Perovskite Solar Cells Perform Better Under Pressure

A class of crystals called perovskites are a hot research topic, because they are inexpensive and display excellent electrical properties. They could potentially be used to make solar cells that are both cheape... Read More...

Hiding Wires to Make More Efficient Solar Cells

A team of engineers at Stanford University have found a way to make the metal wiring in solar cells nearly invisible to incoming light. Typically, the wiring in solar cells reflects light away from the cell... Read More...

Underwater Solar Cells Convert Greenhouse Gases into Fuel

Engineers at Stanford University have set a new record for solar energy output under water. They have improved the performance of solar cells that will be used to convert captured greenhouse gases into fuel. Th... Read More...

Stanford’s New Artificial Skin Senses Pressure

A team of Stanford University engineers has created artificial skin that can sense changes in pressure. The material could eventually be used to make prosthetic limbs that allow users to feel the objects they t... Read More...

3D Stacked Computer Chips Combine Logic and Memory

A conventional chip on the left and Stanford's new stacked chip on the right Carbon nanotubes solve many engineering challenges, and now a team from Stanford University has used them to make a computer chip... Read More...

Stanford’s New Aluminum Battery: 6 Pros and 1 Con

Stanford University researchers have developed the first commercially viable aluminum-ion battery. Previous attempts at creating aluminum-ion batteries have struggled with finding materials capable of producing... Read More...

Midfield Radiation Used to Wireless Power Tiny Pacemaker

Researchers from Stanford University have developed a new method to transmit magnetic fields below the skin level to power medical implants. The method, midfield wireless powering, uses electromagnetic inductio... Read More...

Inexpensive Water Splitter Uses AAA Battery

Stanford scientists have developed an inexpensive, emissions-free device that can produce hydrogen through water electrolysis that runs on a 1.5-volt AAA battery. The battery transfers an electrical current thr... Read More...

Researchers Make a Breakthrough in Battery Design

Stanford University researchers developed a method to design a pure lithium anode that will change the future of battery designs. Design engineers have been trying to develop this type of anode for decades, but have not been able to accomplish this feat.

Innovative Design Keeps Solar Cells Cool

Stanford University scientists are testing a new design to keep solar cells cool by guiding unwanted thermal radiation away with a layer of specially patterned silica glass. This new method of cooling takes a p... Read More...
