Rapid adoption is fueled by large-scale infrastructure projects, such as the Trans Mountain Expansion Project in Canada, and diversified applications in energy, transportation, and civil monitoring.

(a) Schematic illustration of the HW-TSC. The optical fiber was helically wound around a continuous mandrel to function as an acoustic sensor. (b) Photograph of the HW-TSC and the anechoic tank. One ...

Distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) systems represent cutting-edge technology in infrastructure monitoring, capable of detecting minute vibrations along fiber optic cables spanning tens of kilometers.

The same fiber optic networks that provide internet can simultaneously act as earthquake sensors, as demonstrated in a new study. In California, thousands of miles of fiber optic cables crisscross 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 ...
