Poisonous heavy metals contaminating thousands of sites nationwide threaten to enter the food chain, and there’s been no easy way to remove them.

A swarm of 105 tiny satellites the size of computer chips, costing under $100 each, recently launched into Earth’s orbit. Stanford scientist Zac Manchester, who dreamed up the ChipSats, said they pave the way for cheaper and easier space exploration.

Hiking trails and other rough terrain are especially difficult for people with prosthetic legs. Now, Stanford engineers have come up with more stable prostheses – and a better way to design them.

Stanford students developed a dog-like robot that can navigate tough terrain – and they want you to make one too.

A battery-like device could act as an artificial synapse within computing systems intended to imitate the brain’s efficiency and ability to learn.

People Behind the Science's mission is to inspire current and future scientists, share the different paths to a successful career in science, educate the general population on what scientists do, and show the human side of science.

Professor of Electrical Engineering Jonathan Fan has won the 2019 Okawa Foundation Research Grant.

Up to half of people who should be screened for colorectal cancer do not get the routine procedure. A blood test to detect colorectal cancer being developed by Stanford doctors and materials scientists could help change that.

Five robot inventors share how they got their start in the field and how they've seen it evolve.

These tiny particles could eventually take the place of more expensive single crystal semiconductors found in solar panels, camera sensors and medical imaging tools.
