Strange discovery made this week, we will probably hear more about it. It started with the doors. Every year towards the end of the summer, the doors of the AW lab get stuck. This year again. Nobody
If humans manage to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius, sea level rise will remain relatively limited in the coming centuries. Adaptations are likely to be possible along most coasts. But
Heat is often a residual product. Heat from furnaces, factories and the heat that the Earth’s surface radiates into space at night is largely lost. This may change thanks to tiny antennas that
It’s not really polite. Delft physicists, unsolicited, overheard a ‘conversation’ between two titanium atoms. They looked at magnetic information that the atoms exchanged. “Atoms are constantly
“This was not a storm,” says climate researcher Peter Siegmund of the KNMI about the extreme rainfall in South Limburg. Showers are local. In this case, the rain fell profusely on Tuesday and
Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson’s recent spaceflights shine a spotlight on the commercial space industry. This is developing at a rapid pace. However, there is a lack of appropriate space law to
Time can fly. I noticed it when I moved the past few weeks. Another day gone by, and so many boxes to pack! I would rather have seen the time fly by during a trip to mountain huts in the French Alps
Greenhouse gases have already warmed the earth 1.5 degrees Celsius! You didn’t hear about it last week, when the report of the IPCC, the United Nations’ climate panel, was presented. But it is indeed
Thanks to free-flying albatrosses with special sensors on their backs, geophysicists from TU Delft and KNMI have measured the full spectrum of infrasound above the ocean. This helps KNMI to monitor
A color portrait of Isaac Newton printed with transparent ink. Chinese scientists created the image by printing tiny light-reflecting spheres of various sizes onto a piece of glass. They used a
Geert Jan van Oldenborgh wanted to spend his “time here as usefully as possible”, he said in an interview with this newspaper last July. Scientifically, that usefulness for him lay at the
Exactly how much will the sea level off the Dutch coast rise? Are we really getting more summer downpours for sure? And what about droughts?
