Made with ‘Jenga chemistry,’ the discovery could help crack the mystery of how high-temperature superconductors work. Scientists at the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator…
When significant oxygen entered the atmosphere, ancient life multiplied. But after a few hundred million years, Earth’s oxygen plummeted, resulting in a die-off likely greater…
Atomically thin materials developed by Stanford researchers could create heat-shields for cell phones or laptops that would protect people and temperature-sensitive components and make future…
Stanford engineers have developed experimental stickers that pick up physiological signals emanating from the skin, then wirelessly beam these health readings to a receiver clipped…
Genome-wide association studies, which look for links between particular genetic variants and incidence of disease, are the basis of much modern biomedical research. But databases…
A new study published in Cell Reports details how a small-molecule inhibitor tested by researchers at Yale and Stanford may be the answer to blocking…
Many studies have suggested that the genetics of skin pigmentation are simple. A small number of known genes, it is thought, account for nearly 50…
A new study from the Carnegie Institution For Science shows that reservoirs of oxygen-rich iron between the Earth’s core and mantle could have played a…
Researchers from MIT and Stanford have developed a way to label neurons when they become active, essentially providing a snapshot of their activity at a…
This newly released Hubble images shows MACS J0416, which is located about 4.3 billion light-years from Earth. At first glance, this cosmic kaleidoscope of purple,…
A team of researchers from Rutgers and Stanford have created a new way to inject healthy human nerve cells into the brain that could someday…
Engineers from NASA, MIT and Stanford are developing “hedgehog” robots that are specifically designed to overcome the challenges of traversing small bodies in microgravity by…
Using the Gemini Planet Imager, astronomers have discovered a young Jupiter-like planet that is 100 light-years away. One of the best ways to learn how…
Researchers at Stanford University have developed a synchronous computer that operates using the unique physics of moving water droplets. Their goal is to design a…
By combining two types of photovoltaic material, researchers from MIT and Stanford have developed a new “tandem” solar cell that harnesses more sunlight. Researchers at…
Biologists from the Stanford University School of Medicine used a modified type of RNA to demonstrate a way to lengthen human telomeres by as much…
Using a new algorithm, engineers from Stanford University have developed a prism-like device that can split a beam of light into different colors and bend…
New research from Stanford Bio-X scientists shows that the brains of adult mice are able to form new synapses by disabling the function of a…
