On show for the very first time at the Venice Biennale, BK BOOTHS presents 10 of the latest architectural research and design projects by students and designers at TU Delft’s Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment.The theme of the Biennale, which is on show now until 25 November, is FREESPACE. Delta highlighted several projects on show.
When all other drugs fail, Carbapenems can still save lives. This family of antibiotics is often used for the treatment of multidrug-resistant bacterial infections. They are extremely expensive, but now Delft researchers have developed a cheap and green alternative.
Fluctuations in renewable energy surplus could become a problem in the future. Researchers and industry are looking for ways to stockpile surplus so we can use it when demand peaks. Maybe the battolyser could be a solution.
Video streams from drones, sensors, on-ship cameras, augmented and virtual reality and computer graphics technology. By making sailing regattas more high tech, the Sailing Innovation Centre, in collaboration with TU Delft researchers, are striving to help athletes perform better and, at the same time, make the sport more appealing to a larger audience.
Can we get 100% of our energy from renewable sources? Delft Professor of Energy Systems Analysis Kornelis Blok is in the middle of a big scientific argument raging right now.
Large sand nourishment’s along the coast can endanger swimmers, TU Delft researcher Dr Max Radermacher found during his PhD research. He developed a method to gauge the safety of hydraulically pumped sand beaches in advance and adapt the designs accordingly.
Travelling by plane will become much faster. Not because the planes will get faster, but because the hassle of boarding and the queuing time at check-in and security will become less. At least that is the promise of a large project called PASSME, which is being led by TU Delft.
Delft researchers at QuTech generated quantum entanglement between two quantum chips faster than the entanglement was lost. This means that a major hurdle in developing a useful quantum network has been cleared.
More than one in three elderly patients in the UK suffer “medication-related harm” after being discharged from hospital, a new study suggests. One of the authors is Prof. Tischa van der Cammen of the Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering.
