NEW HOMEPAGE

TU Delft and Erasmus MC focus on rapid and precise osteoarthritis diagnosis

Artrose raakt momenteel 1,5 miljoen Nederlanders en dit aantal kan in 2040 oplopen tot 2,5 miljoen. Een van de grootste uitdagingen bij deze gewrichtsaandoening is de late diagnose, wat leidt tot onjuiste of uitgestelde behandelingen en uiteindelijk zelfs tot de noodzaak van protheses. Ingenieurs van de TU Delft en artsen van het Erasmus MC werken samen aan een oplossing: een technologie die biomechanische analyses combineert met dynamische röntgenopnames.

Working Visit of the Dutch House of Representatives' VWS Committee to TU Delft

Op maandag 25 november bracht de Tweede Kamercommissie VWS een bezoek aan de TU Delft om te spreken over de uitdagingen en kansen binnen de zorg. De kernboodschap: de zorg staat onder grote druk en vraagt om actie, maar het succes van innovaties ligt niet in snelle technologische oplossingen. Een systemische aanpak is essentieel.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The European Research Council (ERC) has awarded its Consolidator Grants to four researchers of TU Delft. These European grants are aim to support outstanding scientists as they establish their independent research teams and develop their most promising scientific ideas. The funding, per grant of up to €2 million with a duration of five years, is provided through the EU’s Horizon Europe programme.
