99% of all Internet traffic between continents goes through cables at the bottom of the ocean. But sometimes there are problems. For example, ten years ago nine important fiber optic cables on the ocean floor between Taiwan and the Philippines suddenly went dead. 大洲之间99%的电网都是通过海底...

Now, a group of researchers from the United Kingdom, Italy and Malta have found a way to use submarinefiber optic cablesalready deployed on the ocean floor as seismic detectors. In a paper published in the journalScience, the research group outlines how they discovered this capability and how...
“By using these coastal fiber optic cables, we can basically watch the waves we are used to seeing from shore mapped onto the seafloor, and the way these ocean waves couple into the Earth to create seismic waves,” he said. To make use of the world’s lit fiber-optic cables, Lindsey ...
Fiber optic cables that line ocean floors could provide a less expensive, more comprehensive alternative to the current buoys that act as early warning systems for tsunamis, says a University of Michigan researcher.
The researchers’ method, which they had earlier tested using fiber-optic cables on land, can offer the much-needed information on earthquakes that take place under the ocean. However, only a few seismic stations are present under the sea, which leaves 70% of the surface of the Earth without...
Byanon138439— On Jan 01, 2011 is it possible to use fiber optic cables and view what is going inside a room? what should the fiber optic cable be connected to in such a case? will any electric socket do? can a tv connected to a satellite do the work of the camera?
