Stanford has also been rated as one of the most famous universities by many magazines. According to the Princeton Review 20 10 and 20 13, Stanford is the "dream school" with the largest number of parents and students in the United States. According to the Gallup poll published in 2003, it is also the second most prestigious institution in the eyes of the American public. In 20 12, Forbes, an American business magazine, praised Stanford University as "a leading university because of its achievements in Silicon Valley and leading the development of world economy and scientific and technological products". The New York Times and Slate magazine even mentioned Stanford's status and reputation as "the symbol of American universities". Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple, visited the Stanford graduation ceremony as a guest in 2005, and delivered a speech on the topic of "thirst for knowledge, modesty and stupidity", rarely mentioning personal life and encouraging graduates. The disciplines of Stanford University are in a leading position in the world, especially in the fields of statistics and operational research, electrical engineering, computer science, medicine, business, social science and so on.

The number of articles published by Stanford University in Nature and Science is1/kloc-respectively. 20 10 scientists from Stanford University and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) found that crude oil interferes with the heart cells of fish, which slows down the beating speed of the heart, reduces myocardial contractility and leads to arrhythmia, and can lead to cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death. Related articles were published in the February 20 14 issue of Science. In 20 1 1 year, researchers at Stanford University developed a new single-cell PCR microfluidic technology, and used this technology to analyze the single-cell gene expression of hundreds of colon cancer cells, thus obtaining the heterogeneity map of human colon cancer. Related research results were published in the journal Nature Biotechnology.
1962 SLAC has made great discoveries in elementary particle physics, which make people have a deep understanding of the basic composition of matter. The 426-acre facility includes a two-mile linear accelerator operated by the Energy Department of American University. About 65,438+0,300 employees and three physicists from Stanford University-burton richter, richard taylor and martin perl-won the Nobel Prize for their contributions.
1998 In August, when scientists introduced two beams of light, positive and negative electrons, from opposite directions through the underground ring, the most important asymmetric B factory attached to SLAC began to operate. Scientists use this factory to reveal the subtle differences between the physical laws of matter and antimatter. This discovery can help explain why the universe contains far more matter than antimatter.
