From the article:

Researchers at Stanford University's Electrical Engineering department created a flexible phase-change memory made of a superlattice material that becomes 100 times more energy-efficient when put onto a flexible and bendable substrate. This application has the potential to create a more energy-efficient data storage.

From the article:

Most of us take it for granted that we can read another person’s emotions through subtleties such as body language, yet this is a real struggle for many others. Enter emotion AI. 

 

Researchers at Stanford University modified Google’s augmented reality glasses to read emotions in others and notify the wearer. The glasses detect someone’s mood through their eye contact, facial expressions and body language, and then tell the wearer what emotions it’s picking up.

From the article:

In an entirely new approach to making lithium-ion batteries lighter, safer and more efficient, scientists at Stanford University and the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have reengineered one of the heaviest battery components—sheets of copper or aluminum foil known as current collectors—so they weigh 80% less and immediately quench any fires that flare up.

A new desalination device with a dash of green - By reimagining brine as a resource rather than a waste, this technology could make desalination affordable and environmentally benign

From the article:
Many arid, coastal regions of the world rely on desalination to get potable water from the salty seas. This reliance is going to increase as climate change triggers droughts and water scarcity. But desalination is costly, uses a lot of energy, and produces waste brine—a concentrated soup of salt and chemical—that can harm marine ecosystems.

A new desalination device that converts brine into useful chemicals could help. Its developers at Stanford University say it could make desalination affordable and environmentally benign.
