In Horizons in World Physics. Volume 298, the authors open with an examination of the appearance of special properties of nanofractals in various phenomena, such as fractal Au-nanocatalysis, Fano resonance in fractal quantum dots, the role of nanofractals in solar cell interfaces, and the use of different sized DNA fragments in a new separation method. Following this, a high speed full spectrum Fiber Bragg gratings interrogation is presented, which allows for the full distorted spectrum of the Fiber Bragg gratings to be sampled during a dynamic high strain rate event. This is done by using a...
