An increasing number of seismologists are using fiber optic cables to detect seismic waves on Earth -- but how would this technology fare on the Moon, and what would it tell us about the deep layers ...
Negative pressure is a rare and challenging-to-detect phenomenon in physics. Using liquid-filled optical fibers and sound waves, researchers have now discovered a new method to measure it. In ...
A new method to distribute cryptographic keys using terahertz waves could help enable secure communication in the ...
Optical fibers are built to guide light over long distances. Their ability to do so has enabled the internet and changed human society profoundly. In addition to light waves, however, the structure of ...
Turkey and Syria’s 7.8-magnitude quake on Monday is a brutal reminder that deep down, planet Earth still hides secrets. Scientists know full well that faults are prone to earthquakes, but they can’t ...
One of the great joys in mathematics is the ability to use math to describe phenomena seen in the physical world, says UB mathematician Gino Biondini. With UB postdoctoral researcher Dionyssios ...
