By using optical fiber, the scientists can gather, track, and analyze data in much greater depth from the thousands of daily aftershocks. To do this, the scientists […]

This technique is often used to monitor structures including bridges and gas pipelines. Now researchers at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale De Lausanne (EPFL) have discovered a new method where optical fibers can identify when they are in contact with a liquid or […]
