NWO grant for developing multi-purpose flat optical components

More and better optics with less. That is the ambition of the AWAVE consortium, led by TU Delft. The researchers will develop a flat optical component that might replace all curved optical components, such as lenses, in the future. This flat component should also be easy to recycle and contain fewer harmful substances.

New 3D co-culture model to study the effect of proton therapy on aggressive brain cancer

Researchers at TU Delft designed novel 3D-engineered scaffolds inspired by the geometry of the brain microvasculature. The micro-structures were co-cultured with both glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer, and endothelial cells, the building blocks of blood vessels. This model enabled researchers to study the effect of proton therapy on glioblastoma and uncovered a possible protective role of endothelial cells on cancer cells.

Team Epoch, een studenten Dream Team van de TU Delft, de trotse winnaar van de Computable Award 2023 voor Sustainable Tech. Team Epoch ontving de award naar aanleiding van hun prestatie in de Artificial Intelligence (AI) Bio-massters-competitie, waarin het team een AI-model ontwikkelde dat de hoeveelheid biomassa in een bosgebied in Finland kan voorspellen.
