TU Delta’s science section brings you the latest ideas and results in engineering, science, and design from TU Delft. We might even report on your work.
At the faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences the geopolymer team is working on a new type of concrete which uses waste instead of cement. Why geopolymer concrete might just be the building material of the future.
Science buffs have been reading about the potential of graphene since its discovery in 2004. Truth be told, graphene is quite vulnerable. Ceramic boron-nitride is much tougher.
Professor of Chemical Catalysis, Dr Freek Kapteijn, specialises in catalysis and reactor design. His achievements have won him the Hoogewerff Fund Foundation’s gold medal, an oeuvre award that is granted every three to five years.
Vijftien onlangs gepromoveerde wetenschappers gaan met een Rubicon-beurs naar het buitenland om onderzoek te doen. Opnieuw vielen er meer vrouwen dan mannen in de prijzen.
Gas production in the Groningen gas field will be cut back by ten percent this autumn to reduce earthquakes. Does this mean that the worst troubles are over for the inhabitants?
Measuring seismicity in the earthquake prone province of Groningen with unprecedented resolution. This is what Kees Wapenaar is about to do, using part of a €2.5 million grant.
Scientists from TU Delft and AMOLF engineered an efficient and stable photoelectrode, a material that absorbs light and directly splits water into hydrogen and oxygen.
Fast curves and burning rubber. Master vehicle engineering student, Conno Kuyt, has developed the first step towards a computer controlled slip system inside cars.
