Ceramic armour has reduced the number of firearm casualties in war zones by some 50%. A new mathematical model shows how ceramic tiles stop bullets.
Students are preparing to celebrate VSV Leonardo da Vinci’s 75th anniversary this year with a monument in space. Building will start after the corona crisis.
Iedere dag geeft het RIVM een update van het aantal geregistreerde coronabesmettingen in Nederland, en het aantal dodelijke slachtoffers. Maar hoe is het verloop daarvan? Tot nu toe stijgt het aantal onverminderd. Wie een wereldwijd overzicht wil, kan terecht bij het coronadashboard van de Johns Hopkins University. (JW)
(Photo: TU Delft) The dream of transparant solar cells and power-generating windows has come a bit closer. Such dye-sentised solar cells contain a layer of titanium dioxide or ‘titania’. Current production of this material requires high temperatures and advanced vacuum technology. Not anymore. Members of Dr Duncan McMilland’s bio catalysis group (Applied Sciences) have found…

Vigorous mixing of a solution containing micro particles of graphite may produce graphene, a material with remarkable electrical, mechanical, optical and thermal properties. Researchers from TU Delft and Queen Mary University of London have now published an article based on a simulation of the process. They calculated the molecular dynamics which determine whether layers of…

TU Delft now has a Developers Student Club (DSC) supported by Google. Their first activity, a symposium on machine learning open to all, was postponed due to corona.
The same policies that made electric vehicles popular, such as private charging stations and free parking spaces, are jeopardising further growth in electric transport.
The DNA inside a cell’s nucleus is sometimes described as a bunch of spaghetti. But there must be more to it. There has to be a hidden order. How else can a cell can organise the ‘spaghetti’ in neatly packed chromosomes before dividing itself? We know that the protein ‘condensin’ plays an important…
