Stanford researchers say extracting uranium from seawater could help nuclear power play a larger role in a carbon-free energy future
February 17, 2017 Stanford researchers say extracting uranium from seawater could help nuclear power play a larger role in a carbon-free energy future As the world shifts from fossil fuels, additional sources of energy-on-demand will be needed to make up for lulls in wind or solar. A new way of extracting uranium from seawater could help even countries without uranium mines harness nuclear power i
Artificial synapse for neural networks
For all the improvements in computer technology over the years, we still struggle to recreate the low-energy, elegant processing of the human brain. Now, researchers at Stanford University and Sandia National Laboratories have made an advance that could help computers mimic one piece of the brain’s efficient design – an artificial version of the space over which neurons communicate, called a synap
Artificial intelligence used to identify skin cancer
It’s scary enough making a doctor’s appointment to see if a strange mole could be cancerous. Imagine, then, that you were in that situation while also living far away from the nearest doctor, unable to take time off work and unsure you had the money to cover the cost of the visit. In a scenario like this, an option to receive a diagnosis through your smartphone could be lifesaving. A dermatologist
Starfish larvae create complex water whorls to eat and run
Peek into a tide pool along the shore and you may see a starfish clinging quietly to a rock. But that secure adulthood comes at the expense of a harrowing larval journey. Tiny starfish larvae – each smaller than a grain of rice – spend 60 days and 60 nights paddling the open ocean, feeding to accumulate the energy needed to metamorphose into the familiar star shape. A starfish larva is shown here
Stanford researchers create new special-purpose computer
The processing power of standard computers is likely to reach its maximum in the next 10 to 25 years. Even at this maximum power, traditional computers won’t be able to handle a particular class of problem that involves combining variables to come up with many possible answers, and looking for the best solution. Post-doctoral scholar Peter McMahon, left, and visiting researcher Alireza Marandi exa
Stanford part of Bay Area Biohub collaboration
Stanford will be one of three Bay Area universities – along with the University of California, San Francisco and the University of California, Berkeley – to participate in a new bioscience collaboration funded through a $600 million commitment by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, created the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative after the birth of
Medieval songs reflect humor in amorous courtships
Medieval courtship brings to mind images of chivalrous knights worshipping fair damsels, expressing their love for their ladies in refined and poetic language. Illustration is taken from the Codex Manesse, a prime source of medieval poetry in German and particularly of courtly love poems. Stanford Professor Kathryn Starkey explores the works of one such poet, Neidhart von Reuental, in a new book.
