Materials for Sustainability

Scientists have documented a process that makes these next-gen batteries lose charge – and eventually some of their capacity for storing energy – even when a device is turned off.

The latest advance from a research collaboration with industry could dramatically accelerate the development of sturdier batteries for fast-charging electric vehicles.

Injecting patients with a gel that would dissolve over several months could replace the need to administer daily or weekly shots. But to make this possible, researchers first had t

These fleeting disruptions, seen for the first time in lead hybrid perovskites, may help explain why these materials are exceptionally good at turning sunlight into electrical curr

The device can sense levels of virtually any protein or molecule in the blood, and could be transformative for disease detection, patient monitoring and biomedical research.

Yi Cui, a preeminent researcher of nanotechnologies for better batteries and other sustainability technologies, as well as an educator and entrepreneur, will become the next direct

High-speed manufacturing could spur the commercialization of these energy-efficient, cost-effective alternatives to the silicon solar panels that are widely used today.

If adopted, the technology could extend the driving range of electric vehicles and reduce the danger that laptops, cell phones and other devices will burst into flames.

The display would feature brighter images with purer colors and more than 10,000 pixels per inch.

Gently heating N95 masks at a relatively high humidity was found to inactivate any SARS-CoV-2 virus trapped within, without degrading the masks’ performance.

An expert on sustainability looks out at our energy future and says that all hope is not lost — the means to reduce carbon emissions are within our reach.

Researchers have invented a way to slide atomically-thin layers of 2D materials over one another to store more data, in less space and using less energy.

Stanford researchers have designed a new electrolyte for lithium metal batteries that could increase the driving range of electric cars.

Researchers have developed a way to create a two-in-one shot that could make it easier for diabetics to more effectively control their blood sugar levels.

Stanford engineers have developed a new type of protective face mask that can counteract the side effects of oxygen deficiency.

The renewable energy future is riding on the advent of better energy storage options that challenge the very definition of the word “battery.”

The experimental device promises to provide a safe and comfortable power source for technologies that must bend and flex with our bodies.
