Loops, Flags and Tension in DNA
Chromosomes are organized into loops that regulate genetic information processing, and these loops are extruded by SMC protein complexes like condensin and cohesin. The DNA-binding…

Associate professor Mazhar Ali and his research group at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) have discovered one-way superconductivity without magnetic fields, something that was…
Have you ever wondered if bacteria make distinctive sounds? If we could listen to bacteria, we would be able to know whether they are alive…
“Until now researchers have encoded and stabilized. We now show that we can compute as well.” Researchers at QuTech—a collaboration between the TU Delft and…
A team of researchers from TU Delft managed to design one of the world’s most precise microchip sensors; the device can function at room temperature…
Atomically thin van der Waals magnets are widely seen as the ultimately compact media for future magnetic data storage and fast data processing. Controlling the…
How materials behave depends on the interactions between countless atoms. You could see this as a giant group chat in which atoms are continuously exchanging…
A team of researchers from QuTech in the Netherlands reports realization of the first multi-node quantum network, connecting three quantum processors. In addition, they achieved…
A microscope used by Antoni van Leeuwenhoek to conduct pioneering research contains a surprisingly ordinary lens, as new research by Rijksmuseum Boerhaave Leiden and TU…
The heart of any computer, its central processing unit, is built using semiconductor technology, which is capable of putting billions of transistors onto a single…
The Delft University of Technology student start-up Loop has developed a living coffin made from mycelium. The Living Cocoon helps the body to ‘compost’ more…
Scientists in Delft have developed a technique for selectively separating microparticles in a liquid on the basis of their shape. The technique calculates precisely the…
Phase transitions play an important role in materials. However, in two-dimensional materials, the most famous of which is graphene, phase transitions can be very difficult…
