The organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology behind flexible cell phones, curved monitors, and televisions could one ...

Does string theory—the controversial “theory of everything” from physics—tell us anything about consciousness and the human ...

The Stanford team created a metasurface from a polymer previously used in solar panels and printable electronics. They found ...

Inspired by the remarkable camouflage abilities of octopus and cuttlefish, Stanford researchers have developed a soft material that can rapidly shift its surface texture and color at extremely fine ...

Shape memory alloys are exotic materials that can be deformed at room temperature and return to their "remembered," ...

As far as taking care of my body goes, I'm not exactly low maintenance. I regularly lift weights and try to get in pilates when I can, and I aim to eat a balanced diet. But in spite of this, I still ...

To explore this long-standing mystery, an international team of scientists formed a group known as the Collaboration for ...

Although the team ultimately built a physical cloaking device, their work began in the theoretical realm. Mathematical modeling and physics-based simulations formed the first step in the research ...

Studying one of the simplest animals, Stanford's Prakash Lab uncovered how it folds itself into complex shapes—revealing new insights into a fundamental cellular feature and the origins of tissue ...

Abstract: This study presents a novel fabrication technology for shape memory polymer based kirigami electrodes designed for surface-mounted neural implants. The 3D kirigami structures enable dynamic ...

Abstract: A high voltage (HV) that is usually not available in modern nodes is required to form memristors. A scalable implementation requires the HV to be generated on chip and this work proposes ...
