Stabilizing Force: OSU researchers create ‘smoke alarm’ for earthquakes

Wed, Sep 24, 2025

Intact — a seismic device about the size of a shoebox — is simple to use: Just clamp it to a structure’s foundation, and it connects to the WiFi, sending data to servers that can provide a digital footprint for the building. This allows people to see how often the structure is subliminally shaking and give them time to stabilize it in case of an earthquake.
