    A study by rail experts at the University of Huddersfield in the UK has concluded that railway crossing safety could be improved by networks of tiny wireless sensors attached to the tracks. Following extensive research at the university’s Institute of Railway Research (IRR), the Department for Transport-funded project established that the sensors could be powered by vibrations from approaching trains. They would then form a wireless network to send a message to lower or raise the gates. According to t

Seattle’s metropolitan area of 3.5 million people, like much of the western seaboard of the United States, lies in an earthquake zone. In Seattle’s case, the city and its hinterland sit atop a complex network of interrelated active geological faults capable of severe seismic activity and posing complex considerations fo
