Glass Nerves of the Future: New HARFF Optical Fiber is 1,000 Times More Sensitive Than Standard Fiber
🔬 **Revolution in Sensing**: Scientists from Sweden and the UK have created flat HARFF optical fiber that is 1,000 times more sensitive than standard fiber. 📉
🧠 **How it works**: New geometry and micro-cavities with metals allow the fiber to "feel" pressure and temperature.
🚀 **Where it applies**: From monitoring the condition of bridges and aircraft to controlling battery safety and medicine. The main advantage is compatibility with standard equipment! #Science #Technology #OpticalFiber
