Scientists have demonstrated a new fiber-optic sensing method that detects strain and displacement by reading interference patterns directly in the electrical spectrum of a photodetected signal. The ...

Not-for-profit power cooperative Great River Energy, which serves 1.7 million people across Minnesota and Wisconsin, has partnered with Prisma Photonics to roll out real-time monitoring technology ...

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 ...

The Wildfire season has changed. Once most active between the months of April through September, wildfires are now a threat year-round in the US. The fires are generally getting worse, too. According ...

Pittsburgh startup Sensible Photonics is betting its fiber optic tech could speed up power outage recovery — like what happened after this year’s major storm that left thousands in the dark. Utility ...

The UK's National Grid, one of the world's largest public utilities focused on transmission and distribution of electricity and gas, has selected Exfo for a pilot project to provide monitoring for its ...

New sensing method: Japanese scientists demonstrated a fiber-optic strain sensor that reads interference patterns in the electrical spectrum instead of using optical analyzers. Why it matters: The ...

Researchers design branch-heterostructure ceramic fibers that triple nanogenerator output and enable accurate self-powered power grid monitoring. (Nanowerk News) A team at Henan University has created ...
