Not just the Internet: Foresight uses fiber optics to detect structural damage after earthquakes

A new method based on optical interferometry, to monitor structural damage to buildings hit by earthquakes in real time, is the outcome of the Foresight research project, led by the Politecnico di Milano and carried out together with INRiM—the National Metrology Institute of Italy and INGV—the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology. A new method based on optical interferometry, to monitor structural damage to buildings hit by earthquakes in real time, is the outcome of the Foresight research project, led by the Politecnico di Milano and carried out together with INRiM—the National Metrology Institute of Italy and INGV—the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology. Earth Sciences Phys.org – latest science and technology news stories
