Roderik Lindenbergh & Mieke Kuschnerus laser scan data set of Kijkduin

Nature Portfolio’s Scientific Data Journal published an article written by Sander Vos, Katharina Anders, Mieke Kuschnerus, Roderik Lindenbergh, Bernhard Höfle, Stefan Aarninkhof and Sierd de Vries, that describes a 6 month long hourly laser scan survey of the beach-dune system at Kijkduin, The Netherlands. The Netherlands is protected by about 250 kilometers of natural beach-dune systems and understanding the natural variability and resilience is of key importance to protect the Netherlands with the future climate change and sea level rise. The dataset provides information about storm responses and shoreward sand transport which is important for the resilience determination.

A navigation system with 10 centimetres accuracy

A navigation system with 10 centimetres accuracy

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.

Herman Russchenberg doet onderzoek naar wolken: ‘Ze zijn van grote invloed op ons klimaat’

Herman Russchenberg doet onderzoek naar wolken: ‘Ze zijn van grote invloed op ons klimaat’

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.

Emission saving construction thanks to 3D-knitting

Emission saving construction thanks to 3D-knitting

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.
