Het LettUs Design Team van de TU Delft heeft een winnend modulair concept voor stadslandbouw ontwikkeld dat kan worden afgestemd op de behoeften van een wijk met slechte toegang tot gezonde voeding, goed onderwijs en het daaruit voortvloeiende gebrek aan economische kansen. Met hun ontwerp won het team de eerste prijs van de Urban Greenhouse Design Challenge.

Researchers in the Netherlands investigated the potential for integrating power electronics in solar cells in the form of diodes, transistors, capacitors, and inductors. They believe that this kind of PV cell may initially find applications in PV-powered Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices and later, as the economy of scale kicks in, in large-scale applications.

On 25 June, the Child Brain Lab celebrated its official opening with a symposium at Erasmus MC. During the event, Assistant Professor Mathieu Gielen presented student work from his Play Well Lab. Their work, alongside his own and that of other design researchers, will play an important role in the type of experience that children with neurological pathologies have when they visit the Sophia’s Children Hospital in Rotterdam.

Addressing the complex challenges of today and tomorrow requires many actors, perspectives and disciplines. But forming effective and mutually beneficial collaborations can be challenging. Designing with Delft aims to facilitate this process, bringing researchers and educators from the university together with innovators from organisations to identify common goals, define a shared vision and develop concrete plans for collaborations.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could achieve structural optimality and visual appeal at the same time? Well, the recent work of IDE researchers Jun Wu, Paul Hekkert, and DfI master’s students Shannon Loos, Sytze van der Wolk, and Nina de Graaf demonstrates that it is possible. To find out how, be sure to click the link below and read their paper, “Towards intentional aesthetics within topology optimization by applying the principle of unity-in-variety”, which was published last week in the journal of Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization.

Het nieuwe House of AI, Mondai, heeft donderdag officieel de deuren geopend op de TU Delft Campus. In Mondai zullen wetenschap, onderwijs en innovatie op het gebied van AI samenkomen aan de hand van een programmering van lezingen, workshops, hackathons en andere events voor studenten, alumni, wetenschappers, professionals en geïnteresseerd publiek.
