Stanford and UC Berkeley researchers have been studying black widow systems for more than a decade, hoping to discover just how large these neutron stars can grow.
Brielle Ferguson, co-founder of Black in Neuro, talks about her research at Stanford and her work to improve the diversity of the scientific community.
A probe developed by Stanford researchers reveals previously unknown structure of electric fields inside an enzyme’s active site, yielding clues to the source of enzymes’ power.
The linear model of making, consuming, and then discarding products has hit a dead end, say Stanford GSB researchers; the switch to a circular economy could protect the environment and help companies generate more value.
Robert Malenka, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, explains the brain’s reward system and psychedelic drugs’ potential for treating psychiatric disorders.
