Shortcuts to anchors or staff-pages

One of the options to add to your site-tree is a so-called shortcut. Basically, it creates a link to another site in your navigation. However, these shortcuts had two specific shortcomings: it was impossible to link directly to an anchor on the target page and it was impossible to link directly to a staff-page.

Both issues have been resolved by adding two dedicated shortcut modes.

In content element mode, fill in the field as follows: pageid#elementid

In staff mode, simply add the webidentifier.

Styling options for filters

Our facet filters (on search pages and/or overviews) are generally displayed as checkboxes. With this release you can also have them configured as buttons, in a few different styles (rounded buttons, square buttons, ghost-style buttons etc.).

Please contact your local content manager to adjust the styling of these filters.

Additional pull classes

TU Delft's webpages consist of specific fields with their own proporties such as the header field, the footer and ofcourse the main column. This leads to the main column having a maximum width for displaying content.

However, a popular request has been to utilize the entire screen width when using the full width template, especially for highlighting items.

So by changing a grid layout, you can now create wider colored grids and/or position content over the entire screen width.

We've also had a few changes made to the 'Narrow content' setting, so be sure to try that out as well.

A rudimentary quantum network link between Dutch cities

An international research team led by QuTech has demonstrated a network connection between quantum processors over metropolitan distances. Their result marks a key advance from early research networks in the lab towards a future quantum internet. The team developed fully independently operating nodes and integrated these with deployed optical internet fibre, enabling a 25 km quantum link. The researchers published their findings in Science Advances.

Large meltwater accumulation revealed inside Greenland Ice Sheet

A new study published in Nature unveils a surprising discovery: a substantial amount of meltwater is temporarily stored within the Greenland Ice Sheet during summer months. For the first time, an international group of researchers was able to quantify meltwater with positioning data. The finding challenges current models of how ice sheets contribute to global sea level rise.

Delft scientists discover how innate immunity envelops bacteria

The protein GBP1 is a vital component of our body’s natural defence against pathogens. This substance fights against bacteria and parasites by enveloping them in a protein coat, but how the substance manages to do this has remained unknown until now. Researchers from Delft University of Technology have now unravelled how this protein operates. This new knowledge, published in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, could aid in the development of medications and therapies for individuals with weakened immune systems.

New 3D Printing Technique by TU Delft and MIT

Researchers at Delft University of Technology and MIT have developed a novel 3D printing technique called Speed-Modulated Ironing, enabling high-resolution surface textures and colour gradients using just a single material. By using one nozzle to 3D print and the second nozzle to re-heat printed areas at varying speeds, the team controls colour and texture of temperature-responsive materials. The work is presented at the ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology (UIST).
