Scientists have demonstrated a new fiber-optic sensing method that detects strain and displacement by reading interference patterns directly in the electrical spectrum of a photodetected signal. The ...

Pipeline contents are typically valuable, volatile, and harmful to the environment if allowed to escape. With them being susceptible to aging, accidental damage, or tampering, the chances of an escape ...

New sensing method: Japanese scientists demonstrated a fiber-optic strain sensor that reads interference patterns in the electrical spectrum instead of using optical analyzers. Why it matters: The ...

Researchers have developed a new optical sensor that provides a simple way to achieve real-time detection of extremely low levels of arsenic in water. Researchers have developed a new optical sensor ...

Distributed fiber-optic sensors are widely used to monitor temperature and strain in infrastructure, but their spatial resolution has long been limited. In a new study, researchers from Shibaura ...

The recent development in the utilization of flexible optical fiber sensors and the prospective application scenarios were then summarized, which encompass human activity monitoring and healthcare, ...

Grid-enhanced technologies (GETs) are designed to upgrade aging power infrastructure quickly and cost-effectively, avoiding the need for new transmission lines. Advanced conductors utilize improved ...
