Meet Lola, a Virtual Personal Assistant for Banking
We are very excited to publicly announce the Lola project, and the future of Virtual Personal Assistants for banking. This project, which we’ve been working on with BBVA for several years now, is the first application of what we see as the next generation of virtual personal assistant technology beyond Siri.

The Cell’s Fuel Sensor and Cancer
Imagine a pile of a bright white powder weighing about 120 kg—if you’re an average-sized, healthy adult, that powder represents the total amount of a fuel molecule called ATP that you use every day for routine activity; indeed, for life itself. Recent work in SRI’s Cancer Biology Program indicates that an enzyme that regulates ATP—the cell’s fuel…

SRI Licenses and Ventures: the Keys to Our Success
In the last 17 years, SRI has earned more than $200 million in gross royalty and equity value from our licensing and venture portfolio. We have started more than 50 ventures with four IPOs—with a total market capitalization that exceeds $29 billion, and with many successful private company exits, most notably, Siri. We are known for being an engine…

Scalable logic-addressed memory: printing integration of organic complementary logic and ferroelectric memory
In this work, we have demonstrated an inkjet-patterned 3-bit decoder for addressing ferroelectric memory capacitors.

The identification of recombination centers in organic solar cells
Recombination in bulk heterojunction organic solar cells is explored by observing the result of prolonged white light illumination and thermal annealing.

Co-extrusion printing for low cost and high performance energy devices
The method of co-extrusion of dissimilar materials has been developed at PARC, a Xerox Company, to successfully produce high aspect ratio structures for solar cell gridlines and battery electrode structures.

Interactions of rocks with supercritical CO2 and water in enhanced geothermal systems and beyond
As an alternative fluid, supercritical CO2 has been considered for its potential to yield up to 50% more electricity than water, mainly due its lower viscosity and greater ability to permeate the reservoir.

Improvement of silicon solar cell metallization with printed nickel nanoparticle ink
In this paper we will present two approaches for the frontside metallization of crystalline silicon solar cells, targettting on dramatically reducing the specific contact resistance between the metal gridline and the n+ emitter layer.

Acoustic power recovery system for thermoacoustic cooling
We present a thermoacoustic cooler design that utilizes acoustic power recovery to make a coefficient of performance (COP) comparable to that of conventional systems possible.
