For months, a team has been reconstructing some of the iconic stained-glass windows at Stanford Memorial Church after they were vandalized over the summer. The repaired century-old windows were installed in mid-November.
Sayeh Kohani, who is studying bioengineering and public policy, has won a 2022 Rhodes Scholarship, which provides all expenses for two or three years of graduate study at the University of Oxford in England.
Methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, can be captured and transformed into protein-rich feed for farmed fish – an increasingly important food sector. A new analysis shows how to make the approach more cost-effective than current fish feeds.
On Friday, Nov. 19, the jury acquitted Kyle Rittenhouse of all charges. Stanford Law School criminal justice experts David Alan Sklansky and Robert Weisberg discuss the trial and case.

Then, tens of millions of years later, the Sierra Nevada mountain range as we know it today was “reborn.”
Wilde, a professor emeritus of chemical engineering and of mechanical engineering, was also a beloved teacher who worked to draw more minority students to the field.
As climate conditions change, tree species are shifting their ranges. Wildfire is accelerating this process, likely by reducing competition from established species – a finding that raises questions about how to manage land in an era of shifting ecosystems.
Working at the intersection of hardware and software engineering, researchers are developing new techniques for improving 3D displays for virtual and augmented reality technologies.
