It is a familiar sight, cyclists zigzagging all over the road while texting or making phone calls. Fiddling with your phone while cycling is a recipe for disaster. Right?
Two Delft research teams simultaneously found ways to transform the quantum information of an electron spin to a photon. The techniques pave the way for more efficient data processing and the upscaling of quantum bits on silicon chips. The two articles appeared in Science on Thursday.
Global warming made the extreme rainfall of Hurricane Harvey, which hit Texas in August 2017, three times more likely and fifteen percent more intense than it could have been, scientists, one of whom from TU Delft, found.
Gravity makes no distinction between a planet, a human being or a blade of grass. Though this may not come as a surprise to you, theoretical physicists are over the moon with a new study that strengthens the foundation of this postulation.
Ridiculed by climate sceptics and misinterpreted by alarmists: crazy stories are rampant about Delft research on ocean bottom deformation that found … well, nothing very spectacular really.
What can we do to diminish carbon dioxide emission from the aviation industry? Researchers, including aerospace engineer ir Joris Melkert, are discussing this question this evening during the debate Het KennisCafé in Amsterdam.
