Fiber optic sensing detects tremors from the Icelandic subglacial volcano

Researchers detected low-frequency volcanic tremor using a fiber optic cable on the ice cap of an Icelandic subglacial volcano, implying that this technology could be useful in monitoring other ice-covered volcano systems. Their findings, published in The Seismic Record, show that the floating ice cap,...

The optical fiber imaging method advances studies of Alzheimer’s disease

A hair-thin optical fibre holds promise for use in minimally invasive deep-tissue studies of patients' brains to demonstrate the effects of Alzheimer's disease and other brain disorders. The findings could pave the way for minimally invasive in vivo brain imaging in lab studies as...
