Researchers at Stanford have developed a new material for printing at the nanoscale and used it to print minuscule lattices that are both strong and light. The new material is able to absorb twice as much energy than other 3D-printed materials of a comparable density and could be used to create better lightweight protection for fragile pieces of satellites, drones and microelectronics.
Faculty from Stanford's Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) share their predictions on what they expect the biggest advances, opportunities, and challenges will be for artificial intelligence in 2023.
Researchers at Stanford and the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Lab have developed a non-flammable electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries. The new electrolyte, known as Solvent-Anchored non-Flammable Electrolyte (SAFE) proved non-flammable at high temperatures during tests in a lithium-ion battery.
An expert in aircraft design, Illan Kroo, talks about a new generation of flying vehicles that could transform our very concept of transportation-like personal flying cars that take off and land vertically or commercial airliners fueled by clean-burning hydrogen.
Many companies pay a fee to use machine learning models developed and provided by another company (e.g., Google, Amazon, or Microsoft) and access these services by way of an API. Stanford researchers created HAPI (History of APIs) as well as two tools that provide consumers with an automated way to choose the best API for a particular task, dataset and budget.
In the race for fast-charging, energy-dense lithium metal batteries, researchers discovered why the promising solid electrolyte version has not performed as hoped. This could help new designs – and eventually battery production – avoid the problem.
In this The Future of Everything podcast, Mac Schwager, talks safety in multi-robot systems, like those controlling the autonomous vehicles that will soon fill our future.
Chris Gerdes discusses his recently published work with collaborators at Ford Motor Co. on how AVs facing exceptional driving situations can legally and ethically negotiate these scenarios within the existing legal system in the U.S.
Researchers developed a novel AI agent with the ability to seek out new knowledge by asking people questions. "Socially situated artificial intelligence" combines aspects of computer vision and human cognitive and behavioral sciences to take machine learning in a new direction.
In this latest law, policy and AI update, two developments are notable: The U.S. continues to ramp up export controls to prevent China from expanding its chip manufacturing capabilities and the first lawsuit against Github's CoPilot system was filed in the Northern District of California.
