Fiber optic gyroscope (FOG), a marvel of solid-state engineering, bridges Einstein’s relativity with modern tactical guidance ...
The inner circle classifies fiber sensors into ‘Macroscopical’ and ‘Microscopical’ according to the fiber dimension. The outer pie chart shows the classification according to the working principles.
Distributed fiber-optic sensors are widely used to monitor temperature and strain in infrastructure, but their spatial resolution has long been limited. In a new study, researchers from Shibaura ...
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 ...
In a first for communications, researchers in Sweden 3D printed silica glass micro-optics on the tips of optic fibers—surfaces as small as the cross section of a human hair. The advance could enable ...

Shape-sensing sheet digitally tracks its movement as it bends and twists
MIT engineers have developed a flexible, shape-sensing sheet that digitally reconstructs its own form as it bends and twists. The sensor is similar in principle to some motion-capture garments, which ...
