Genome Sequencing

Professor Stephen Quake has sequenced his genome at a much lower cost and with a much smaller team than anyone has reported before for a full human sequence.

Carbon Capture

A new power plant design could keep emissions of coal burning out of the air by keeping them trapped in brackish aquifer water.

CAMERA 2.0

Giving people total control of a digital camera’s hardware and software could lead to an explosion of innovation in photography. That’s why Stanford researchers have created an open source device, called “Frankencamera.”

Nanotube circuits

New techniques for preventing flaws and for building multilayer chips with carbon nanotubes have resulted in prototypes that demonstrate unprecendented feasibility of "nanotube" integrated circuits

Terman Awards

When the school recognizes its top graduating seniors, the students share the honor with their most inspirational high school teacher. The Terman Awards celebrate a beautiful relationship of intellectual life.
