A new kind of earthquake has been detected in western Canada, one that shakes the ground slower and longer than typical ...

The world’s first quantum computer has entered orbit on a SpaceX rocket, promising energy-efficient edge computing from 550 ...

Researchers have developed a laboratory earthquake model that connects the microscopic real contact area between fault surfaces to the possibility of earthquake occurrences. Published in the ...

UC San Diego is preparing to use its outdoor shake table in Scripps Ranch to determine whether 10-story buildings made of cold-formed steel can withstand massive earthquakes.

The city of L’Aquila sits about an hour and a half northeast of Rome, on a hilltop shadowed by some of the highest peaks of the Apennines. The mountain chain, which runs down the center of Italy ...

With a combination of lab experiments and theoretical calculations, they realized that they needed a math update: The nucleation fronts need to be modeled in 2D, not 1D.

Further, the team will assess the potential for operational forecasting of ruptures on meter-scale faults, employing machine learning to analyze the large datasets collected during their earthquake ...

Seismologists can tell that an earthquake is happening, but they can’t observe its more subtle characteristics. “Everything we do now is remote sensing,” Beroza told me.
