The next era of computing will depend on controlling light the way we now control electricity, and Stanford scientists have developed a trick that could do just that.

Using artificial intelligence, a Stanford-led research team has slashed battery testing times – a key barrier to longer-lasting, faster-charging batteries for electric vehicles – by nearly fifteenfold.

A professor of astronautics foresees a new space age in which distributed space systems made of small satellites work in tandem to replace or augment their monolithic ancestors.

By teaching machines to understand our true desires, one scientist hopes to avoid the potentially disastrous consequences of having them do what we command.

Photonics engineers are working toward a day when fast, energy-efficient computers do their mathematics using photons — packets of light — instead of electrons.

A team is designing experiments that will use new, jello-like materials to develop out-of-this world products aboard the International Space Station.

The experimental device promises to provide a safe and comfortable power source for technologies that must bend and flex with our bodies.

The PigeonBot could help improve wing design, and may advance understanding of avian evolution.

Stanford researchers are helping to develop swarms of cheap sat-bots that would work together to get more done than larger, costlier satellites working alone.

Emboldened by new data and insights about how people learn, the dream of computers teaching people is entering a new era that reaches far beyond reading, writing and arithmetic.
