![Researchers from TU Delft discover real Van Gogh using artificial intelligence](https://filelist.tudelft.nl/_processed_/2/9/csm_Zelfportret_1479c9070a.jpg)
What did Vincent van Gogh actually paint and draw? Paintings and drawings fade, so researchers from TU Delft are using deep learning to digitally reconstruct works of art and discover what they really looked like. ‘What we see today is not the painting or drawing as it originally was,’ says researcher Jan van der Lubbe.

![Brand new laboratory for research into sustainable electricity supply](https://filelist.tudelft.nl/_processed_/8/b/csm_ESP%20Lab_Kickoff_016f021a6e.jpg)
In order to achieve the climate targets, the Netherlands needs to generate much more electricity using the sun and wind. But is our electricity network even ready for that? Unfortunately not. In order to tackle this gigantic challenge, TU Delft is currently building a brand new laboratory: the Electrical Sustainable Powerlab, aka the ESP Lab.

Cable bacteria: Living electrical wires with record conductivity
![Cable bacteria: Living electrical wires with record conductivity](https://filelist.tudelft.nl/_processed_/d/9/csm_20180621_cables_100x_colorCAM_4_9fc2e9894b.png)
Bacteria that power themselves using electricity and are able to send electrical currents over long distances through highly conductive power lines. It almost sounds like the way we charge our TVs and refrigerators, and may seem hard to believe, but it is a recent discovery by a team of scientists from the University of Antwerp (Belgium), Delft University of Technology (Netherlands) and the University of Hasselt (Belgium). Centimeter-long bacteria from the seafloor contain a conductive fiber network that operates in comparable way to the copper wiring that we use to transport electricity. The highly conductive fibers enable a completely new interface between biology and electronics, providing a prospect for new materials and technology.
