Visualising internal stresses in solid polymers using colour-changing Spiropyrans

Visualising internal stresses in solid polymers using colour-changing Spiropyrans

Spiropyrans are chemicals that change colour when you shine light on them – a useful property in many areas of medicine and technology. Now Georgy Filonenko and his colleague, Richard Janissen at the Faculty of Applied Science have discovered a new use for these so-called photochromic molecules - visualising stresses in solid polymers. Their research is published in the ‘Journal of the American Chemical Society.’

Can robots invent tools like our ancient ancestors did?

Can robots invent tools like our ancient ancestors did?

How did ancient humans learn to make tools? And can we apply that knowledge to help AI-based robots learn creative skills? Carlos Hernandez Corbato and Geeske Langejans are heading up the TU Delft part of the multi-national METATOOL project, which is a unique combination of archaeology, neuroscience and robotics.

Materiaalkundigen slaan handen ineen in strijd tegen corrosie

Materiaalkundigen slaan handen ineen in strijd tegen corrosie

Nieuwe manieren vinden om metaaloppervlakken te beschermen tegen corrosie. Dit is het doel van corrosie-onderzoekers Peyman Taheri, Yaiza Gonzalez-Garcia en professor Arjan Mol van de Afdeling Materials Science and Engineering. Samen met 11 partners uit 7 verschillende landen bundelen zij hun krachten om de ontwikkeling en productie van corrosie werende coating technologieën te verduurzamen en te versnellen.
