Universities do not really know what their patents are worth, a Groningen emeritus argued in the FD. TU Delft is a leader in patents, but what is the value?

Together, we build a safer working environment at TU Delft. Each month, we reflect on the previous month: what actions were taken as part of the Plan for Change, and we look ahead to the upcoming month: what's on the agenda.

The European Research Council (ERC) has announced the ERC Starting Grants for young researchers. Five of them are scientists from TU Delft. This European grant of €1.5 million for a five-year research programme is intended to enable individual scientists to build their own teams and conduct groundbreaking research.

Studying how single DNA molecules behave helps us to better understand genetic disorders and design better drugs. Until now however, examining DNA molecules one-by-one was a slow process. Biophysicists from Delft University of Technology and Leiden University developed a technique that speeds up screening of individual DNA molecules at least a thousand times.

Researchers at QuTech developed somersaulting spin qubits for universal quantum logic. This achievement may enable efficient control of large semiconductor qubit arrays. The research group published their demonstration of hopping spins in Nature Communications and their work on somersaulting spins in Science.

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.

KNWU and AGU recently presented the new, innovative cycling jersey for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris. TU Delft, together with NOC*NSF and Sportconfex, collaborated on the design, with a specific focus on aerodynamics.
