Stanford University News
Glowing nanopillars light up cells
STANFORD, Calif. – A novel cellular research platform uses nanopillars that glow in such a way as to allow a deeper and more precise look into living cells. A Stanford University team led by chemist Bianxiao Cui developed the precise system of illumination. Earlier forms of molecular imaging shined light directly on the subject area rather than using backlighting, as is used in this approach. With the earlier methods, the focal area was physically limited; the minimum observation volume was subject to...
Nanotubes Improve Fluorescence Imaging
STANFORD, Calif., June 1, 2011 — An improved imaging method using fluorescent carbon nanotubes allows researchers to see centimeters deep into a mouse with far more clarity than conventional dyes provide. For a creature the size of a mouse, a few centimeters makes a great...
Edge States of Graphene Nanoribbons Discovered
BERKELEY, Calif., May 10, 2011 — Using a scanning tunneling microsope, researchers have made the first precise measurements of the "edge states" of well-ordered graphene nanoribbons. For nearly two decades, theorists have envisioned that nanoribbons, depending on their width...
“Superskin” goes solar
STANFORD, Calif. – A new ultrasensitive electronic skin can detect chemicals and biological molecules in addition to sensing an incredibly light touch. And now, this “superskin” can be powered by stretchable solar cells, opening up more applications in...
Fingerprints of a gold cluster revealed
JYVÄSKYLÄ, Finland – A recent spectroscopic study has revealed fingerprint features of single crystals of nanometer-scale gold particles, and researchers say the information could be applied to catalysis, sensing, photonics, biolabeling, drug carriers and molecular...
MicroVision Opens 1st R&D Center Outside the US
REDMOND, Wash., & SINGAPORE, April 26, 2011 — Ultraminiature display technology provider MicroVision announced the opening of a research and development center at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore. The facility will focus on the development of breakthrough products using...
Glowing Nanopillars Light Up Cells
STANFORD, Calif., April 14, 2011 — A novel cellular research platform created at Stanford University uses nanopillars that glow in such a way as to allow a deeper and more precise look into living cells. The Stanford team — led by chemist Bianxiao Cui and engineer Yi Cui (no...
US, UK Fund Photosynthesis Improvements
ARLINGTON, Va., April 4, 2011 — Scientists in the US and the UK have been awarded funding totaling more than $10.3 million to improve the process of biological photosynthesis. The US National Science Foundation (NSF) and the UK Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research...
‘Superskin’ Goes Solar
STANFORD, Calif., March 3, 2011 — An ultrasensitive electronic skin has been developed that can detect chemicals and biological molecules in addition to sensing an incredibly light touch. What’s more, this new “superskin” can be powered by stretchable solar cells,...
Superconductors Strengthen Single-Photon Detectors
Mar 1, 2011 — Single-photon detectors (SPDs) underpin a host of new areas in optical physics, one of which is quantum cryptography – or, more correctly, quantum key distribution (QKD) – an application that is already on the fringes of commercial...
Quantum Dots Give Boost to Solar Cells
STANFORD, Calif., Feb. 22, 2011 — Adding a single layer of organic molecules to a solar cell can increase its efficiency threefold, leading to cheaper, more efficient solar panels, chemical engineers at Stanford University found.
Plasmonics to Yield Thinner, Cheaper Solar Cells
STANFORD, Calif., Feb. 14, 2011 — A multidisciplinary team of Stanford engineers led by Mike McGehee, Yi Cui and Mark Brongersma, and joined by Michael Graetzel at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) announced a new technology using plasmonics to...
Townes Receives Honorary Doctorate of Science
GLASGOW, Scotland, Feb. 8, 2011 — A Nobel prize-winning pioneer in laser technology has received an honorary degree from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. Professor Charles Townes, of the University of California at Berkeley, received the Honorary Doctorate...
X-ray Laser Lights Up Little Wonders
MENLO PARK, Calif., Feb. 3, 2011 — Two new studies demonstrate how the unique capabilities of the world’s first hard X-ray free-electron laser — the Linac Coherent Light Source, located at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory — could...
Deep Brain Imaged for Months at a Time
STANFORD, Calif., Jan. 18, 2011 — Travel just one millimeter inside the brain and you'll be stepping into the dark. Standard light microscopes don't allow researchers to look into the interior of the living brain, where memories are formed and diseases such as dementia and...
Affordable X-FEL Built
EINDHOVEN, The Netherlands, Jan. 7, 2011 — Stanford University has an X-FEL (X-ray Free Electron Laser) with a price tag of hundreds of millions. It provides images of “molecules in action,” using a kilometer-long electron accelerator. Researchers at Eindhoven University of...
Predicting Learning Ability of Dyslexics
STANFORD, Calif., Dec. 22, 2010 — Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine have used sophisticated brain imaging to predict with 90 percent accuracy which teenagers with dyslexia would improve their reading skills over time. The research, which is the first to...
Hänsch Named Honorary Chair Professor of UST
HSINCHU CITY, Taiwan, Nov. 30, 2010 — Professor Theodor W. Hänsch has been named honorary chair professor at National Chiao Tung University, an internationally ranked research university. Together with National Tsing Hua National Central and National Yang Ming universities, it is...
Microscope Aids Study of Single Molecules
AMES, Iowa, Nov. 29, 2010 — By combining atomic force microscopy (AFM) and Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) technologies, a researcher at Iowa State University has developed new approach toward single-molecule microscopy. Sanjeevi Sivasankar was looking for a...
SETI’s UV LEDs Complete Space Qualification
COLUMBIA, SC, Nov. 29, 2010 — Sensor Electronic Technology Inc. (SETI), together with Stanford University and National Security Technologies of Livermore, Calif., has demonstrated extreme environmental robustness and radiation hardness of its UVTOP deep ultraviolet LEDs. ...
MRI Possibly Useful for Testing Jets
WASHINGTON, D.C., Nov. 22, 2010 — Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a medical imaging technology used to image organs and soft tissues, also may hold the key to improving the efficiency of jet engines, according to Lt. Col. Michael Benson, a PhD student in mechanical engineering at...

WALTHAM, Mass., Oct. 20, 2010 — Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., a company that strives to make the world healthier, cleaner and safer, announced the formation of a scientific advisory board to formalize the two-way exchange of technological information between itself and...
Broadband Pioneer Awarded Honorary Degree
GLASGOW, England, Oct. 13, 2010 — A Nobel laureate who helped create the technology that made the Internet possible has been presented with an honorary degree by the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow. Charles Kao received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2009 for his...
Light Workout: Optogenetics Stimulates Mouse Muscles
STANFORD, Calif., Sept. 27, 2010 — Light has been used to effectively stimulate muscle movement in mice optically, rather than electrically. In a study involving bioengineered mice whose nerve-cell surfaces are coated with special light-sensitive proteins, researchers at...
DNA Helps Chemists Build Artificial Nose
