A study of how 98 million Americans move around each day suggests that most infections occur at “superspreader” sites, and details how mobility patterns help…
This artist’s conception of Jupiter’s icy moon Europa shows a hypothesized cryovolcanic eruption, in which briny water from within the icy shell blasts into space.…
Using “lab on a chip” technology, Stanford engineers have created a microlab half the size of a credit card that can detect COVID-19 in just…
To mask or not to mask — and which mask to use? With public health guidance about masks in the United States confused by political…
For decades Z-X Shen has ridden a wave of curiosity about the strange behavior of electrons that can levitate magnets. Zhi-Xun Shen vividly remembers his…
The stylized yeast cells depicted in several leaves and flower petals are an artist’s interpretation of how scientists, using the tools of synthetic biology, genetically…

Researchers at Stanford University are developing a new insulin formulation that begins to take effect almost immediately upon injection, potentially working four times as fast…
In 2017, Stanford University researchers presented a new device that mimics the brain’s efficient and low-energy neural learning process. It was an artificial version of…
Lipitoids, which self-assemble with DNA and RNA, can serve as cellular delivery systems for antiviral therapies that could prevent COVID-19 and other coronavirus infections. Credit:…
