A new method to improve semiconductor fiber optics may lead to a material structure that might one day revolutionize the global transmission of data, according to an interdisciplinary team of ...

One of the biggest challenges for earthquake early warning systems (EEW) is the lack of seismic stations located offshore of heavily populated coastlines, where some of the world's most seismically ...

Time for a quick pop quiz. Where does the NEC provide all of its requirements for wiring methods? If you answered Chapter 3, you are almost correct. When installing ...

In my previous column (see “Editor's Picks,” at right), I discussed transverse flexural testing of a unidirectional composite as one method of evaluating the strength of the fiber/matrix interfacial ...

German Research Center for Geosciences reports on how existing data cables can pick up seismic signals. Fiber-optic cables can be used to detect earthquakes and other ground movements. Fiber-optic ...
