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.
Researchers at Stanford have developed a targeted delivery system using carbon nanotubes to specifically deliver cardiovascular drugs to treat atherosclerosis. A feature of atherosclerotic plaque is the accumulation of apoptotic cells.
Stanford researchers at the Camarillo Lab have designed a real-time screening device system for predicting risk of concussion resulting from head impacts.
A team of interdisciplinary researchers at Stanford have developed a small, lightweight optical strain sensor device to sensitively measure forces within the mitral valve apparatus to help determine the appropriate repair technique for patients undergoing valvular surgery for
Stanford researchers have developed an exceptionally fast, sensitive, and compact X-ray imaging system for distinguishing liquids and other materials in aviation security applications.
Engineers at the Khuri-Yakub Group have designed a non-surgical alternative for treating epilepsy using ultrasonic technology which can detect, localize, and suppress epileptic seizures in epileptic patients.
Ultrasound complements mammography as an imaging modality for breast cancer detection, especially in patients with dense breast tissue, but its utility is limited by low diagnostic accuracy.
Stanford researchers have developed an optical coating that steers infrared and visual light in different paths while suppressing the typical undesired rainbow effect.
Stanford inventors have developed a new approach to tackling the vergence-accommodation conflict, which is a common contributor to discomfort associated with virtual reality setups.
Researchers at Stanford have discovered a powerful new optogenetic actuator- a novel red-shifted opsin. Optogenetics is a technique used to study function and communication between cells.
Current injectable hydrogel materials have fast erosion and limited tunability of their mechanical properties at different stages of applications, limiting their biomedical applications.
Stanford researchers in the Biomimetics and Dexterous Manipulation Lab have patented a low cost, high performance multi-axis capacitive tactile sensor that measures all six components of force and torque.
Stanford researchers have created the first large-scale dataset of aerial videos from multiple classes of targets interacting in complex outdoor spaces.
