Hybrid test dune to measure erosion during storms

Last week, a hundred-metre-long test dune rose on the coast near Monster. A hybrid dune, consisting of a combination of sand and hard elements. Researchers from TU Delft are monitoring how different configurations erode during stormy weather conditions. This will allow hybrid dyke-dune structures to be designed more efficiently and safely in the future.

TU Delft Wins Silver at QS Reimagine Education Awards – Two Years Running

Recognised for its innovative circular portfolio, TU Delft wins Silver at the QS Reimagine Education Awards, highlighting its global impact on lifelong learning and sustainable transformation

The Waal attracting increasingly more water: a tipping point of the Rhine system?

Historical observations and model computations point to the Rhine system having crossed a tipping point. Since extreme peak flows in the 1990s, the Waal has gradually attracted more water at the Pannerdense Kop bifurcation. This is shown in research by TU Delft, Leiden University, Utrecht University, and Rijkswaterstaat.

A new twist: the molecular machines that loop our chromosomes also twist DNA

Scientists from the Kavli Institute of Delft University of Technology and the IMP Vienna Biocenter discovered a new property of the molecular motors that shape our chromosomes. While six years ago they found that these so-called SMC motor proteins make long loops in our DNA, they now discovered that these motors also put significant twists into the loops that they form. These findings help us better understand the structure and function of our chromosomes. They also provide insight into how disruption of twisted DNA looping can affect health—for instance, in developmental diseases like ‘cohesinopathies’. The scientists published their findings in Science Advances.

AI Supports Proactive Human-Centred Care

Maaike Kleinsmann (Professor of Design for Digital Transformation) and Geert-Jan Houben (Pro Vice Rector Magnificus AI, Data and Digitalisation) discuss how AI can contribute to digital transformation in healthcare.

TU Delft team winner in Airbus-BMW Quantum Computing Challenge

The QAIMS team at TU Delft have won the Golden Application prize ‘pushing the boundaries of quantum tech for mobility’ in the prestigious Airbus-BMW Global Quantum Computing Challenge. Team leader Boyang Chen, Associate Professor from the Department of Aerospace Structures and Materials, accepted the award on behalf of the team in Silicon Valley today.

TU Delft Campus frontrunner in job growth

Campuses and science parks in the Netherlands are vital for fostering job creation and new business activities. Over the past 6.5 years, 22,000 new jobs have been created by 3,000 companies located on the 20 of the most prominent campuses and science parks in the country. South Holland leads this development, with Delft—a hub for South Holland’s startups—showcasing the highest growth in employment, according to a new research report by Buck Consultants International.

Tiny dancers: Scientists synchronise bacterial motion

Researchers at TU Delft have discovered that E. coli bacteria can synchronise their movements, creating order in seemingly random biological systems. By trapping individual bacteria in micro-engineered circular cavities and coupling these cavities through narrow channels, the team observed coordinated bacterial motion.

The Patient at the Center: A New Chair for Innovative Hand and Wrist Care

Hand and wrist complaints, often caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or RSI, affect one in three people in the Netherlands. These issues significantly impact the quality of life for patients, often leading to reduced work capacity and a complicated care pathway. To address these challenges, TU Delft, the Reinier de Graaf Hospital, and the Reinier Haga Orthopedic Center (RHOC) have established a new chair titled: “From Helping Hand to Working Hand – Patient-Specific, Patient-Centered Transition in Orthopedics.” Led by orthopedic surgeon and professor Gerald Kraan, the chair aims to improve the care pathway and develop innovations to enhance hand and wrist care.

Student Team ‘Da Vinci Satellite’ secures contract with ESA for CubeSat mission

TU Delft’s student team Da Vinci Satellite (DSV) has reached a significant milestone by signing a contract with the European Space Agency (ESA) for their upcoming CubeSat mission. As part of this agreement, DVS is now officially included in ESA’s ‘Fly Your Satellite!’ program. This collaboration propels the teams ambitious project to design, build, launch and operate a nanosatellite that directly connects school children with space.
