A chemical engineering professor discusses how he learned to be a better educator: "I love supporting my graduate students and helping move them along their way."

In the era of COVID-19, a team of chemical engineering educators rethink a capstone lab class for seniors.

Scientists have documented a process that makes these next-gen batteries lose charge – and eventually some of their capacity for storing energy – even when a device is turned off.

"James Swartz has spent a dozen years refining an underappreciated biotech technique into a radical new vaccine approach that could quickly protect billions of people from..."

The result was a podcast part of the series "What's eating what"

The very notion of wastewater, and what we choose to do with it, could change dramatically if this Stanford chemical engineer has his way.

For a first-generation college student, encouraging education is a family affair.

Researchers are developing a solar-based fertilizer production that could one day replace a decades-old process that consumes energy and causes greenhouse gas emission.

Chemical engineer Will Tarpeh says it could help alleviate a multitude of global challenges — from environmental sustainability to hunger.

Stanford researchers have designed a new electrolyte for lithium metal batteries that could increase the driving range of electric cars.

A new device capable of turning desalination waste into commercially valuable chemicals could make the process cheaper and more environmentally friendly.

New research explores how physical pushing and pulling between cells helps them differentiate into the myriad cell types in the body.

A finding that its discoverers did not expect could one day help bioengineers grow stem cells into replacement body parts.

To demonstrate the new technique, researchers genetically reprogrammed neurons to cover themselves with an artificial mesh that changed their electrochemical functions.

The experimental device promises to provide a safe and comfortable power source for technologies that must bend and flex with our bodies.

Doctors and researchers are equipped with objective tests to detect and measure many serious illnesses. But when it comes to mental illness, no such tests exist.

They make a remarkable array of chemicals to survive the world around them. One engineer is using that knowledge to help people live better.
