Better solar panels, groundbreaking materials, and green fuels, but also darts to improve throwers precision, injury models, and wheelchair sports sensors: the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is also a hot hub for sports innovation. For a decade now,…
The German passenger car market has recovered in the last three months. In fact, more combustion vehicles — i.e., pure diesel and gasoline — have been sold again. According to the DAT Barometer (Deutsche Automobil Treuhand), the three-year slump in…
In our Sunday newsletter, we as editors look back at the past seven days. How university research improves Olympic athletes’ performance For a decade, the Sports Engineering Institute at Delft University of Technology has been helping athletes improve their performance…
As the world awaits the upcoming Olympic Games, it’s not just the athletes who are getting ready to showcase their peak performance. Innovative companies are also gearing up, bringing technology to the forefront to enhance sports and athletic performance. The…
Instead of focusing on the differences between local citizens and expats, the iBuilt initiative aims to highlight the common ground. “It’s the shared passion for technology”, says Ankita Durani. “Expats and locals have the same drive, which we will build…
University of Minnesota engineers developed a hardware device that could reduce energy consumption for artificial intelligence applications by a factor of at least 1,000. The technology, called computational random-access memory (CRAM), processes data entirely within memory, eliminating energy-intensive data transfers…
I’ve never counted myself in the athletic category. Here and there I played some volleyball, but not at a high level. It never bothered me that much, until a year ago. As I climbed the stairs, panting, with two grocery…
The Dutch Heart Foundation (Hartstichting) has granted over €3 million in Dekker grants to eight leading researchers supporting innovative studies on cardiovascular diseases. These grants aim to accelerate research and improve treatment options for the 650 daily hospital admissions and…
A new study by Lam Research can mark a turning point in the chip industry. Their Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) thin film deposition technique enables the production of complex multi-compound materials on wafers, surpassing conventional methods. With enhanced uniformity, particle…
International scientists developed a groundbreaking approach to cancer treatment using biodegradable nanoparticles called polymersomes. These tiny particles, designed to accumulate in the spleen, activate white blood cells to combat tumor cells more effectively. The international team’s research shows promise in…
