A route to scalable Majorana qubits

A route to scalable Majorana qubits

Researchers at QuTech have found a way to make Majorana particles in a two-dimensional plane. This was achieved by creating devices that exploit the combined material properties of superconductors and semiconductors. The inherent flexibility of this new 2D platform should allow one to perform experiments with Majoranas that were previously inaccessible. The results are published in Nature.

Occupation of TU Delft building ends with eviction

Occupation of TU Delft building ends with eviction

At around 20.30 on Monday evening, the police ended the occupation of the Mechanical Engineering building by around 30 protesters who refused to leave the building voluntarily at closing time. Earlier in the day, the demonstrators were made aware of the closing time and possible consequences, and given the option to continue demonstrating outside. This was not heeded. The camp, which has been set up between the auditorium and the library since last Thursday, has not been removed. The demonstration will continue there, as long as it is peaceful and respectful.

Remote sensing research reveals pre-collapse monitoring of Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine

Remote sensing research reveals pre-collapse monitoring of Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine

New findings from a spaceborne monitoring team of University of Houston, TU Delft and DLR indicates the collapse of the Kakhovka Dam in Ukraine may have been already ongoing before the war with Russia, with deformations in the dam pre-dating the actual collapse. The results were published in the journal Nature Communications Earth and Environment this month.
