Team ZED heeft de Dutch 4TU Impact Challenge gewonnen en gaat naar de World Expo in Dubai.

Just like the roads that provide access to them and the dikes that protect them, cloud datacentres have become an essential part of our national, and worldwide, infrastructure. Thanks to capacity planning research by TU Delft master’s student Georgios Andreadis, these datacentres may continue to meet the ever-growing computational demands while reducing their operational costs and increasing their efficiency and environmental sustainability.

Delftse materiaalwetenschappers hebben ontdekt dat de energieopbrengst uit warmte efficiënter kan, door aanpassingen te doen in de nanostructuur van het thermo-elektrische materiaal. Hun artikel is onlangs gepubliceerd in Nano Energy.

Artificial intelligence offers high potential solutions to the climate crisis, but evidence suggests that AI systems and cloud computing will need to clean up their own energy bills. Roel Dobbe, AI researcher, explains that in the AI field, there is a dominant but false belief that “bigger is better”, and that assumption drives the use of increased computation and bigger data sets in the development of AI models. As AI relies on more computational power, its carbon footprint increases.

Onderzoekers van de TU Delft ontwikkelden samen met de Koninklijke Marine en de Kustwacht Nederland een waterstofdrone die verticaal kan opstijgen en landen, en urenlang horizontaal als een vliegtuig kan vliegen op waterstof.
