Bart van Trigt is researching how to reduce injuries among athletes, especially baseball and tennis players.

The corona pandemic has caused a shortage of protection equipment, especially face masks. TU Delft researchers and students are ramping up testing facilities in ProjectMask.

The location of a crime is usually very precisely mapped. A new digital measuring instrument prevents traces from being erased.

Last December, a ship with 95 women sailed to Antarctica. PhD student Andrea Mangel Raventos was one of them. What were her experiences and what will she bring back to Delft?

Experts from TU Delft are working with an international consortium on a new martensitic steel grade for automotive applications: QPInox steel. This is just as strong as all regular steels so far and - as the name says - "inox", so stainless. How this is possible, and what that means for recycling, says Professor Maria Santofimia Navarro.

If we want to keep healthcare affordable and accessible, then we really need technology. The introduction of this must then be done in a way that does justice to the values of patients.

Greening factories with sustainably generated electricity. If it is up to Ruud Kortlever, chemical factories will also run as much as possible on solar and wind energy in the future.

Will we end up being unemployed? On the contrary: Robot professor Pieter Jonker thinks that we are mainly improving.

Erasmus MC and TU Delft are working with a number of other institutions on the development of a wristband that, in combination with a smartphone app, helps patients recover at home after a stroke.

Amir Zadpoor is working on a solution called 4D printing. He explains how it works: "We first grow a flat layer of tissue from stem cells that can provide itself through diffusion. Only when the tissue has developed a vascular system do we fold it into a 3D structure. So you grow a flat object into a 3D structure for a certain time, hence "4D" in the name. "

Affordable surgical instruments could save many lives in Africa. Yet, there are still numerous obstacles that stand in the way of producing them. A CASE for change.

During Meet the Professor professors from TU Delft cycled to Delft primary schools to give a guest lesson. Delta took a lesson from teacher Jenny Dankelman.

What will the technology look like in the year 2020? Much has been said and written about this in recent years, from self-driving cars that dominate the street scene, to a network with internet-connected devices around us. What has come of those predictions?

TU Delft may credit ten million euros to the account. The sender is the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO). The amount is intended to support research into the large-scale storage of energy, one of the major challenges of our time. Professor of Energy Systems Paulien Herder of TU Delft is involved in this with her research team on a daily basis, within the specially designed RELEASE consortium.

Rene Pecnik of TU Delft receives an ERC Consolidator Grant of 2 million euros for systematic research at the intersection of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and radiation sciences. Pecnik wants to combine advanced hydrodynamic stability analysis with new multi-physics simulation tools and experiments with infrared thermography to identify and characterize new flow physics in the supercritical area.

Researchers at Delft University of Technology have combined two existing super-resolution microscopy techniques to create a new method.

Barry Fitzgerald investigates where the normal world and the world of superheroes intersect. It also brings him new scientific ideas.

Ships must also become increasingly sustainable, but you cannot build a ship without emissions in a day. In this broadcast we hear everything that comes with it.

Researchers from TU Delft and MIT have developed an algorithm that - to a certain extent - can predict whether drivers behave socially or antisocial.

Researchers from the Precision and Microsystems Engineering (PME) department of TU Delft have developed a scaling method that can be applied to any curved surface. This method has all kinds of potential applications, ranging from braces that can grow with children or stents for keeping blood vessels open to extendable furniture.

Interview Ruud Kortlever in Process Control

Self-driving cars are coming. But for all their fancy sensors and intricate data-crunching abilities, even the most cutting-edge cars lack something that (almost) every 16-year-old with a learner’s permit has: social awareness.

Scientists have created a super-compressible material that could eventually have your pocket sized bike unfold into a full-scale one.

Fiets van TU Delft maakt kans op prijs voor het meest veelbelovende technologische idee.

Assistant Professor Gerwin Smit of 3mE is developing a self-grasping prosthetic hand inspired by human anatomy.

The goal is to build a self-propelling mechanism that can continue its movement after a fall from table height, and then deliver a 'Golden Box'. Fall resistance is key.

Regarding the claim that autonomous sailing is more difficult in inland shipping than in shipping, Hekkenberg said that the challenges in both sectors are different. "At sea they are mainly in the engine room, in inland navigation more with navigation."

TU Delft and TNO launched the Dutch Ocean Technology Center (DOTC) on 6 June.

Extracting raw materials from the seabed is costly and potentially quite damaging to the marine environment. Wenbin Ma developed a framework to weigh up all the factors.

Geeske Langejans explains to NOS Nieuws en Co. the discovery in a cave of charred remnants of cooked starchy foods that are more than one hundred thousand years old. She explains what the archaeologists found and why the homo sapiens apparently were already well adapted to starch in prehistoric times.

The steer-assist system is the first system in the world that can keep a bicycle upright. ‘This system keeps the bike and its rider stable at speeds above 4 km/h,’ explains TU Delft researcher Dr Arend Schwab.
