Injectable hydrogel could reduce daily diabetes shots to just three a year
Dietary management drugs have transformed Type 2 diabetes care, but daily injection routines are challenging for some patients. A new hydrogel could mean shots just three times a year.
Stanford engineers have created an open-source motion-capture app that uses synchronous video from two smartphones to analyze sophisticated human biomechanics.
A fix for snowpack’s influence on groundwater readings
The weight of snow and ice in the Sierra throws off groundwater assessments in California’s Central Valley, but a new study suggests a better way to gauge how much water aquifers hold.
New technology uses sunlight to disinfect drinking water
A low-cost, recyclable powder can kill thousands of waterborne bacteria per second when exposed to sunlight. Stanford and SLAC scientists say the ultrafast disinfectant could be a revolutionary advance for 2 billion people worldwide without access to safe drinking water.
mRNA vaccine beats infection for key defense against COVID
Stanford Medicine researchers have shown that prior SARS-CoV-2 infection reduces killer T cells’ response to vaccination. These cells are crucial for eliminating the virus from the body.
AI offers ‘paradigm shift’ in study of brain injury
By helping researchers choose among thousands of available computational models of mechanical stress on the brain, AI is yielding powerful new insight on traumatic brain injury.
In the race for fast-charging, energy-dense lithium metal batteries, researchers discovered why the promising solid electrolyte version has not performed as hoped. This could help new designs – and eventually battery production – avoid the problem.
