Two recent studies suggest that fiber-optic cables laid directly on the moon's surface could potentially detect moonquakes, offering a simpler way to gather seismic data to support future human and ...
One of the biggest challenges for earthquake early warning systems (EEW) is the lack of seismic stations located offshore of heavily populated coastlines, where some of the world's most seismically ...
Tubular laser beams can create what amount to fiber-optic cables made of thin air, researchers report in a study to appear in Physical Review X. Laser-heated air can efficiently transmit light signals ...

Studies suggest fiber-optic cables on the moon could detect quakes
Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory have demonstrated that fiber-optic cables buried in simulated lunar soil can detect small earthquakes, raising the prospect that communication lines on ...
Many of the world’s largest and most devastating earthquakes strike beneath the ocean, where the lack of sensors makes quick warnings difficult. Most monitoring stations are on land. “If we have a big ...
