From a broader perspective, this milestone marks new ground as engineers bring online the inaugural SMART cable‑borne sensing package, now delivering live geophysical readings. Just to provide context ...

Fires are frequently caused by smoldering cables. Novel sensors now help detect such smoldering fires at an early stage by analyzing the plastic vapors released by overheated insulating cables.

Researchers say splitting subsea cables into a sensor array ‘has the potential to transform our understanding of both shallow and deep processes inside the Earth’. A group of researchers from the US, ...

As the highlight of a $1.8-million, four-year federally funded research program, academic and industry researchers have begun testing multiple types of bridge-cable sensors in a chamber generating ...

GE has announced an initiative for developing wireless medical monitoring systems, or body-sensor networks (BSN). The new systems would replace the tangle of bedside cables used to capture a patient's ...

Leuze electronic presents a concrete innovation towards powering Industry 4.0 applications with its new Smart Core cable. With the smart factory revolution on the horizon, the Smart Core cable enables ...

They say that where there's smoke there's fire, but when it comes to electrical systems, by the time the smoke is detected, it's often too late. To raise the alarm early, a team of researchers from ...

The global network of seafloor cables may be good for more than ferrying digital communication between continents. These fiber-optic cables could also serve as underwater earthquake detectors, ...
