Stanford University chemical engineer and materials scientist Zhenan Bao
Stanford University's Zhenan Bao takes on research challenges that she knows are many years away from reaching the general public: new and inexpensive solar cells, ultra-sensitive explosives detectors, sensors that can detect something as light as a fly landing on them and flexible sensor "skin" that could one day be wrapped around prosthetic limbs.
