Assessing the health of the world's long-span bridges from space

Satellite data can refine risk assessments and improve safety for critical infrastructure. A new method, published in Nature Communications, reveals that one-third fewer bridges are classified as high-risk when spaceborne monitoring availability is integrated into risk assessments. This enables infrastructure authorities to make better-informed maintenance decisions. It is also a great benefit in regions, such as Africa and Oceania, where on-site sensors are nearly absent.

TU Delft and Haskoning Accelerate Innovation in Water Technology and Climate-Resilient Delta Regions

On 30 September 2025, engineering and consultancy firm Haskoning, TU Delft, and the Delft University Fund signed a framework agreement to enable research into water technology and climate-resilient delta regions, supported financially by the Haskoning Innovation & Education Fund.

Five Dutch projects for Driving Urban Transitions (2024) have been launched

Within the third round of the Call for Proposals for ‘Driving Urban Transitions to a sustainable future (DUT)’, NWO has awarded a total of 11 Dutch projects on themes related to energy, mobility and the circular economy. Five of these projects have been awarded to TU Delft scientists.

Small chip, grand mission: searching for signs of extraterrestrial life

Is life possible – or has it ever been possible – on other planets? The (Origin of) Life Marker Chip (LMCOOL) seeks the answer. This innovative chip is being developed by a Dutch consortium led by Dr Niels Ligterink of TU Delft, with funding from the NSO Instruments Programme.

Quantum researchers observe real-time switching of the magnet in the heart of a single atom

Researchers from Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands have been able to see the magnetic nucleus of an atom switch back and forth in real time. They read out the nuclear ‘spin’ via the electrons in the same atom through the needle of a scanning tunneling microscope. To their surprise, the spin remained stable for several seconds, offering prospects for enhanced control of the magnetic nucleus. The research, published in Nature Communications, is a step forward for quantum sensing at the atomic scale.

Innovative backpack enhances stability for patients with ataxia

An innovative backpack is helping people with the movement disorder ataxia to stand and walk more steadily, reducing their reliance on mobility aids such as walking frames. This is reported by researchers from TU Delft, RWTH Aachen University, Radboud university medical center, and Erasmus MC in the scientific journal npj Robotics.

Amsterdam Canal Parade: “First and very successful time for the TU Delft”

Last Saturday, TU Delft proudly took part in the world-famous Canal Parade in Amsterdam for the first time in its history. This participation was made possible thanks to the tireless efforts of students and staff, the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, the Diversity & Inclusion Office, the TrueU network, and Outsite.
