Laser scanning technology, particularly through terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and LiDAR, has ushered in a transformative era in tunnel deformation monitoring. These techniques collect vast ...
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is an experimental technique based on the principles of quantum tunneling of electrons between two electrodes separated by a potential barrier, typically used for ...
Overview of the main types of Scannig Probe Microscope types: Scanning tunneling microscope (STM) – using the tunneling current I between the outermost atom of a conducting probe within an atomic ...
Chinese engineers have managed to turn disaster into a masterful engineering feat by rescuing a stranded tunnel boring ...
Seattle's glacially-compacted soils are notoriously abrasive to tunneling machines, and the most common reason for costly delays in tunnel projects is damage to the machine's giant cutterhead, a ...
While Mercury News readers dubbed the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority’s $76 million tunnel boring machine “Shai-Hulud,” after the sand worm creatures from “Dune,” the transit agency has ...
