to stabilize lithium ion battery electrodes without sacrificing power density.
Stanford researchers at the Vuckovic Lab have developed a dispersion engineered phased array which can be used as a beam steering device for compact LIDAR or ranging systems critical for self-driving cars, logistics, and the security sector.
Researchers in Prof. Yi Cui's laboratory have used a novel electrospinning process to fabricate a unique, transparent, highly conductive metal nanofiber material that could be used to replace indium tin oxide (ITO) in transparent electrodes.
Stanford researchers developed a method to make large phase shifts with little or no power dissipation in integrated optics. The approach uses a directional coupler moved by a MEMS actuator to achieve a path delay, i.e. an effective change in refractive index.
Stanford researchers in the Dai Lab have developed the first ultra-bright cubic-phase erbium-based rare-earth nanoparticles (α-ErNPs) with down-shifting luminescence at ~ 1600 nm for in vivo NIR-IIb (1500-1700 nm) imaging with deep penetration and high clarity.
Stanford researchers have developed an exceptionally fast, sensitive, and compact X-ray imaging system for distinguishing liquids and other materials in aviation security applications.
Stanford researchers have developed an optical coating that steers infrared and visual light in different paths while suppressing the typical undesired rainbow effect.
Stanford researchers have developed a method to fabricate highly efficient Si/TMDs tandem solar cells which aims to break the 30% efficiency barrier with low cost and increased reliability.
Stanford researchers have developed a new machine learning method for extracting gait parameters, such as cadence, step length, peak knee flexion, and Gait Deviation Index (GDI), from a single video.
Stanford researchers have proposed a novel, in vivo, real-time epifluorescence imaging method in the second near-infrared region using single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs).
Stanford researchers led by Profs. Yi Cui and Steven Chu have demonstrated that interfacial layer of hollow carbon nanospheres allows stable lithium metal anode cycling up to a practical current density of 1 mA cm-2.
Engineers in Prof. Zhenan Bao's laboratory have developed a fully elastic, highly stretchable fluorinated polymer that can be used as a photoresist with standard lithography techniques for precise patterning of flexible electronic devices.
Dr. Guillem Pratx and colleagues have developed a high-throughput single cell scintillation counting system that can sort cells on the basis of uptake of a small radiolabeled molecule.
Stanford researchers have invented a C-Aperture Nano-Tip which provides a new way to further enhance the optical resolution down to smaller than 15 nm.
