Improved spectrometer based on nonlinear optics
(14 Nov 2008)
New tool allows for higher sensitivity at reduced complexity and cost
Scientists at Stanford University and Japan's National Institute of Informatics have created a new highly sensitive infrared spectrometer. The device converts light from the infrared part of the spectrum to the visible part, where the availability ...

Making waves - Mathematicians crack quantum chaos conjecture
(13 Oct 2008)
In a seminar co-organized by Stanford University and the American Institute of Mathematics, Soundararajan announced that he and Roman Holowinsky have proven a significant version of the quantum unique ergodicity (QUE) conjecture. "This is one of the ...

Study reveals principles behind stability and electronic properties of gold nanoclusters
(16 Jul 2008)
International team confirms 'divide and protect' bonding structure
A report published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) is the first to describe the principles behind the stability and electronic properties of tiny nanoclusters of metallic gold. The study, which confirms the "divide and ...

Stanford researchers make first direct observation of 3-D molecule folding in real time
(20 Feb 2008)
All the crucial proteins in our bodies must fold into complex shapes to do their jobs. These snarled molecules grip other molecules to move them around, to speed up important chemical reactions or to grab onto our genes, turning them "on" and "off" ...

Stanford researchers hear the sound of quantum drums
(12 Feb 2008)
Forty years ago, mathematician Mark Kac asked the theoretical question, "Can one hear the shape of a drum?" If drums of different shapes always produce their own unique sound spectrum, then it should be possible to identify the shape of a specific ...

First-ever study to link increased mortality specifically to carbon dioxide emissions
(07 Jan 2008)
A Stanford scientist has spelled out for the first time the direct links between increased levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and increases in human mortality, using a state-of-the-art computer model of the atmosphere that incorporates ...

CO2 emissions could violate EPA ocean-quality standards within decades
(21 Sep 2007)
In a commentary a large team of scientists state that human-induced carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions will alter ocean chemistry to the point where it will violate U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Quality Criteria [1976] by mid-century if emissions ...

Borealis and Borouge are co-founders of the Stockholm Water Prize
(21 Aug 2007)
Borealis and Borouge have become co-founders of the Stockholm Water Prize, contributing to the promotion and reward of leadership and best practices in water and sanitation. The award was presented by the King of Sweden in the Stockholm City Hall on ...

Encoded metallic nanowires reveal bioweapons
(15 Aug 2006)
Striped nanowires of silver and gold for parallel detection of various pathogens
When dangerous infectious diseases or biological weapons are suspected, fast help is required. The first step is a reliable, sensitive, and unambiguous, yet also fast and simple, identification of the pathogen; preferably, this test should be ...

Tiny Tubes for Biotransport
(08 Dec 2005)
Researchers clarify cellular uptake mechanisms for carbon nanotubes
They look like the tiniest of needles and have the potential to channel pharmaceutical agents into targeted living cells: carbon nanotubes are long, thin, nanoscale tubes made of one (or more) layers of carbon atoms in a graphite-like arrangement. ...
