In de zesjaarlijkse evaluatie van onderzoeksgroepen en wetenschappelijke instituten krijgt goed personeelsbeleid voortaan meer aandacht, net als open science. Cijferlijstjes verdwijnen uit de beoordeling. Dat melden universiteitenvereniging VSNU, onderzoeksfinancier NWO en wetenschapsgenootschap KNAW. De nieuwe spelregels gelden vanaf 2021 voor de volgende periode van zes jaar. Recente discussies over de beoordeling van wetenschappers en problemen…
Iedere dag geeft het RIVM een update van het aantal geregistreerde coronabesmettingen in Nederland, en het aantal dodelijke slachtoffers. Maar hoe is het verloop daarvan? Tot nu toe stijgt het aantal onverminderd. Wie een wereldwijd overzicht wil, kan terecht bij het coronadashboard van de Johns Hopkins University. (JW)
Het WK schaatsen voor studenten is donderdag afgebroken vanwege de verscherpte maatregelen tegen verspreiding van het coronavirus. De organisatie had vooraf al van enkele landen afmeldingen, maar vond het nu niet meer verantwoord om door te gaan. De afgelopen dagen hebben de twee deelnemende Delftse studenten drie bronzen medailles gewonnen. Allrounder Jeroen Janissen eindigde zowel op de…
A petition to make mandatory courses at TU Delft optional due to the coronavirus outbreak has been signed over 1050 times. The petition, initiated by the anonymous account TUDelft Student aims to give students the option to work from home. A precaution that TU Delft, as of last week, only advises students and employees with respiratory…

(Photo: TU Delft) The dream of transparant solar cells and power-generating windows has come a bit closer. Such dye-sentised solar cells contain a layer of titanium dioxide or ‘titania’. Current production of this material requires high temperatures and advanced vacuum technology. Not anymore. Members of Dr Duncan McMilland’s bio catalysis group (Applied Sciences) have found…

In its annual list of the 10 most promising technological advances that could lead to breakthroughs that will truly change how we live and work, the journal MIT Technological Review puts QUTech’s quantum internet at number one. “An internet based on quantum physics will soon enable inherently secure communication”, the journal writes about this TU…

Vigorous mixing of a solution containing micro particles of graphite may produce graphene, a material with remarkable electrical, mechanical, optical and thermal properties. Researchers from TU Delft and Queen Mary University of London have now published an article based on a simulation of the process. They calculated the molecular dynamics which determine whether layers of…
