In Mexico the development and implementation of alternative energies is being given in a very leisurely way, being that the country has the best conditions for the development of several of them, among which are the solar and wind energy, in which it could grow up to 12.000 megawatts (MW) in the short term.
This was mentioned during the Annual Frontier Energy Forum, where Pablo Gottfried said that the conditions needed to ...

However, sooner or later all concrete begins to present fissures, which in some cases constitute a structural risk, and in others it is only a bad appearance.
Thinking about this, a professor and researcher at the Technical University of Delft (Holland), Henk Jonkers, has developed a concrete ...

The Photonic Engineering Group (TAP) of the University of Alcalá (Spain), in collaboration with the Federal Polytechnic School of Lausanne (Switzerland), it has designed optical fiber sensors capable of continuously monitoring large infrastructures, allowing detection with great precision and, most importantly, in advance, erosion or fissures in bridges, dams or railways. The results of this work have just been published in the magazine Optic letters.
