Filipino engineer wins Dyson award for earthquake damage sensor
A Filipino structural engineer has received the 2026 James Dyson Global Sustainability Award, along with a £30,000 prize. The honour recognises Sentinel, a sensor he developed to detect concealed damage in buildings after earthquakes. Created by Aldrei Ong, the technology relies on self-sensing concrete that can pick up cracks and track changes in a structure's condition. Its developers say it could let engineers evaluate potentially unsafe buildings faster, lowering the chance of collapse.
