Develop, test, and, where appropriate, apply interventions to reduce the effects of ocean acidification on high - priority areas and species, for example by reducing impacts from local disturbances. (reefresilience.org)
Operated as force sensors, for example, they are capable of detecting local disturbances at the level of attonewtons, equivalent to the gravitational pull between human beings. (sciencedaily.com)
It will also allow a utility to sense very local disturbances, which can provide an earlier warning of problems that may be mounting, thereby improving look - ahead simulation. (scientificamerican.com)
