Monitoring seismic activity all over the world is an important task, but one that requires equipment to be at the site it’s measuring — difficult in the middle of the ocean. But new research from ...

Researchers have turned parts of a 13,000-mile-long testbed of 'dark fiber', unused fiber-optic cable, owned by the DOE Energy Sciences Network (ESnet), into a highly sensitive seismic activity sensor ...

Fiber optic technology is the backbone of modern digital infrastructure, and recent innovations are propelling its capabilities to new heights. In the past few years, breakthroughs in materials, ...

An academic-industrial team in Japan has connected three laboratories in a 100-kilometer region with an optical telecommunications fiber network stable enough to remotely interrogate optical atomic ...

An apparent industry first, Viavi’s all-in-one offering aims to help operators analyze and monitor HCF project investments ...

Fiber-optic services are becoming more popular, and networks are expanding to cover more areas for faster data transfer speeds. Fiber-optic data transfer differs from traditional methods like ...

In traditional seismology, researchers studying how the earth moves in the moments before, during, and after an earthquake rely on sensors that cost tens of thousands of dollars to make and install ...
