Researchers of Delft University of Technology, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and VSL have developed an alternative positioning system that is more robust and accurate than GPS, especially in urban settings. The working prototype that demonstrated this new mobile network infrastructure achieved an accuracy of 10 centimeter.

Dat wolken deel uitmaken van het dagelijkse weer, is zo alom bekend dat we ze als een bekend fenomeen beschouwen. Herman Russchenberg van de TU Delft doet onderzoek naar het ontstaan en gedrag van wolken, omdat we juist zo weinig erover weten en het wel van grote invloed is op het klimaat.

In front of the prestigious MAXXI Museum in Rome rises an artful structure that attracts attention with its unusual shape and bright blue colour. It is a collaboration between the Block Research Group of ETH Zürich and TU Delft. The pavilion is shaped with a unique knitting work Mariana Popescu created using an algorithm and a knitting machine. With this, she demonstrates that it is possible to make efficient structures with very little building material, which also reduces CO2 emissions. Hardly any formwork is needed, resulting in virtually no construction waste.

For the fourth time in a row, TU Delft ranks 21st in the Engineering & Technology rankings of the Times Higher Education Subject Rankings 2023 published today, 25 October. This is the most relevant category for a university of technology like TU Delft.

Promovendus Gaby Gründemann berekende de regenval in 2071-2100 voor vier toekomstscenario’s, variërend van een wereld waarin de bevolkingsgroei en de fossiele energiebehoefte blijven toenemen tot een wereld die zich focust op duurzaamheid en een dalende CO2-uitstoot. Hoe dan ook zullen zowel de meest zeldzame buien als de jaarlijkse extreme buien in elk scenario heviger worden.

What if we could capture CO2 from the atmosphere and permanently store it under the ground in the form of solid minerals? Applied Earth Sciences student Elara Redondo Garcia didn’t think twice when she had to opportunity to go to Iceland, where they are researching CO2 mineral trapping.
