Engineering students developed camera-equipped robots to help probe 3,000-year-old tunnels without disturbing ancient structures or endangering human lives.

Stanford researchers have developed an electronic glove that bestows robotic hands with some of the manual dexterity humans enjoy.

A new thermal transistor could help conduct heat away from delicate electronic components and also insulate them against chip and circuit failure.

Minuscule nanostraws could help solve the problem of how to deliver precise doses of molecules directly into many cells at once.

By structuring nanowires in a way that mimics geckos’ ears, researchers have found a way to record the incoming angle of light. This technology could have applications in robotic vision, photography and augmented reality.

Small flying robots can perch and move objects 40 times their weight with the help of powerful winches and two previous inventions – gecko adhesives and microspines.

Shan Wang, Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and Electrical Engineering, has been appointed the fifth holder of the Leland T. Edwards Professorship.

Stanford researchers found that people who underwent a virtual reality experience, called “Becoming Homeless,” were more empathetic toward the homeless and more likely to sign a petition in support of affordable housing than other study participants.

A new smartphone app and lab kit, from UCSB researcher Michael Mahan's and Stanford’s Tom Soh’s teams, can identify urinary tract infections (UTI) in an hour, with remarkable detail.

Like its predecessor, JackRabbot 2 is learning how to navigate safely through spaces occupied by people, following the rules of human etiquette. What it learns could help it move comfortably among us in the future.
