To get to the touristy Chinese island of Hainan from the mainland, you have to cross the 30 kilometre wide and 120 metre deep Qiongzhou Strait, which is not for the faint-hearted. The area is prone to strong typhoons. An underwater tunnel could be the answer, Delft researchers believe.
From an evolutionary perspective, it is like discovering a new class of mammals. TU Delft researchers found an entirely new class of archaea in a salty Siberian lake. They christened this micro-organism Methanonatronarchaeia.

The first sewers were built thousands of years ago. You might think we know all there is to know about water purification by now. But you couldn’t be more wrong, said Merle de Kreuk, Professor of Environmental Technology during her inaugural address on May 23rd.
A simple potassium solution could boost the efficiency of next-generation solar cells. Or so say researchers at the University of Cambridge and TU Delft.
The creation of an ‘internet of cyber plants’ that will combat food shortages and result in more insight in regional weather patterns and pollution. These are the goals of a research programme that is about to start and in which TU Delft has a leading role.
Man-made earthquakes in Oklahoma (USA) are strongly linked to the depth at which waste water from the oil and gas industry is injected into the ground, according to a recent study published in Science. One of the authors is Delft risk researcher and philosopher Roger Cooke of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science.
With colleagues from France and Japan, Dr Remco Hartkamp of the Department of Process & Energy, developed a new method to analyse blood using a nanotransistor. The work was published in Nature Materials this month.
A new study uncovers evidence that diatoms collectively respond to harsh conditions with bursts of electrical activity, somewhat like glioma cells in the brain do.
