TU Delft researchers developed many new technologies used today, including [[Glare (material)|GLARE]], a [[Fibre Metal Laminate|fibre metal laminate]] used in [[Airbus A380]] [[Skin (aircraft)|skin]] and Vision in Product Design design method. [[Cees Dekker]]'s lab at TU Delft demonstrated in 1998 the first [[transistor]] made out of single [[Carbon nanotube|nanotube molecule]]. The [[Delta Works]] plan was, in part, a child of TU Delft graduates, including [[Johan Ringers]] and Victor de Blocq van Kuffeler. TU Delft was a precursor of the [[Open design]] concept.

In architecture, TU Delft is famous for [[Traditionalist School (architecture)|Traditionalist School]] in Dutch architecture. TU Delft was a home to many prominent [[microbiologist]]s including [[Martinus Beijerinck]], who in 1898 discovered viruses while working at TU Delft, and [[Albert Kluyver]], father of comparative microbiology, which resulted in the creation of so-called Delft School of Microbiology.

Some recent projects being developed at the university include:
