In traditional seismology, researchers studying how the earth moves in the moments before, during, and after an earthquake rely on sensors that cost tens of thousands of dollars to make and install underground.Wed, 06 Feb 2019 13:53:00 +0100knowridge-9f4e92d1b3b179cbe831fb1d8e14037720190206135300https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/02/190205151006.htmNow researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have figured out a way to overcome these hurdles by turning parts of a 13,000-mile-long testbed of "dark fiber," unused fiber-optic cable owned by the DOE Energy Sciences Network (ESnet), into a....Wed, 06 Feb 2019 02:19:00 +0100sciencedaily-517a82d431551b18ccf2f4e88b4e5c7620190206021900https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2019-02/dbnl-dfl020519.phpCredit: Ajo-Franklin/Berkeley Lab. In traditional seismology, researchers studying how the earth moves in the moments before, during, and after an earthquake rely on sensors that cost tens of thousands of dollars to make and install underground. And because of the expense and labor involved, only a....Tue, 05 Feb 2019 21:45:00 +0100eurekalert-c1393171fb07421965d107772ae1dd3a20190205214500
