It’s always interesting to see how scientists and engineers have exploited—in the positive sense of the word—somewhat obscure, fundamental physics principles to create innovative sensors. For example, ...

Industrial sensors using fiber-optic cables often have a role sensing small targets or working under conditions that would hamper other types of sensors. Fiber-optic cables contain thin strands of ...

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Global Distributed Fiber Optic Sensor Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report 2023 - 2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The global ...

NEWARK, DELAWARE / ACCESS Newswire / February 5, 2026 / The global distributed fiber optic sensor (DFOS) market is entering a phase of sustained, technology-driven expansion, projected to grow from ...

WASHINGTON -- For the first time, researchers have fabricated sensing elements known as fiber Bragg gratings inside optical fibers designed to dissolve completely inside the body. The bioresorbable ...

Each hair-thin glass fiber in a buried fiber optic cable contains tiny internal flaws -- and that's a good thing for scientists looking for new ways to collect seismic data in places from a busy urban ...

A new fiber-optic sensor made from stretchy rubber rather than glass can be integrated into wearable electronics and measure movement. The sensors can also quantify the force of stretching, bending, ...

Patients who remain in bed for long periods of time may develop pressure sores, which can in turn become potentially life-threatening chronic skin ulcers. A new sensor could help keep that from ...

Researchers have developed a light-based technique for measuring very weak magnetic fields, such as those produced when neurons fire in the brain. Researchers have developed a light-based technique ...

Fiber-optic sensors could soon be deployed commercially to help cut theft from overhead power lines, after a successful demonstration project by UK firm Bandweaver. The company’s distributed acoustic ...
