One challenge that renewable energy developers increasingly face  - particularly in land-restricted and urban areas - is community opposition to industrial development in their backyard. And when clean energy is installed, it rarely benefits low income communities and communities of color. At Shake Energy Collaborative, we are exploring a new ...
You’ve taken HCI classes at Stanford, but you’re curious about how reality works outside of Stanford. How do the techniques, practices and priorities in the classroom translate into HCI in the wild? As a Stanford faculty member and the principal of a UX design agency, I’ll share stories from all ...
Recent advances in high gradient cryogenic Cu structure RF research open the door to use of surface electric fields between 250 and 500 MV/m. Such structures can enable a new generation of photoinjectors with brightness an order of magnitude beyond the state-of-the-art. Further, one may accelerate these beams to GeV ...
Most scenarios for ambitious decarbonization rely on photosynthesis-based technologies for a substantial fraction net GHG emissions reductions. These technologies potentially contribute emissions reductions through providing low-emissions energy, coupling with CCS to produce energy with negative emissions, increasing the carbon content of the biosphere, or decreasing emissions from land-use change. While ...
Astronomy on Tap: Los Angeles - LivestreamWe’ll hear from Dr. Jessica Werk: “Intergalactic Immigrants†and from Dr. Zach Hafen: “Exploring the Virtual Universeâ€. In addition, we will host interactive astronomically-themed pub trivia. The event is free and open to all ages.  Join us on YouTube at this link.
