Expanding our map of Stanford research

We are announcing today a "Stanford Refresh", adding 250,000 nodes to our knowledge base adding more researchers, projects, and papers in and around the Stanford ecosystem. The added context is to help technology scouts find innovations to fit their strategy more closely. We have accompanied the expanded data with a significant enhancement of the Navigator user experience. Advancements to our data processing system will allow us to continuously add data and scale to map out more of the nation's top research universities.

Introducing TechFinder Widgets

Integrated Portals

Stanford University OTL TechFinder adds Visible Legacy widgets to help users explore breaking discoveries and find a fit faster.

The "TechFinder" Technology Transfer Portal offered by the Stanford Office of Technology Licensing (OTL) now features embedded widgets from Visible Legacy. Designed to facilitate the transfer of research into solutions, the widgets visually map the connections between projects, researchers, patents and publications, empowering users to more quickly grasp the context of the innovations and expertise within Stanford’s $2 billion/year research ecosystem.

The impact of Foundation-funded research

Foundations often choose a mission to provide far-reaching benefits to humanity by making grants that enable cutting-edge research possible. This research, when translated to real-world solutions, creates the exponential "impact" of improving our lives for the future. Let's look at one example.

Stanford researchers stretch a thin crystal to get better solar cells

Solar cells may be a solution to global energy needs. Stanford News reports on a collaboration of mechanical engineering and physics researchers achieving an innovative crystalline solar cell with a variable band gap that can be set by stretching the lattice. This variable semiconductor could lead to solar cells that absorb more energy from the sun by being sensitive to a broader spectrum of light.
