Rayshubskiy lab “fly microbots” paper published in PNAS and featured in Ars Technica
Rowland Fellow Sasha Rayshubskiy and his team have turned ordinary fruit flies into remarkably controllable “micro-robots.” – without a single gear or circuit board in sight. Rather than building tiny robots from scratch, the team takes advantage of a fruit fly’s built-in reflexes. Their new study, published in PNAS, and featured on the technology news…
Reece lab paper makes the cover of Angewandte Chemie
Rowland Fellow Christian Reece and his team have published an exciting new paper describing the isolation and identification of a high-activity metastable state that forms over carbon monoxide-covered platinum nanoparticles. This project was led by undergraduate researcher Samantha Le in collaboration with postdocs Christopher O’Connor and Taek-Seung Kim. Sam recently joined Stanford Chemistry for graduate…
