Researchers of Delft University of Technology, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and VSL have developed an alternative positioning system that is more robust and accurate than GPS, especially in urban settings. The working prototype that demonstrated this new mobile network infrastructure achieved an accuracy of 10 centimeter.

Dat wolken deel uitmaken van het dagelijkse weer, is zo alom bekend dat we ze als een bekend fenomeen beschouwen. Herman Russchenberg van de TU Delft doet onderzoek naar het ontstaan en gedrag van wolken, omdat we juist zo weinig erover weten en het wel van grote invloed is op het klimaat.

In front of the prestigious MAXXI Museum in Rome rises an artful structure that attracts attention with its unusual shape and bright blue colour. It is a collaboration between the Block Research Group of ETH Zürich and TU Delft. The pavilion is shaped with a unique knitting work Mariana Popescu created using an algorithm and a knitting machine. With this, she demonstrates that it is possible to make efficient structures with very little building material, which also reduces CO2 emissions. Hardly any formwork is needed, resulting in virtually no construction waste.
