On New Year’s Day, many Stanford scientists appeared on CBS’ “60 Minutes” with Scott Pelley to examine the worldwide mass extinction issue. Spoiler alert: no one had good news. AccordingContinue Reading
Stanford University researchers may have discovered a way to resurrect rechargeable lithium batteries while increasing the range of battery life for both electric vehicles and next-generation electronic devices. That is,Continue Reading
The new approach, according to scientists at Stanford University and the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, is the re-engineering of one of the heaviest components in batteries: sheetsContinue Reading
Race cars and Sailboats leave eddies of disturbed air in their wake, thus slowing down the one behind. Researchers at Stanford have taken a look at how the wake fromContinue Reading
On May 11, levels of the carbon dioxide gas reached 415 parts per million, more than 100 ppm above our typical atmospheric levels over the past 800,000 years. Even ifContinue Reading
Running an electrical current through water splits it into oxygen and hydrogen, the latter of which can be used as a reliable, zero-emission fuel source. In the past, the processContinue Reading
A new type of “lung” created by researchers at Stanford University, give out hydrogen fuel when water is given as input — a clean source of energy that could oneContinue Reading
Nanotechnology has been used by scientists at Stanford University to create crystalline silicon (c-Si) thin-film solar cells that are more efficient at capturing solar energy. The discovery can reduce theContinue Reading
