Polymers are everywhere in modern life, from cars to mobile phones, but their ubiquity comes at a steep cost.

A power grid that is becoming ever more overloaded, melting glaciers threatening our freshwater supply, and an increasing demand for resources like lithium, uranium, and cobalt.

TU Delft is expanding its space research capabilities with the launch of four new and upgraded Space Engineering laboratories.

Today, Nele Albers defends her doctoral dissertation on using AI coaches to help smokers quit smoking and vaping.

Glaciers are melting around the world. Last decade, the loss of ice in the more populated regions, such as Europe, increased at ever-faster rates.

Key cells in the brain, neurons, form networks by exchanging signals, enabling the brain to learn and adapt at incredible speed.

Healthcare faces an enormous challenge: how can we make healthcare both more efficient and human-centred? Because of ageing populations and increasing demand for personalised care, pressure is being put on existing systems.

Hand and wrist complaints, often caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or RSI, affect one in three people in the Netherlands.

Since 2020, Delft Bioengineering Institute (BEI) organizes a cross-campus call for interdisciplinary research projects in the field of bioengineering.

The processing and transport of materials can be made much more efficient, says TU Delft professor Dingena Schott in her inaugural address, -Advancing Transport and Processing: from Model to Impact-.

Delft University of Technology has unearthed six glass slides (1890 - 1910), which represent one of the earliest attempts at colour photography.

Scientists at TU Delft have developed a new model that better describes human behaviour when merging into motorway traffic.

A group of TU Delft bachelor students has developed, as part of the studentsminor in Computational Science and Engineering, a new model that accurately predicts the molecular properties of alkanes.

NWO has awarded 102 researchers a Vidi grant in total 86,7 million euros. Eight promising TU Delft researchers from the domains Exact and Natural Sciences (ENS), Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) and Applied and Technical Sciences (ATS) have been awarded.

Over the past few years, a team of scientists and technicians from the TU Delft Reactor Institute have been working on a large-scale upgrade and modernisation of the Delft reactor.

The Delft Female Impact Community once again brought together its powerful network at the annual alumnae event on 10 October 2024 at TU Delft.

Out of the eight projects that competed to become NASA's Probe mission, only two remain. The Probe far-Infrared Mission for Astrophysics (PRIMA) and the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXiS) have been selected for the second round.

The Dutch Research Council (NWO) has awarded thirteen young TU Delft researchers from the Science (ENW) and Applied and Engineering Sciences (TTW) domains, a Veni grant of up to 320,000 euro.

TU Delft is committed to supporting the energy transition and seeks to collaborate with partners who endorse this mission.

A team of researchers at TU Delft are the first in the world to apply quantum computing to solve an old riddle in the design of fibre-reinforced composite materials: how to determine the optimal sequence of angles at which the material's layers are composed and stacked. This layering determines the mechanical properties of the material, essential for the application of composites for lightweight aircraft, wind turbine blades, cars or even batteries, etc.

This week, the Education Inspectorate shared its findings on TU Delft's social safety improvement plan: the Plan for Change .
