Fuel cells for zero-emission shipping
The International Maritime Organisation wants to halve greenhouse emissions by 2050. That’s not good enough for Lindert van Biert. He aims for zero-emission shipping using fuel cells and green energy carriers.
Creating a fossil-free chemical industry in a clean way? It can be done!
Next to transport and direct power generation, a large percentage of fossil fuels and fossil raw materials are used in the chemical industry – in the production of plastics and fertilizer, for example. The energy transition therefore is just as much a raw materials transition, one in which electrochemical processes play a crucial role.
Wheelchair owner and companion next to each other thanks to wheelchair attachment
A standard wheelchair is pushed, but if you walk behind it as an attendant, it’s sometimes difficult to keep contact with the person sitting in it, even though it’s a necessity. There’s probably a technical solution to this kind of problem, but then the right people have to know about it.
Delft research unravels mystery of motion of cilia
The cilia – tiny hairs – inside our body are important to our health. They help move fluids, such as phlegm from our lungs. Eduardo Gutiérrez Prieto, a master’s student in Mechanical Engineering in the Faculty of 3mE at TU Delft, explains through his research how cilia acquire their motion and how multiple of them can synchronize. This insight could lead to the more effective treatment of various illnesses. For example the treatment of smoker’s cough or other diseases of the respiratory system.
The third dimension in tissue culture
After two life-changing moves, Angelo Accardo is now exactly where he wants to be. He is developing engineered nanoscaffolds, in which human tissue can grow as in nature. It opens up a world of applications for neural disease modelling.
Shelf-stocking robot working independently
A robot that helps store employees by moving independently through the supermarket and shelving products in their proper place. According to researcher Carlos Hernández Corbato of the Department of Cognitive Robotics, this may be possible in the future. But the robot must be able to adapt to the dynamic and challenging conditions in a supermarket.
Obstacles no problem for smart robots
Robots that safely navigate busy corridors to deliver medicines to nurses. And drones that manoeuvre around people, rubbish bins and poles without smashing things up. This is possible thanks to the mod-els developed by researcher Javier Alonso-Mora from the 3mE faculty.
