The art and science of cyclingCycling usually seems self-evident, but did you know that it is in fact a continuous balancing act on an extremely wobbly thing? Bicycle professor dr. Arend Schwab (TU Delft) has a bicycle lab in which he studies the mechanics and dynamics of cycling. He will explain that, when driving a bike, you’re constantly almost falling. Your handlebars are crucial in preventing this. What forces are acting on your bike while riding straight ahead and what happens when you take a turn?

In cooperation with KIVI Students Twente, Newton, Arago and cycling association Klein Verzet, which celebrates its 55th anniversary.Read more
Neutrino - poet among particles / Science Cafe EnschedeNeutrinos go right through everything and are therefore difficult to detect.

A gigantic vat of pure water with 11,000 detectors. Filmmakers Hannie van den Bergh and Jan van den Berg filmed Super-K and spoke to scientists and villagers.
