Heb je geen psychologische voortgangsgesprekken voor nodig. De app van computer scientist Uditha Ravindra werkt net zo goed.

Waving nano-robots and molecular gearboxes that assemble themselves from a solution.
PhD candidate Tim Baart developed a single-electron register that leaves the spin state of the electron undisturbed. “I’ve got a hunch this might get very useful.”

Chances are you have heard of the Ocean Cleanup. The TEDxDelft talk has over 2 million views on Youtube. The campaign crowdfunded over 2 million US Dollars.

DelFly, TU Delft’s home grown micro air vehicle (MAV), could avoid colliding with obstacles to successfully complete a circuit around a room in December 2013.

A full-scale model of a brick house was pushed to pieces in the Stevin laboratory last month. It was the interim climax of a research program into the vulnerability of brick houses to earthquakes.

Nobody likes taking detours. Nor do our brains. The different parts of our brain communicate with each other via synapses that together form the shortest routes. Normally, that is. Jil Meier found that in patients with multiple sclerosis, the brains take the long way around.

The Ocean Cleanup, founded by former TU Delft student Boyan Slat , announced that it will be deploying a 100 meter-long barrier segment in the North Sea.

By flying longer distances we can reduce the climate impact of aviation, according to visiting Professor Volker Grewe. Exactly how so he will investigate with TU Delft colleagues starting from March.

You know that feeling you get when you are riding a roller-coaster, or watching a really good horror movie? The emotions experienced during these activities are what recent TU Delft Industrial Design Engineering PhD graduate Steven Fokkinga calls ‘rich’ emotional experiences, and they were the focus of his thesis for which he received his PhD cum laude.
