New technology can detect cancer and potentially other disease biomarkers in urine

New technology lays groundwork for biosensors that improve disease diagnosis and monitoring For the first time, researchers have used a chip-based sensor with an integrated laser to detect very low levels of a cancer protein biomarker in a urine sample. The new technology is more sensitive than other designs and could lead to non-invasive and

A full-size superconducting generator could be the future for wind turbines

A superconducting rotor has been successfully tested on an active wind turbine for the first time. The EcoSwing consortium designed, developed, manufactured a full-size superconducting generator for a 3.6 megawatt wind turbine, and field-tested it in Thyborøn, Denmark. They report their results in the IOP Publishing journal Superconductor Science and Technology. Corresponding author Anne Bergen, from the University

The worlds of electronics and photonics are now connected on a chip

Electronics and light don’t go well together on a standard ‘CMOS’ chip. Researcher Satadal Dutta of the University of Twente succeeded in introducing a light connection into the heart of a semiconductor chip. In this way, two circuits can communicate. Or: the worlds of electronics and photonics are connected. What is particularly attractive about Dutta’s

World’s smallest and most accurate 3D printed biopsy robot

The Stormram 4, as the robot is named, is made from 3D-printed plastic and is driven by air pressure. The advantage of plastic is that the robot can be used in an MRI scanner. Carrying out a biopsy (removing a piece of tissue) during a breast cancer scan in an MRI significantly increases accuracy. The

RiceAtlas: a spatial public database that answers key questions like where, when and how much rice is grown globally

Rice is an important food source for a majority of the world population. Worldwide, on average around 60 kilograms of rice is consumed per year per person. Researchers from all over the world, including from the ITC Faculty of the University of Twente, have developed the RiceAtlas: a spatial database that answers key questions like

Full body sensing system for daily life performance monitoring

FROM NOW ON IT WILL BE POSSIBLE TO ACCURATELY MONITOR AND ANALYSE HOW STROKE PATIENTS MOVE DURING EVERYDAY LIFE. THIS INVOLVES THE USE OF A NEW SUIT FITTED WITH 41 SENSORS, PLUS THE INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDED TO TRANSMIT, STORE AND PROCESS ALL OF THE DATA COLLECTED. THIS TECHNOLOGY AND INFORMATION WILL MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO IMPROVE

The energy-autonomous robot comes closer

Future robots that continuously inspect our dykes, don’t come across an electrical charging station every few hours. Using a smart gear box for the robot, UT researcher Douwe Dresscher manages to drastically reduce the energy consumption. The energy-autonomous robot comes closer. Inspecting the condition of dykes and other sea defence structures is typically a task

First Steps Towards The Touch Robot

Simple system can recognize sixty percent of human touches A SQUEEZE IN THE ARM, A PAT ON THE SHOULDER, OR A SLAP IN THE FACE – TOUCH IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE SOCIAL INTERACTION BETWEEN PEOPLE. SOCIAL TOUCH, HOWEVER, IS A RELATIVELY UNKNOWN FIELD WHEN IT COMES TO ROBOTS, EVEN THOUGH ROBOTS OPERATE WITH

Robot doesn’t have to be human look-alike

THE R2-D2 ROBOT FROM STAR WARS DOESN’T COMMUNICATE IN HUMAN LANGUAGE BUT IS, NEVERTHELESS, CAPABLE OF SHOWING ITS INTENTIONS. FOR HUMAN-ROBOT INTERACTION, THE ROBOT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE A TRUE ‘HUMANOID’. PROVIDED THAT ITS SIGNALS ARE DESIGNED IN THE RIGHT WAY, UT RESEARCHER DAPHNE KARREMAN SAYS. A human being will only be capable of

Air lubrication for ships: friction can be reduced 20 percent, with a huge impact on fuel consumption

Injecting bubbles at a ship’s hull is an effective way of reducing drag, and fuel consumption of the ship. That is, if those bubbles have the right size. Researchers of the University of Twente show that the reduction is negligible when tiny bubbles are used. Large, deformable bubbles do the trick, the scientists conclude in

Brain-inspired multistate memory material stores more than just zeroes and ones

Our brain does not work like a typical computer memory storing just ones and zeroes: thanks to a much larger variation in memory states, it can calculate faster consuming less energy. Scientists of the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology of the University of Twente (The Netherlands) now developed a ferro-electric material with a memory function resembling

Robot caregivers safer with new position actuator technology

Robots carry out their tasks more safely if they are controlled by another technology. This makes them much more suitable for use in the care sector, as revealed by a study conducted at the Robotics and Mechatronics department at the University of Twente. On 2 June, researcher Stefan Groothuis was awarded his PhD for this work.
