A new study finds that factory and warehouse rooftops offer a big untapped opportunity to help disadvantaged communities bridge the solar energy divide.
Researchers studied hundreds of Bengal cats to uncover the origins of their leopard-print coats and found they're mostly the result of domestic cat genes.
New findings about how insulating sheaths form around nerve fibers in the developing brain could inform treatments for multiple sclerosis and related disorders.
Stanford materials engineers have 3D printed tens of thousands of hard-to-manufacture nanoparticles long predicted to yield promising new materials that change form in an instant.
Getting kids to avoid junk food is an uphill battle, especially when they have their own money to spend. A new study finds price incentives make healthy foods more attractive.
Researchers at Stanford have designed a spring-assisted actuator – a device that can accomplish dynamic tasks using a fraction of the energy previously required.
Stanford-led research shows methane emissions from a large share of U.S. oil and gas facilities are three times higher on average than the level predicted by official government estimates.
Stanford researchers have developed soft integrated circuits that are powerful enough to drive a micro-LED screen and small enough to read thousands of sensors in a single square centimeter.
New Stanford research adds to evidence that the seasonality of respiratory illnesses, like COVID-19 or the flu, can be linked to indoor humidity levels.
Are search engine ads just intrusive and scammy? Or do they provide real value to consumers? The questions demand data, Navdeep Sahni says – and now he has it.
Immigrants are known to make outsized contributions to American innovation. Research shows they make their native-born collaborators more productive as well.
Scientists are using devices to connect the interior of the mind with the outside world, a feat that may enable people with a range of neurological conditions to regain function in movement, speech, and vision.
Uniting the complex mathematics of trajectory optimization with the powers of generative AI, aerospace engineers at Stanford hope to put self-driving spacecraft within reach.
Frequency combs have revolutionized precision measurement, but the bulky, power-hungry devices are limited to lab settings. A new efficient laser “microcomb” developed by Stanford researchers could bring that revolution to the handheld electronics realm.
An AI model that uses Google Street View to spot early signs of gentrification could one day help cities target anti-displacement policies more precisely.
