Universities do not really know what their patents are worth, a Groningen emeritus argued in the FD. TU Delft is a leader in patents, but what is the value?
He is probably the oldest PhD student at TU Delft ever. Hans van Duivendijk was 89 when he defended his PhD thesis on the ongoing battle against water on 17 June. As an engineer, he was able to use simple means to build complex water management systems in countries such as Bangladesh, Ghana and Nigeria.
Three hundred new Architecture students took part in the ‘Battle of Bricks’ on Friday. In groups, they built bridges using loose bricks. The longest bridge won, but did it set a record?
The Veni grant from research financier NWO is intended for recently graduated researchers. The stipend gives them three years to further develop their research ideas. They receive a grant of up to EUR 320,000 for their work. Last July, NWO announced the results of the 2023 applications. There were 1,308 applications of which 174 were
In a summery metaphor, QuTech presents new research results as jumps from one trampoline to the next. QuTech is TU Delft and TNO's institute for quantum computer development. In reality, the news is not about its athletic staff, but about spins read-more-closed read-more-open that jump from one quantum bit (qubit for short) to another. The
During the summer, many student teams attempt records with their self-developed technology. This year, they were Project March, Eco-Runner, Hyperloop and Hydromotion. Delta lists their achievements.
He designed the first computers in the Netherlands, co-wrote international programming standards, and worked the Algol computer language. Wim van der Poel, who died this summer, was a computer pioneer who laid the foundations for today's information age. He could no longer drive a car, began having trouble organising his thoughts, and could also no
Four years after his appointment as Policy Advisor on China at TU Delft, Peter Gill’s work has been included in the UNL guidelines for international cooperation. “Whether you like it or not, you cannot avoid China.”
Project groups of first-year mechanical engineering students were given 10 minutes to stack 25 crates using a machine they designed themselves. But in the finals, everyone finished much sooner.
Prof. Lieven Vandersypen, Quantum Professor and Scientific Director of QuTech, became a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) last May and he and his colleagues received EUR 35 million of research funding from NWO. Time for a talk about the limits of our knowledge and the prospects for the quantum computer.
