If you were afflicted with a balance disorder, would you rather use a walker or simply wear a backpack? Dutch scientists have developed a special version of the latter, which utilizes two gyroscopes to keep its wearer standing straight and stable.

Current-gen quantum computing "qubits" need to be kept incredibly cold – below 0.1 Kelvin (-273.05 °C/-459.5 °F). But new "hot qubits" developed at UNSW can work 15 times hotter, opening the door to radically smaller, cheaper quantum computers.

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.

Delft University's Nuon Solar Team has won the Challenger class of the World Solar Challenge. Its solar-powered Nuna 7 vehicle arrived in Adelaide at 10:03 a.m. on the morning of the fifth day of the event, crossing Australia from north coast to south in a total of a little over 33 hours.

Physicists at the Delft University of Technology, Netherlands, have detective the elusive Majorana fermion.

The Nuon Solar Team has revealed its lightest solar powered vehicle yet.

An experimental energy-saving streetlight system automatically dims the lights when no people or moving vehicles are in the area.
