Shedding a new light on earthquake damage
[new optical strain gauge]
"Detecting structural damage caused by earthquakes will be 100 times easier thanks to a new optical strain gauge, according to its US developers [URI]... the new optical gauge uses a waveguide system with coatings of semiconductors, making it up to 100 times more sensitive. "
This is already production-ready. This technology is 1) cheaper 2) more sensitive 3) independent of temperature.
