“Researchers produced an underwater sound with an intensity that eclipses that of a rocket launch while investigating what happens when they blast tiny jets of water with X-ray laser pulses. A team of researchers has produced a record-shattering underwater sound …
“The obvious drawback of solar panels is that they require sunlight to generate electricity. Some have observed that for a device on Earth facing space, which has a frigid temperature, the chilling outflow of energy from the device can be …
“A battery-like device could act as an artificial synapse within computing systems intended to imitate the brain’s efficiency and ability to learn. The brain’s capacity for simultaneously learning and memorizing large amounts of information while requiring little energy …
“In order to make autonomous cars navigate more safely in difficult conditions – like icy roads – researchers are developing new control systems that learn from real-world driving experiences while leveraging insights from physics. Researchers at Stanford University have developed a new …
“Strokes often have a devastating impact on something most of us rely heavily on in our daily lives – our hands. Now, Stanford researchers are collaborating on a vibrating glove that could improve hand function after a stroke. The most obvious …
“Computers have shrunk to the size of laptops and smartphones, but engineers want to cram most of the features of a computer into a single chip that they could install just about anywhere. A Stanford-led engineering team has developed the …
“Stanford researchers have developed an electronic glove that bestows robotic hands with some of the manual dexterity humans enjoy. Stanford engineers have developed an electronic glove containing sensors that could one day give robotic hands the sort of dexterity that …
“A New Laser Architecture Taps Coherent Light to Create Complex, Sophisticated Structures to Probe and Control Matter Universal light modulator may soon be a game-changer for photonics applications that require high power WASHINGTON— Lasers have a unique ability to precisely …
“A new rooftop device under development will be able to produce electricity from sunlight while also beaming heat directly into space to cool buildings. Stanford electrical engineer Shanhui Fan wants to revolutionize energy-producing rooftop arrays. Today, such arrays do one …
“A new study is a step forward in understanding why perovskite materials work so well in energy devices and potentially leads the way toward a theorized “hot” technology that would significantly improve the efficiency of today’s solar cells. A …
