Old human cells return to a more youthful and vigorous state after being induced to briefly express a panel of proteins involved in embryonic development,…
A close up of the microwire array. With a silicon chip attached to the top and the wires at the bottom gently inserted into the…
The golden color illustrates the deposition of biocompatible polymers on two genetically targeted neurons at right, sparing neighboring cells. The selective deposition of these polymers,…
Stanford researchers used advanced microscopy and mathematical modeling to discover a pattern that governs the growth of neurons in the flatworm brain, shown here. Using…
Diamond’s physical properties make it a valuable material for medicine, industry, quantum computing technologies and biological sensing. With the right amount of pressure and surprisingly…
According to a new study. electrolyte supplements popular with endurance runners can’t be relied on to keep essential sodium levels in balance. Electrolyte supplements popular…
The next era of computing will depend on controlling light the way we now control electricity, and researchers from Stanford University have developed a trick…
Using machine learning, a Stanford-led research team has slashed battery testing times – a key barrier to longer-lasting, faster-charging batteries for electric vehicles. Credit: Cube3D…
This image, magnified 25,000 times, shows a section of a prototype accelerator-on-a-chip. The segment shown here are one-tenth the width of a human. The oddly…
A liquified natural gas tanker near shore. Because of greater supply and cheaper prices, natural gas usage has surged, accounting for 60 percent of fossil…
DESI’s 5,000 spectroscopic “eyes” can cover an area of sky about 38 times larger than that of the full moon, as seen in this overlay…
Complex disease transmission patterns could explain why it took tens of thousands of years after first contact for our ancestors to replace Neanderthals throughout Europe…
Research by Mark Z. Jacobson, professor of civil and environmental engineering, suggests that carbon capture technologies are inefficient and increase air pollution. Given this analysis,…
In human cell cultures, countering a defect that appears to be nearly universal among patients with Parkinson’s disease prevents death in the cells whose loss…
