Cancer cells are known to take advantage of a mechanism called cell competition, a quality control system that ensures that our tissues are composed of healthy cells.

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 .

The Centre for Human Drug Research (CHDR) is about to open a new location in Twente. At this location, the Leiden-based drug research institute will work closely with the regional hospital Medisch Spectrum Twente (MST) and University of Twente's Technical Medical Centre (TechMed Centre).

We all read it in the news from time to time: our current healthcare system is under pressure. We face the challenges of an ageing population, more people living longer with chronic diseases and as a result we have to deal with rising costs and staff shortages.

By burying 36,000 tea bags and retrieving them three months later, researchers and citizen scientists worldwide gathered data on the decomposition of plant material in soil.

The performance and reliability of machines and devices reduce as they age. Currently, inaccurate degradation characterization leads to overand under-maintenance, both of which have dire consequences on society.

Crisis management in family businesses is strongly impacted by their unique goals, governance, and resources.

The Southern green shield bug is a major problem for food production. The insect loves tomatoes, cucumbers and bell peppers and is responsible for up to 40 percent of crop losses.

More than 40 million people worldwide are blind. Scientists are working to develop implants in the brain that will allow blind people to see a little, for example a pattern of a streetcar or a cyclist.

The ROCCS research cluster of ERMeCHS, the research institute of ESHCC, recently published a scientific paper on the 'Data leak' scandal during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management.

On the 21 of June, the Nanolab of the University of Twente opened a new state-of-the-art research facility.

Kiane de Kleijne examined not only the benefits of green hydrogen, but also the emissions associated with producing and transporting green hydrogen.

For the first time, kitesurfing is on the Olympic Games programme, with the Dutch Annelous Lammerts as one of the top participants.

Green hydrogen often, but certainly not always, leads to CO2 gains. This claim is based on research published in Nature Energy by Kiane de Kleijne from Radboud University and Eindhoven University of Technology.
