Today in Manufacturing Podcast

Today in Manufacturing has a new podcast brought to you by the editors of Industrial Media. In each episode, we discuss the five biggest stories in manufacturing, and the implications they have on the industry moving forward.

Researchers developed a faster strain-temperature sensor that features one million sensing points over a single 10-kilometer of standard fiber. It could be useful for monitoring the integrity of large structures and for biomedical sensing.

Sensor Could Detect Structural Defects Quicker

With one million sensing points, a newly developed fiber optic sensor could offer significantly faster detection of structural problems.
