Researchers design self-righting buildings that survive earthquake test in style
Stanford scientists and others create a structural design that lets buildings rock during earthquakes, then pull themselves into plumb when the shaking stops, confining damage to replaceable steel 'fuses.' More »

Stanford scientists team with Israeli, Jordanian researchers to study Gulf of Aqaba
Scientists from Stanford University have teamed up with Israeli and Jordanian researchers to protect the Gulf of Aqaba, a strategic waterway whose fragile marine ecosystem is vital to both Israel and Jordan. Participants in the NATO-funded project say they are bridging the Arab-Israeli political divide for the sake of science, peace and environmental conservation. More »

Professor sequences his entire genome at low cost, with small team
In a paper published online Aug. 9 by Nature Biotechnology, a Stanford University professor reports sequencing his entire genome for less than $50,000 and with a team of just two other people. In other words, a task that used to cost as much as a Boeing 747 airplane and required a team of people that would fill half the plane, now costs as much as a mid-priced luxury sedan and the personnel would fill only half of that car.

Chance of nuclear war is greater than you think: Stanford engineer makes risk analysis
The risk of a child born today suffering an early death due to nuclear war is at least 10 percent, according to Martin Hellman, a Stanford professor emeritus in electrical engineering. More »
