In a recent paper, Stanford Graduate School of Business professor Charles Jones argues that excessive taxation reduces incentives to develop new ventures and respond to promising ideas, which ultimately makes everyone-not only those with higher incomes-poorer.
Panelists in the Advancing Technology for a Sustainable Planet workshop examined how AI can help advance environmental solutions, improve environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting, and also better understand AI’s impact on the environment.
Stanford researchers recommend alternatives to nighttime EV charging, previously believed to be the best time for accessing low demand and low cost electricity. The researchers say drivers should move to daytime charging which could cut costs and help the grid.
In this Future of Everything episode, computer science professor Omar Reingold explains how we can create definitions of fairness that can be incorporated into computer algorithms.
Chemists from Stanford, UC-Berkeley and Texas A&M, have created a cheap, easy and energy-efficient way to capture carbon dioxide from smokestacks and possibly vehicles. An inexpensive polymer called melamine is used as a carbon capture material which could potentially be scaled down to capture emissions from movable sources.
The Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment is awarding $1.65 million to 10 innovative projects. One of the projects funded is mitigating a source of lead in South Asia - informal recycling of lead acid batteries from 3-wheeled EVs. The trial will measure the project's effect on lead emissions, greenhouse gas emissions, profits and livelihoods.
Stanford researchers work to solve the mysteries of battery degradation, reveal the true environmental toll of battery production and disposal, and improve the performance of next generation batteries.
The Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability officially opened on September 1. Dean Arun Majumdar brings his personal experiences of growing up in India and extensive experience in academia, government industry and national labs to his new role.
In this interview, Londa Schiebinger, international expert on gender in science and technology discusses tools she developed to help achieve inclusive design, and her recommendations for making inclusive design a part of the product development process.
A new National Academies of Science report argues whose members include John Hennessy, the former president of Stanford and an advisor to Stanford HAI, that researchers must start projects with ethical review, working with stakeholders and experts from other fields.
