Engineers at Stanford have invented a smart toilet platform that will autonomously monitor excreted waste from humans. We describe easily deployable hardware and software for the long-term analysis of a user's excreta through data collection and models of human health.
Stanford Prof. Juan Santiago and a team of engineers have developed a method of speeding up chemical reactions between a probe on a surface and a molecule in solution.
W.E. Moerner and Adam Cohen have patented the Anti-Brownian ELectrokinetic trap (ABEL trap) which can trap, measure, and manipulate sub-micron objects (e.g. single molecules) in solution at ambient temperature.
Researchers in Prof. Stephen Quake's laboratory have developed a method to measure the entire fetal genome noninvasively using materials from maternal blood.
