Vidi grant for sixteen leading TU Delft researchers

NWO has awarded 149 researchers a Vidi grant. Sixteen 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.

How climate change affects working in a marine environment

Satellite data can refine risk assessments and improve safety for critical infrastructure. A new method, published in Nature Communications, reveals that one-third fewer bridges are classified as high-risk when spaceborne monitoring availability is integrated into risk assessments. This enables infrastructure authorities to make better-informed maintenance decisions. It is also a great benefit in regions, such as Africa and Oceania, where on-site sensors are nearly absent.

TU Delft and Haskoning Accelerate Innovation in Water Technology and Climate-Resilient Delta Regions

On 30 September 2025, engineering and consultancy firm Haskoning, TU Delft, and the Delft University Fund signed a framework agreement to enable research into water technology and climate-resilient delta regions, supported financially by the Haskoning Innovation & Education Fund.

Five Dutch projects for Driving Urban Transitions (2024) have been launched

Within the third round of the Call for Proposals for ‘Driving Urban Transitions to a sustainable future (DUT)’, NWO has awarded a total of 11 Dutch projects on themes related to energy, mobility and the circular economy. Five of these projects have been awarded to TU Delft scientists.

Small chip, grand mission: searching for signs of extraterrestrial life

Is life possible – or has it ever been possible – on other planets? The (Origin of) Life Marker Chip (LMCOOL) seeks the answer. This innovative chip is being developed by a Dutch consortium led by Dr Niels Ligterink of TU Delft, with funding from the NSO Instruments Programme.

Artist impression, based on actual measurement data, of the nuclear spin of an atom flipping between distinct quantum states.

Quantum researchers observe real-time switching of the magnet in the heart of a single atom

Researchers from Delft University of Technology in The Netherlands have been able to see the magnetic nucleus of an atom switch back and forth in real time. They read out the nuclear ‘spin’ via the electrons in the same atom through the needle of a scanning tunneling microscope. To their surprise, the spin remained stable for several seconds, offering prospects for enhanced control of the magnetic nucleus. The research, published in Nature Communications, is a step forward for quantum sensing at the atomic scale.
