Aircraft emit nitrogen oxides and other emissions during both the LTO-phase (taxiing, take-off and landing) and when flying at high altitudes. These emissions return to the ground, resulting in nitrogen deposited over land and water bodies. Using an atmospheric model, researchers at TU Delft have quantified - for the first time - that in 2019 aviation was responsible for just under 1.2% of total global nitrogen deposition from all sources.

A smart alternative to the traditional sandbag and an experiment with clay to learn more about strengthening dikes. These are two examples of TU Delft research that is currently being exhibited as art at the Rijksmuseum.

The European Research Council has awarded an ERC Advanced Grant to Chiara Bisagni, Full Professor of Aerospace Structures and Computational Mechanics at the faculty of Aerospace Engineering TU Delft.

Everyone who works on the development of batteries in the Netherlands, small companies, multinationals and knowledge institutes, has joined together in the BatteryNL consortium to develop the next generation of batteries within eight years based on a better understanding of material interfaces. Prof. M. (Marnix) Wagemaker (TU Delft - Faculty of Applied Sciences) is the project leader of a €9.3 million project funded by NWO-ORC.

Without innovation ecosystems such as TU Delft Campus the Dutch economy would be smaller and less resilient, says the British research agency BiGGAR Economics.

TU Delft University of Technology, Gdańsk University of Technology and ETH Zurich join the ENHANCE Alliance on its journey towards a European University.

Physicists from the Gröblacher lab at TU Delft have built a device that can link different quantum devices and qubits to each other. This marks the first time that scientists are able to store as many qubits as they’d like within a very compact area on this type of chip.

Today, at the TU Delft Best Graduate Award Ceremony 2022, eight recently graduated engineers presented their research and results of their excellent master thesis. Ir. Saskia van Heumen, graduate of the Faculty of Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering (3mE), received the prestigious title TU Delft Best Graduate 2022. For her graduation research, Saskia developed a method to accurately image lymphatic vessels in patients.

The European Research Council (ERC) has announced the ERC Starting Grants for young researchers. Four of them are scientists from TU Delft. This European grant of €1.5 million for a five-year programme is intended to enable individual scientists to build their own teams and conduct groundbreaking research.

TU Delft Resilience professor Tina Comes played a central role in advising the EU on how to improve its role in transboundary crises. Today she handed over the synthesis of the scientific evidence on crisis management to two European Commissioners and the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
