The Ikhana unmanned aircraft system has been used by NASA last year to fight wildfires from the sky and this month to provide images of current Californian wildfires to authorities (link to NASA ...

Fiber-optic sensors work well in tight spots and in applications with a high degree of electrical noise, but care must be taken when specifying these critical components. Sensing part presence in ...

A new sensing instrument that can now dissolve on its own inside the body could offer a host of opportunities for health professionals looking to monitor bodily processes in real time. Fiber Bragg ...

For the first time, researchers have fabricated sensing elements known as fiber Bragg gratings inside optical fibers designed to dissolve completely inside the body. For the first time, researchers ...

Over the past 60 years, fiber optic sensing (FOS) has been used to enhance and test the integrity, efficiency, safety, and durability of structures, vehicles, medical devices, and more across a ...

New technologies can often be intimidating to implement for a number of reasons, but one of the most common hurdles is a lack of understanding how the technology works or how it can be applied. Fiber ...

When most people think of fiber optics today, they typically associate it with high-speed internet services, such as Google Fiber; however, the technology itself is capable of much more than merely ...

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 ...

A new fiber-optic sensor made from stretchy rubber rather than glass can be integrated into wearable electronics and measure movement. The sensors can also quantify the force of stretching, bending, ...

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 ...

New US-based organization says it will focus on educating industry, government and the general public on the benefits of the technology. In the US, a dozen industry partners including Corning and ...
