On impact, small meteor or space debris can create tiny holes into the thin aluminum skin of spacecrafts, effectively resulting in a loss of pressurized air. Astronauts may now breathe a little easier while up in space, as university engineers demonstrated a sensor capable of detecting the smallest of leaks in spaceships. Could this technology have applications here on earth as well with industrial computers, controls, and air/gas handling systems?
