Dream Team ‘Space Oasis Delft’ has designed a lunar village for 150+ residents. The dwellings have elements of biomimicry, contain a self-sustaining biosphere and simulate a day-night cycle as well as seasons. Smart design choices safeguard not only the occupants' safety but also their mental well-being.

For the first time, kitesurfing is on the Olympic Games programme, with the Dutch Annelous Lammerts as one of the top participants. Using the Formula Kite, a hydrofoil under the kiteboard, Lammerts can reach speeds of over 70 km/h. This speed involves increased risks and aerodynamic challenges. Therefore TU Delft, in collaboration with TeamNL and textile innovation start-up WEEV Textiles, developed an advanced aerodynamic and cut-resistant suit.

David Abbink ontvangt dit jaar de NWO Stevinpremie. De Stevinpremie en de Spinozapremie zijn de hoogste Nederlandse onderscheidingen in de wetenschap. Ze worden jaarlijks uitgereikt aan vier mensen in totaal ‘voor hun uitmuntende, baanbrekende en inspirerende werk’, aldus NWO, die dit nieuws vandaag bekend maakt. Abbink ontvangt 1,5 miljoen euro te besteden aan wetenschappelijk onderzoek en kennisbenutting. Hij ontvangt de Stevinpremie met name voor de maatschappelijke impact van zijn onderzoek.

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.

TU Delft wants to be transparent about why the university collaborates with the defence industry.

The European Commission has awarded five Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) Staff Exchange 2023 grants to talented scientists from TU Delft. Staff Exchange, formerly known as Research and Innovation Staff Exchange, is a staff exchange program between countries and sectors to encourage the development of sustainable collaborative projects between different organizations, from both academic and non-academic sectors, based in and outside Europe.
