MATSCI 226: Invention to Innovation: The Process of Translation (MATSCI 126)

Ideas need to be translated before the world recognizes and benefits by innovation. In other words, not all inventions end up being useful to humanity or the environment. The bridge between conceptualization and practicality is in translation of ideas to practice. There are several historic examples of close ties between translation and innovation in US history and in the industrial world. Translation is closely associated both with innovation and disruption. The class intends to address specific challenges including the following. The businesses on their path to innovation are strongly rate-limited by the translation problems of new ideas. Many of the inventions often do not make it into the market place or are disrupted at multiple levels in ways that are generally unpredictable. The class intends to provide an understanding how disruptive innovations take place in the context of the larger frame of translation and a framework for traversing this difficult path. In addition to class lectures, practitioners who have been involved in the process of translation in the real world will be invited to share their experiences.

MATSCI 236: An Introduction to Quantitative X-ray Microanalysis (EPS 216, GEOPHYS 236)

This course will introduce students to the theories and techniques involved in measuring and quantifying the chemical composition of solid materials using X-ray spectroscopy. The course will be largely focused on electron beam instruments including scanning and transmission electron microscopes (SEM-EDS and TEM-EDS) and Electron Probe Microanalyzer (EPMA-EDS; EPMA-WDS), with the laboratory component consisting of a combination of instrument training and data collection on multiple electron beam instruments, coupled with in-lab exercises covering the methods associated with the evaluation, processing, and presentation of X-ray data. Students will also learn to utilize multiple cutting-edge data quantitative spectroscopy software packages. The goal of this course is to provide graduate students with the tools required to make informed decisions when designing projects that involve understanding the composition(s) of solid materials at the nano- and micro-scales. Introduce students to the theory and technique behind determining the chemical composition of solid materials using X-ray spectroscopy. (CROSS-LISTED WITH EPS 216 and GEOPHYS 236)

MATSCI 256: Solar Cells, Fuel Cells, and Batteries: Materials for the Energy Solution

This course introduces students to emerging technological solutions to address the pressing energy demands of the world. It is motivated by discussions of the scale of global energy usage and requirements for possible solutions; however, the primary focus will be on the fundamental physics and chemistry of solar cells, fuel cells, and batteries from a materials science perspective. Students will learn about operating principles and performance, economic, and ethical considerations from the ideal device to the installed system. The promise of materials research for providing next generation solutions will be highlighted by guest speakers developing innovative energy technologies. Undergraduates register in 156 for 4 units; graduates register in 256 for 3 units. Prerequisites: Undergraduate coursework in thermodynamics (e.g., MATSCI 144, ME 30) and electromagnetism (e.g., PHYSICS 23/43).

MATSCI 299: Practical Training

Educational opportunities in high-technology research and development labs in industry. Qualified graduate students engage in internship work and integrate that work into their academic program. Following the internship, students complete a research report outlining their work activity, problems investigated, key results, and any follow-on projects they expect to perform. Student is responsible for arranging own employment. See department student services manager before enrolling.nn*If you do not see your faculty's name listed, please email msestudentservices@stanford.edu the faculty name and the quarter you plan to take the course.
