Overhead power lines are vulnerable. Common cable failures include icing, lightning strike, tower collapse, and wind load. Theoretical models show large strain variations of the lines before icing, lightning strike or tower collapse occur. Read more
Imagine that you can evaluate your health on a day-to-day basis, ensuring that no small sign of critical illness is missed. Imagine a world where early treatment – or even prevention – of diseases saves and improves numerous lives.
With this goal in mind, researchers at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and the Australian National University (ANU) set out to detect and locate tiny molecules, which can serve as an early indication of illness. Read more
NKT Photonics is growing. This summer, we are expanding our global activities even further with a new facility in Boston. Over the past year, we have added numerous new US hires to our North American sales force and will be adding additional engineering, manufacturing and support positions in the Boston facility.

Are you coming to Dubai? If yes, come see us and get the latest news about our industry-leading LIOS EN.SURE Distributed Temperature Sensing systems! Read more
Above our heads, three satellites orbit the Earth. The satellites form the Swarm mission. Onboard the satellites are some complex equipment with the cool name “Absolute Scalar Magnetometers”. Their job is to measure changes in the Earth's magnetic field. The data is used to create the World Magnetic Model – a map of the Earth’s magnetic field. Read more
