Congratulations to Cosimo Della Santina for receiving an #ERCStG! 🎉 The aim of his research project is to have soft robots interacting with their environment via multiple complex large-area contact, similar to how an elephant wraps its trunk around a branch🐘 👉edu.nl/m487v

Exploring better ways to optimize urban logistics, Bilge Küçük Atasoy envisions a more efficient, sustainable, and user-centric transport system by coordinating road and water networks. 🔗 Read more here: edu.nl/8d86d

🚲There’s very little data on how cyclists respond to each other in traffic. Yet this data is essential for creating more realistic traffic models. Anna Marbus wants to change that by causing near collisions with cyclists. 🔗 Read more here: edu.nl/h7yfg

This month marks 160 years since nine students followed the very first classes of the Mechanical Engineering and Shipbuilding program in Delft! Check out some historical highlights of the past 160 years in the online timeline: edu.nl/ug7kr

Researchers at TU Delft have developed DNA nanopores that can selectively transport molecules across cell membranes! 🧬 First of its kind, with 3 adjustable diameters, opening new paths for drug delivery, biosensing & synthetic biology. More info 👉 edu.nl/eutgy

1.5M people in NL suffer from osteoarthritis, rising to 2.5M by 2040. Engineers from TU Delft & doctors from @erasmusmc are combining biomechanical analysis with dynamic X-rays to detect it earlier, helping patients live pain-free longer. 🔗More here: edu.nl/7h9rh

🔬🎉 Exciting news: Sabina Caneva has been awarded a VIDI grant! Her work will develop a platform to study molecular processes at the single-molecule level using 2D materials & DNA nanotech. This could lead to new biosensors for detecting tumor DNA 👇 edu.nl/gkpw6

A team of TU Delft bachelor students has developed a model to better predict molecular properties of long alkanes—essential for renewable fuel research♻️ Their expanded approach enhances accuracy and is already benefiting ongoing research. Learn more 👉 edu.nl/eqjex

🚗 TU Delft researchers have developed a new model to make self-driving cars drive more socially! The model better captures human behaviour when merging into motorway traffic. Read more 👉 edu.nl/uagb6

Wiebren de Jong and his team are transforming the way we think about CO₂. Instead of viewing it as a byproduct, they’re researching innovative ways to capture CO₂ and convert it into useful products, like sustainable fuels and chemicals ♻ Read more👉 edu.nl/3ejg8

How can machine optimisation transform logistics? On Nov 15, TU Delft Prof. Dingena Schott will share insights into boosting the efficiency of material transport and processing—especially with granular materials like iron ore and coal. 📖 Learn more: edu.nl/9h98v

🌍 Fertilizer production causes nearly 1.5% of global CO₂ emissions. Ruud Kortlever and Boaz Izelaar of TU Delft have conducted the most comprehensive review of alternative, sustainable ammonia methods to date. Read more 👉 edu.nl/8xnk9

TU Delft researchers have developed a catheter with variable friction technology, promising smooth navigation & stable precision during blood vessel procedures. 🩸👩‍⚕️ 🔗 Learn more: edu.nl/dewt9

🎉Amos Yusuf, Mick Dam, and Bas Brouwer have won the Mekel Prize 2024 for the best extra scientific activity at TU Delft: the development of an initiative that brings master students into the classroom teaching sciences to the younger generations. 👉 edu.nl/pra7p

🌍 Greener port calls on the horizon! 🚢 The PortCall Zero project, led by Frederik Schulte from TU Delft, will tackle CO₂ emissions in ports with AI and electric shore power🔋 They received a grant from 4 million euros from NWO Funding. Learn more 👉 edu.nl/ayuyx

🎵 Tiny dancers: Bacteria in sync! 🦠 TU Delft researchers discovered E. coli can synchronise movements, creating order in chaos. This finding could lead to advances in drug screening & biological networks. Learn more 👉 edu.nl/ktwug

🔍 How do we grip slippery objects? TU Delft's new device uses ultrasonic vibrations to study how our grip adapts to friction changes. This could lead to better stroke rehab tools and smarter robots! 🤖🖐 Read more 👉 edu.nl/web3r

There is plenty of unused space in delivery vans and there are many alternatives to those streets, such as the adjacent canal, which was once used to transport goods. ‘We can do much better than this,’ says Bilge Atasoy 👉edu.nl/cb48j

When the time comes for autonomous cars to hit the roads, they’ll have to take other road users into account. Laura Ferranti is studying how this can be best achieved. Even when roads are packed with traffic. 👉edu.nl/vhd8b

🚲 Crisscrossing cyclists weaving through streets are a major challenge for self-driving cars. Holger Caesar is teaching autonomous cars to ‘see’ cyclists and predict their behaviour. To do this, he needs a lot of data, which he collects the ‘Dutch way’ 👉 edu.nl/9r8gn
