Transkingdom transfer of DNA from Agrobacterium to plants is a stunning biological feat and the basis of the most widely used tool for introducing new DNA into plants. Yet despite decades of use, fundamental gaps remain in our understanding of Agrobacterium-mediated DNA transfer, particularly the dynamics and mechanisms of transferred ...
Harnessing Membrane-Protein Interactions to Engineer Synthetic and Cellular Lipid Membranes Membranes play a vital role in a variety of physiological processes. Recreating these processes outside of the cell will allow us to better understand them as well as design an entirely new class of materials that can sense, transport, or target important biological signals and molecules. In this talk, I ...
As processors and controllers of electrical energy, power electronics are key drivers of innovation in transportation, energy systems, aerospace, computing, manufacturing, healthcare, consumer electronics, and more. However, unlike information-processing circuits, power electronics are challenging to miniaturize and have yet to undergo the extreme scaling that underpins microelectronics today. While major ...
Everyone in San Francisco hears about AI's environmental impact daily, and the answers range from "it's basically nothing" to "it's catastrophic." The truth, as usual, is more complicated and more interesting than either extreme.Carlos Diaz-Marin, an Assistant Professor at Stanford's Doerr School of Sustainability who leads the DELTA Group studying ...
