Over the last six months, master’s students in biomechanical engineering have developed various biomedical prototypes. Their designs should alleviate occurring problems in medical practice. Students presented their prototypes during the MedTechWest event on June 11, 2015.

The Mauritshuis unveils the restored painting Saul and David by Rembrandt this month. TU Delft paint expert Professor Joris Dik (3mE) helped unravelling the history of this canvas.

Sometimes a swarm of small satellites works better than a big one. The future in remote sensing could well be in tiny, affordable cooperating satellites. TU Delft hosts a conference on formation flying satellites from June 8-10, 2015.

Generating energy by flying kites is the Calimero of wind energy. The upcoming conference AWEC-2015 (15-16 June) is a line-up of exciting new ideas and technologies.

The TU patented a new cheap base material for semi-organic perovskite solar cells. “This is going to be consequential.”
The new material has an impossible name (EDOT-OMeTPA) but it carries the promise of cheap printable solar cells of just 0,2 microns thick with an efficiency of 11 percent.

Delta bericht regelmatig over innovatieve ideeën. Maar wat is daar een paar jaar later van terechtgekomen? Hoe staat het bijvoorbeeld met de Superbus van wijlen L&R-hoogleraar prof.dr. Wubbo Ockels?

Als het gaat om de organisatie van patiënteninformatie, verkeren veel Nederlandse ziekenhuizen in erbarmelijke staat. Verschillende patiëntendatasystemen zijn zelden (goed) gekoppeld en overzicht ontbreekt. Dat kan en moet heel anders, stelt industrieel ontwerper Tino de Bruijn.

In April, the Industrial Design Engineering (IDE) department used a Polyjetting 3D printer to print a human clavicle.
This manufactured human clavicle is now in Erasmus MC, Rotterdam where trauma surgeon Professor Verhofstadt will use it to prepare for surgery.
