From carpenter's eye to digital precisionOperating based on experience with the help of data that predicts the outcome - that is the ambition of the team of researchers developing the Twente foot model. A unique collaboration between ZGT, MST and the University of Twente (research groups BMPI and BDDP) that aims to give patients with severe foot deformities a new life.Read more
Synthetic Bacteria: From swarms to life-like materialsInspired by the collective dynamics of bacteria like E. coli and Bacillus subtilis, researchers at the University of Twente asked a simple but fundamental question: what happens when artificial swimmers are made rod-shaped rather than spherical, and how does shape control how they move as a group? "These dumb yet active rods follow only the laws of physics, which help to uncover the mechanics of collective bacterial behaviour," says Hanumantha Rao Vutukuri. Their findings appear on the cover of Science.Read more
