Sensing part presence in machines, in fixtures, and on conveyors is an important component of industrial automation. Error-proofing assembly and controlling sequence based on presence or absence of a ...
The global network of seafloor cables may be good for more than ferrying digital communication between continents. These fiber-optic cables could also serve as underwater earthquake detectors, ...
A team of researchers from the U.K., Italy and Malta has found a way to use fiber-optic cables already on the ocean floor as seismic detectors. In their paper published in the journal Science, the ...
Each hair-thin glass fiber in a buried fiber optic cable contains tiny internal flaws—and that's a good thing for scientists looking for new ways to collect seismic data in places from a busy urban ...
Celeste Labedz heard a sound like thunder roll across the ice. She was standing on Alaska’s Taku Glacier, a vast field of snow-smothered ice between towering mountains, when the icequake began: a ...
The architecture and application of the ESOT FiSensor for multimodal physical signal sensing and transmission. (a) The signal-sensing processand application scenarios of the multimodal ESOT FiSensor. ...
Once a month or so, I have the privilege of sitting down with Editor-in-Chief Elliot Williams to record the Hackaday Podcast. It’s a lot of fun spending a couple of hours geeking out together, and we ...
Fibre-optic cables are good for speedy downloads – and for detecting earthquakes. Nathaniel Lindsey at the University of California, Berkeley, and his colleagues temporarily turned 20 kilometres of ...
