Created by Austrian physicist Erwin Schrödinger in 1935, it presents an enigmatic scenario where a cat sitting in a sealed box can, if only for a brief moment, be both dead and alive at the same time.
A TU Delft researcher has designed an autonomous flap for smart wind turbines that functions as an add-on for load alleviation purposes.
Research done by TU Delft PhD candidate Mirjam Theelen has the potential to improve the stability and, subsequently, the cost and efficiency of Copper Indium Gallium Selenide (CIGS) solar cells.
Once upon a time, solar cells were cumbersome. They weren’t easy to build and their hefty weight meant they weren’t easy to install either. Fortunately, as everything from smartphones to laptops have become thinner and lighter over the past several decades, so have solar cells.
Imagine a world where someone with a serious health condition could step into a friend’s house and have their thermostat automatically adjust the temperature to a level that will help them feel comfortable.
Time is ticking away while TU students in Spain prepare their rocket for its jump to the edge of space at 50 kilometres altitude. The launch is scheduled for Wednesday October 14, 2015 at 10 AM.
Dieselgate is pas het begin van de problemen voor de auto-industrie, betoogde hoogleraar Michiel Makkee vorige week in De Telegraaf.
