Fiber optic sensors detect structural problems in bridges and dams.

Posted by:

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.

Nanometric Laboratory will help maintain drinking water.

For centuries, animals have been used as the first line of defense against Toxics. A canary in a mine served as a living monitor of poisonous gases. Scientists used fish to make sure there were no contaminants in the water. And curiously, even with the most modern advances, it could take days to detect a fatal chemical.
