Only supercomputers have the oomph to tackle the grandest challenges facing science, but the difficulty of programming these machines impedes discovery.

Congratulations to Professor John Duchi on receiving the 2019 Office of Naval Research (ONR) Young Investigator Award.

Researchers are developing better, faster ways of providing human guidance to autonomous robots.

A simpler technique for detecting electrical activity in the brain could help unlock the power of the mind to direct the movement of prosthetics.

The team won 3rd place in the 2019 University Rover Challenge (URC) competition which took place at the Mars Desert Research Station (MDRS) in southern Utah.

Designers have always had to find and fix the logic flaws, or bugs, that make chips vulnerable to attack. Now computer algorithms are helping them identify these threats.

Stanford scientist and graduating doctoral student Irena Fischer-Hwang made a new discovery during her studies at Stanford: a passion for data-driven news.

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.
