The most unavoidable threat in entire universe is none other than Natural Calamities. People living in those unfortunate places better know how they tackle house flooded with the city’s sewage, a lack of power causing you to eat cold food by flashlight in the dark. Only way to avoid these disasters is to know about them beforehand.
Research in these field includes the ability to capture better data on earthquakes to help those in possible danger, be ready for them when they come. You will soon have the most perfect measuring earthquake detectors in your smartphones.
Report suggests that the detection of seismic movement will be made through accelerometers in our smartphones. Accelerometers basically measure ‘proper acceleration’, and tells your phone when to rotate the screen in accordance with how you’re holding it. At present, accelerometers found in iPhones are the most sensitive to detect earthquake. These detectors are still in the way of improvement, once it will be done, smartphones would make ‘the perfect earthquake research tool’.
