Using a sophisticated combination of two optical research techniques, scientists can now examine thousands of DNA variations simultaneously. This means a huge acceleration in genetic and biological research.
Success stories and complex problems, along with music and dance, were the ingredients of the opening of an ‘honest and sustainable’ academic new year for TU Delft on 2 September.
How can you set up a reliable energy system on the road to 2050 whose sources – solar and wind power – are variable? The answer will probably be a combination of market design, grid arrangements and energy policy. But the question remains how to do this. This is also the subject of the extensive
Universities do not really know what their patents are worth, a Groningen emeritus argued in the FD. TU Delft is a leader in patents, but what is the value?
He is probably the oldest PhD student at TU Delft ever. Hans van Duivendijk was 89 when he defended his PhD thesis on the ongoing battle against water on 17 June. As an engineer, he was able to use simple means to build complex water management systems in countries such as Bangladesh, Ghana and Nigeria.
Three hundred new Architecture students took part in the ‘Battle of Bricks’ on Friday. In groups, they built bridges using loose bricks. The longest bridge won, but did it set a record?
The Veni grant from research financier NWO is intended for recently graduated researchers. The stipend gives them three years to further develop their research ideas. They receive a grant of up to EUR 320,000 for their work. Last July, NWO announced the results of the 2023 applications. There were 1,308 applications of which 174 were
In a summery metaphor, QuTech presents new research results as jumps from one trampoline to the next. QuTech is TU Delft and TNO's institute for quantum computer development. In reality, the news is not about its athletic staff, but about spins read-more-closed read-more-open that jump from one quantum bit (qubit for short) to another. The
During the summer, many student teams attempt records with their self-developed technology. This year, they were Project March, Eco-Runner, Hyperloop and Hydromotion. Delta lists their achievements.
He designed the first computers in the Netherlands, co-wrote international programming standards, and worked the Algol computer language. Wim van der Poel, who died this summer, was a computer pioneer who laid the foundations for today's information age. He could no longer drive a car, began having trouble organising his thoughts, and could also no
