In a project is supported by the Stanford Sustainability Accelerator, Stanford researchers are developing multimaterial 3D printing techniques aimed at expanding manufacturing applications across cultivated meat, robotics, energy storage, aerospace and other industries.

Natalie Larson, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, shares how an innovative 3D printing approach is transforming applications across structural batteries, antennas, soft robotics, and more. With support from the Stanford Sustainability Accelerator, she's working on a scalable 3D printing process for cultivated meat.

Accelerator Policy Director Michael Wara weighs in on California’s wildfire fund for utilities on KQED Forum.

Stanford researcher Vayu Hill-Maini, Ph.D., may be the rare scientist who loves being in the kitchen as much as the lab—and luckily, his are just a few feet apart. This video explores how his Accelerator-funded project uses fungi-driven fermentation and bioengineering to transform food waste into new foods and beverages, with the potential to help revolutionize our food system.

Stanford researchers, including Accelerator project teams, are working to help cities adapt to extreme weather and keep people and buildings cool during severe heat waves.

The global population could approach 10 billion by 2050. How do we feed that many people in an equitable, sustainable, and nutritious way? Stanford bioengineer Vayu Hill-Maini is turning to “nature’s recyclers” for answers as part of work supported by the Accelerator.

Farmers in Senegal are welcoming fish into their rice paddies. A team supported by the Accelerator hopes the fish will fertilize the crop, serve as a source of food, and eat the snails that carry parasitic worms.

Stanford researchers supported in part by the Accelerator developed an AI tool that creates novel burger recipes optimized for individual preferences. The implications for science go well beyond food.

The chronic disease schistosomiasis wreaks havoc on more than 220 million people around the world. New research shows how introducing fish into rice fields could help reduce disease incidence and poverty in a hot spot for the disease

Rosemary Knight and colleagues at Stanford and beyond are building a network of advanced sensors to monitor dozens of variables that affect our water supply.

Why is the cost of electricity going up in U.S. western states? Stanford experts explain how wildfires, AI data centers, extreme weather, and deferred grid maintenance are affecting utility bills, along with strategies that could help lower costs.

Companies can become university affiliates or reach out direct to spinout companies.

With support from the TomKat Center and the Stanford Sustainability Accelerator, scholars are working to scale a fast-acting fertilizer that captures carbon.

An Accelerator-supported team working to decarbonize industry took first place in the world's longest-running competition for student-led, climate tech startups.

With energy costs up and electricity demand climbing, Stanford researchers are leading efforts to make clean power affordable and reliable for all while cutting the emissions that drive climate change. Their work ranges from deep underground heat to solar on farms, renewable fuels, and upgrades for the power grid and batteries.

"Carbon removal is not a science experiment," says Jeff Brown, a managing director at the Accelerator. "We have the technology, and it's achievable and central to meeting our climate goals."

"When you're working with mining companies, you really need to understand where they're coming from, and how your solutions can fit into how they think about the problem," says Albert Chan, a managing director at the Accelerator.
