Statement

Mangroves that can protect coastlines worldwide

High waves startle mangroves for days during an experiment at the Delta wave flume in Delft. Researchers from Deltares and TU Delft keep increasing the force on the trees. They test how strong the mangrove trees are under extreme wave conditions and what contribution they make to water safety.

Professor Nitesh Bharosa appointed crown member of the SER

The Council of Ministers has appointed Nitesh Bharosa of TU Delft as crown member of the Social and Economic Council (SER). Bharosa will advise the government, mainly on the theme of digitalisation. The appointment is valid for the period from April 1, 2024, to March 31, 2026.

TU Delft and VDL ETG T&D research contactless wafer handling for better chip production

Every time the robotic arm picks up a wafer for placement in the chip machine, very small particles are generated which are harmful for the chip production process. The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering from TU Delft is working on new generation wafer handlers that can handle wafers without particle generation.

New Mangrove Living Lab result from collaboration with TU Delft

In Vietnam, the newly established Mangrove Living Lab has been put into operation. Here, ideas for restoring mangrove forests to protect the Mekong Delta from water are being tested. Today Minister Mark Harbers of Infrastructure and Water Management visited the lab, which is a result of years of cooperation in education and research between TU Delft and Thuy Loi University in Hanoi.

Salt marshes put to test in wave flume

Can salt marshes serve as a natural solution for flood protection? Researchers of the project ‘Living Dikes’ transported 62 big blocks of salt marshes, containing soil and vegetation, from the coast of Friesland to the Delta Flume at Deltares. After four weeks of exposure to extreme waves, almost the entire salt marsh is still standing there.
