  5. To understand the future of space flight, it helps to think about a flock of birds flying in a tight formation. Researchers are helping to develop swarms of sat-bots that would work together to get more done than larger, costlier satellites working alone.

  6. The adoption of wearable electronics is limited by their need to derive power from bulky, rigid batteries that reduce comfort. A new stretchable battery could power technologies that bend and flex with our bodies.

  7. “What you see here is two of my PhD students making hydrogels that mimic the soft tissues in our body. We use them to study cell migration.” -Ovijit Chaudhuri, Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering

  10. Tiny mealworms may hold part of the solution to our giant plastics problem. Mealworms fed a steady diet of HBCD-laden polystyrene were as healthy as those eating a normal diet.

  11. Optogenetics, a tool for controlling neurons with light, has given neuroscientists the ability to flip brain cells on and off more or less at will, revolutionizing neuroscience.

  13. In a good educational environment, "teachers are learning and learners are teaching," Dave Beach, co-director of Stanford's Product Realization Lab, says. "I bring a milliwatt of energy into the experience, and all of a sudden, we’ve got megawatts of energy coming back."

  14. Better education is key to solving big societal challenges, like poverty alleviation. Emma Brunskill, an expert on artificial intelligence and machine learning has dedicated her career to finding new and better ways to teach computers to teach humans.

  18. : I help people to understand how polymeric materials, like plastics and silly putty, work on the molecular level. This knowledge has the potential to power a wide range of applications. –Jian Qin, Assistant Professor, Chemical Engineering

  19. A 100-year-old test that takes days to complete is the current norm for identifying bacteria and the correct antibiotic for treatment. Researchers are working to find a better way.

  20. We all know exercise is good for us, but we still don’t do it as much as we should. Consumers, however are quick to discard trendy fitness apps. Is there a better way?
