Delft University of Technology shines light on atomic transistor
11-22-2006 · EurekAlert!Researchers from TU Delft and FOM Foundation have successfully measured transport through a single atom in a transistor. This research offers new insights into the behaviour of so-called dopant atoms in silicon. The researchers are able to measure and manipulate a single dopant atom in a realistic semi-conducting environment. The individual behaviour of dopant atoms is a stumbling block to the further miniaturisation of electronics. The work is published in Physical Review Letters.

- Oosight microscope enables embryonic stem cell breakthrough
11-29-2007 · EurekAlert!
A noninvasive, polarized light microscope invented at the Marine Biological Laboratory played a crucial role in the successful derivation of stem cells from cloned monkey embryos as reported in the Nov. 22 issue of Nature. Shoukhrat Mitalipov of Oregon Health & Science University and collaborators succeeded largely due to the Oosight microscope system developed by CRi Inc., based on technology invented by Rudolf Oldenbourg and others at the MBL in Woods Hole, Mass.

- Delft nano-detector very promising for remote cosmic realms
01-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
A miniscule but super-sensitive sensor can help solve the mysteries of outer space. Cosmic radiation, which contains the terahertz frequencies that the sensors detect, offers astronomers important new information about the birth of star systems and planets. Merlijn Hajenius developed these sensors for Delft University of Technology's Kavli Institute of Nanoscience, in cooperation with the SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research. He will receive his PhD degree on 19 January based on this research subject.

- Delft researchers unravel the working of the bicycle
09-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
For nearly 150 years, scientists have been baffled by the bicycle. How is it possible that a moving bicycle can, all by itself, be so stable? Researchers of the Delft University of Technology, working with colleagues from Cornell University and the University of Nottingham, UK, believe they have now found the ultimate model of the bicycle. The researchers discuss their findings in the new edition of Delft Outlook, the science magazine of TU Delft.

- Nano-microscopy reveals the collective transport of gold atoms in real-time
02-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers at Delft University of Technology used a High Resolution Electron Microscope to observe in real-time the collective transportation of gold atoms in a thin layer. This research illustrates the rapid progress that is currently being made by real-time nano-microscopy. Within 5 years this research area should be able to take the step from the laboratory to realistic conditions, and this will open up a wealth of possibilities for industry and the medical world.
