Wenye Ji, and his colleagues were able to create a centimeter-sized, low-weight terahertz spectrometer by taking advantage of metasurfaces.

They will use this to improve electron microscopes, a crucial technology for both quality control in manufacturing computer chips and health research.

Together with the MARS lab, Kaj Polman will be working on ultrasound modulation of relaxation times using piezoelectric and magnetic nanoparticles.

Anushka's MSc project focuses on the application of deep learning in acute ischemic stroke therapy and involves developing an algorithm for automatic detection of vessel occlusions on fluoroscopy imaging.

PhD Candidate Rick Waasdorp is looking for ways to correct the distortion caused by the skull when using Ultrasound technology. ‘’My goal is to develop an adaptive method for skull corrections that automatically measures the skull of new patients.’’

Gabrielle has won the technical Young Investigator Award at Euroson 2024 (congress of the European Federation of Ultrasound Societies in Medicine and Biology) with her presentation entitled: “Ultrasound imaging in bones: tissue characterization, anatomical images and blood flow measurements”.

Ilaria started her PhD program in the Renaud group about ultrasound imaging inside bones, contributing to the advancement of such non-invasive technique to characterize tissue composition and to quantify blood flow.

Delft University of Technology has unearthed six glass slides (1890 – 1910), which represent one of the earliest attempts at colour photography. The slides were found during an inventory conducted by the Programme Tailor-Made Approach to Faculty Collections at the Imaging Physics department of the Faculty of Applied Sciences. To view the images, technician Thim Zuidwijk reconstructed a diffraction chromoscope, revealing vivid depictions of a vase with a floral motif and a still life of a fruit basket alongside a banana and a wrapped citrus fruit.

Researchers at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), in close collaboration with SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research and LongWave Photonics LLC, have achieved a breakthrough in terahertz spectroscopy—a vital technology to study galaxies, stars, and planetary formation. They created a centimeter-sized, lightweight terahertz spectrometer that could replace traditional half-meter-sized, bulky, and heavy spectrometers in future space observatories. The new device could significantly reduce costs and offer greater flexibility in launching, making these space observatories more affordable and feasible. The innovation is published in Laser & Photonics Reviews.
