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 have developed a deep-learning model that maps fuel moisture levels in fine detail across 12 western states, opening a door for better fire predictions.…
NASA’s Mars Perseverance Rover, expected to launch in July 2020, will land in Jezero crater, pictured here. The image was taken by instruments on NASA’s…
Researchers present new evidence that the deoxygenation of the ocean wiped out biodiversity during one of the “Big Five” mass extinctions in Earth’s history –…
The antibody test developed at Stanford Medicine relies on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technology and is conducted using an ELISA plate, such as the one shown…
An analysis by two Stanford Medicine researchers challenges the assumption that people are unlikely to have COVID-19 if they have another type of viral respiratory…
A new form of magnetic brain stimulation rapidly relieved symptoms of severe depression in 90% of participants in a small study conducted by researchers at…
