Soil-packed floors common in rural, low-income households in developing countries are breeding grounds for intestinal diseases. Stanford epidemiologists and engineers are developing a lower-emission concrete flooring that could improve families’ well-being with less environmental impact.

Rob Jackson’s new book illustrates clean energy transition challenges and success around the world.

Stanford researchers are working to reveal secrets of a massive, intricate underground fungal network. The resulting knowledge could help scientists engineer fungi-plant interactions to store large amounts of carbon underground and break down toxins, such as plastics and pesticides, among other advances.
