With the U.S. poised to invest $50 billion in chip technologies, researchers prepare to create an infrastructure to accelerate how lab discoveries become practical technologies.
For the first time, DES scientists can combine measurements of the distribution of matter, galaxies and galaxy clusters to advance our understanding of dark energy.
A working group of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, led by two Stanford physicists, calls greater global cooperation “increasingly essential.”
Stanford scientists have built a detailed timeline of gene activity leading to meiosis in corn, with implications for plant breeding and for sexually reproductive organisms more broadly.
Patients with cardiomyopathy have abnormally short telomeres in the cells responsible for heart contraction, Stanford researchers find. This opens new pathways for drug discovery.
Scientists at Stanford used the wire to capture free-floating tumor cells in the blood, a technique that soon could be used in humans to yield an earlier cancer diagnosis.
High-grade gliomas, a group of aggressive brain tumors, cease growing in mice if a signaling molecule called neuroligin-3 is absent or its activity is blocked with drugs, a Stanford team has shown.
A new solar cell inspired by the compound eyes of insects could help scientists overcome a major roadblock to the development of solar panels based on a promising material called perovskite.
Stanford faculty will be part of a new collaboration created by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to study biotechnology, together with UC Berkeley and UCSF. Stephen Quake, professor of bioengineering and of applied physics, will co-lead the Biohub.
