While it's important for seniors to stay active, their decreased sense of balance does increase their risk of being in a bicycle accident. The Netherlands' Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) is attempting to address that situation, with a steering-assist-equipped e-bike.

For 13 years now, a Dutch research team has been building autonomous flying robots inspired by the humble fruit fly. Now, with the DelFly Nimble, they've achieved their closest mimic yet, with an incredibly agile fly-bot capable of multi-axis hovering and even turning flips.

In a quantum network, information is passed instantly between nodes that have been entangled, and are unhackable since any unauthorized observation of the data will scramble it. Delft scientists have now overcome a hurdle to that technology, by generating quantum links faster than they deteriorate.

Could renewable sources meet 100 percent of our energy demand? Yes, according to new research which scrutinises the arguments against. “There are no roadblocks on the way to a 100-percent renewable future,” the research finds.

Engineers from Delft University of Technology have this week unveiled Europe's first test track for the Hyperloop transport system. Located on campus, the facility will allow the team to test out their system at low speeds as they eye a full-scale route between two cities in the coming years.

Scheduled for December this year, DroneClash is a drone dogfighting event organized by Delft University that pits pilots against one another not to be the first across a finish line, but to take down as many drones as possible in the name of safety.

Over the past year, teams of engineers from universities around the world have been designing and building their visions of Hyperloop pods that would carry passengers and cargo at high speeds, and this past weekend, they were finally put to the test on a track near SpaceX's Californian headquarters.

Scientists have discovered a way to warp graphene membranes to control the color that they display, raising the possibility of using these "mechanical pixels" to add some color to the e-reader mix.

The latest entrant to the VTOL drone arena comes from researchers at the Delft University of Technology, whose delftAcopter relies on a helicopter propellor to be lifted off the ground and then soars like a plane once in the air.

A new supercar can hit 100 km/h (62 mph) from a standstill in under four seconds and reach top speed of 210 km/h (130 mph). Not too impressive when compared to other supercars today, but the Forze VII runs on hydrogen and produces no harmful tailpipe emissions, making it pretty super after all.

Scientists at the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience at the Delft University of Technology (TUDelft) have developed a memory technology that achieves the ultimate physical limit by using individual atoms to represent a single bit of data.

Last year, Amazon kicked off its inaugural Picking Challenge to encourage teams to create robots able to perform the task of an Amazon stock picker. This year’s competition added a second type of challenge – and a Dutch team has claimed victories in both.
