The hexapod is a unique testing facility for the dynamic testing of structures. Professor Mirek Kaminski, who invented the machine four years ago, proudly demonstrated the 60 ton monster to the press.
Some species of fungi are known for having thousands of different mating types, making the sex life of humans pale by comparison. Delft researchers have shed light on their complex genetic make-up.
One of the largest wastages on earth needn’t be wasted at all. Sewage sludge is often disposed of in landfills, even though it contains tons of valuable phosphate. Scientists have now found a way to extract this plant fertiliser ingredient from the putrescent slurry.
Metal disks glued on glass can often replace bolted supports in glass façades, as recent TU Delft research shows. So what’s holding back the application of glued glass constructions?
Do cities work for or against their citizens? Urban specialist, Dr Gabriela Rendón, studied that question in New York City and in ‘The Randstad Holland’, and she arrived at two different outcomes.
Minister van Engelshoven (OCW) deelde donderdag 12 april in Utrecht tien certificaten uit voor de bouw en vernieuwing van wetenschappelijke onderzoeksfaciliteiten. Prof. Herman Russchenberg ontving er een voor de realisatie van het Ruisdael Observatorium.
Flying a small airplane through wind gusts can feel somewhat like being in a rollercoaster. Especially when flying through the wake of a wind turbine. TU researcher, Carmine Varriale, calculated how far away you should keep from these structures.
Steering a hydrofoil is much like riding a bicycle, or so TU Delft students demonstrate with their mathematical model that predicts the roll and yaw of these boats.
Historically, abscesses were believed to be identical and simply ‘big bags of pus’. But TU Delft researcher Raf Van de Plas and American colleagues showed that abscesses can have totally different molecular environments. Their work paves the way to new drug targets.
