Stanford researchers built a computer model to simulate how DNA is packaged in the nucleus, allowing them to do computational experiments that would be impractical at the lab bench.
A second solar-generating plant, to be built in the next three years, will complete the university’s transition to clean power and further shrink campus greenhouse gas emissions.
Stanford scholar Rob Reich looks at the laws and policies that structure charitable giving in America today. He finds that these policies favor the interests of wealthy individuals rather than those in need.
Stanford researchers took a virtual reality experience into a variety of educational settings, including high school classrooms, to test the impact on awareness and understanding of ocean acidification.
In the final senate meeting of the fall quarter, faculty members heard presentations on a variety of dimensions of free speech before adjourning to an executive session.
Elections play a distinctive role for strengthening democracy and voting is a pivotal part of that process, said Stanford political science scholar Emilee Chapman, who in a new paper makes the case for universal participation through mandatory voting.
Professor John Boothroyd was chosen as faculty director of the Stanford-based convening of the Schmidt Science Fellows. The fellowship program includes two postdoctoral scholars who have joined research groups on campus.
A particularly deadly form of ovarian cancer is so deadly in part because it is quick to develop resistance to the drugs used to treat it. Now, a team is using new materials and imaging techniques to better understand the disease.
President Marc Tessier-Lavigne denounced the appearance of a crudely drawn swastika discovered on a piano at Bing Concert Hall. The Stanford Department of Public Safety is investigating.
Odds are rising that warm, dry conditions – the kind that can hurt crop yields, destabilize food prices and exacerbate wildfires – will strike multiple regions at once. A new Stanford study shows just how much the risk is increasing.
The 2018 fire season in California gave Stanford experts much to think about, including how the state can develop better policies for preventing fires and new research to better understand the long-term effects of breathing smoky air.
A new discovery reveals how cells decide what to do with misshapen proteins – whether to salvage or destroy them – and could guide research into neurodegenerative diseases and other cellular processes.
A meeting organized by the Center for Innovation in Global Health helped women from around the world gain skills needed to move into leadership positions in global health.
Hubbard was right next to mission control for the landing of InSight on Mars. Here’s what he thinks about NASA’s latest deep-space triumph and the special satellites that accompanied it.
Over the last half-century, Canada’s Peace-Athabasca Delta has been slowly drying out. A new study shows this loss of habitat is likely responsible for the decline of semi-aquatic muskrat, and could have larger implications.
Todd Eberspacher, manager of facilities, environmental health and safety, and infrastructure information technology in the Chemistry Department, will receive the 2018 Marsh O’Neill Award during a Nov. 26 reception at the Jen-Hsun Huang Engineering Center.
The construction activity around campus is part of the university’s efforts to add on-campus housing and provide academic facilities that foster better research and learning outcomes.
In a matter of seconds, a new algorithm read chest X-rays for 14 pathologies, performing as well as radiologists in most cases, a Stanford-led study says.
Corporate wellness programs need more focus, not more lab tests. Several studies have found that such programs can end up costing more money than they save.
