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

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.

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.

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.

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.
