Earthquake in Turkey was a doublet: First quake triggered second in neighboring fault
ETH Zurich researcher Luca Dal Zilio offers an insightful summary of the recent earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, shedding light on the complex nature of this event. He discusses the lessons that can be drawn from it to better understand and prepare f.....»»
Innovation strengthens electron-triggered light emissions for quantum-based computational and communications systems
The way electrons interact with photons of light is a vital part of many modern technologies, from lasers to solar panels to LEDs. But the interaction is inherently weak because of a major mismatch in scale: the wavelength of visible light is about 1.....»»
Seafloor video shows landslide was not source of 1918 Puerto Rico tsunami
Seafloor video collected by a remotely operated vehicle off the coast of Puerto Rico indicates that an underwater landslide was not the cause of a devastating tsunami that hit the island's west coast after a 1918 earthquake......»»
Dinosaurs were in their prime, not in decline, when fateful asteroid hit
Paleontologists agree that a massive asteroid strike triggered the end of the dinosaurs, but a debate has persisted over the reptiles' overall state at the time of the fateful collision......»»
Hawai"i earthquake swarm caused by magma moving through "sills"
Magma pumping through a massive complex of flat, interconnected chambers deep beneath volcanoes in Hawai'i appears to be responsible for an unexplained swarm of tiny earthquakes felt on the Big Island over the past seven years, in particular since th.....»»

iPhone 14 horizontal lines upon waking? It’s not a hardware fault, says Apple
If you’ve found your iPhone 14 showing horizontal lines across the screen when waking from sleep or starting up, Apple says you can rest easy: It’s not a hardware issue. The glitch – which mostly appears to affect the iPhone 14 Pro Max – is.....»»
California quake occurred in very seismically active region
The big earthquake that rocked the far north coast of California on Tuesday originated in an area under the Pacific Ocean where multiple tectonic plates collide, creating the state's most seismically active region......»»
What is an aftershock? Learn about the smaller earthquakes impacting Northern California.
Northern California residents awoke early Tuesday to a magnitude 6.4 earthquake that killed at least two people, damaged infrastructure and cut off power for tens of thousands......»»
Landscape ecological history supports rewilding for biodiversity conservation and climate mitigation in Mediterranean
A multidisciplinary historical ecology research carried out in Pollino National Park (southern Italy) reveals that rewilding processes triggered by abandonment or changes in land-use priorities have contributed to the conservation and local expansion.....»»
New study shows trends of lymphoproliferative disease among Maine wild turkeys
The potentially lethal lymphoproliferative virus (LPDV) is becoming more prevalent among wild turkeys in the Northeast. With wild turkey populations growing, the risk of disease transmission between them, their domesticated counterparts and chickens.....»»
Biggest marsquake was five times larger than previous record-holder
Late on the Earth night of May 4, or Sol 1222 on Mars, the seismometer aboard NASA's InSight Mars Lander detected a quake on the Red Planet, with reverberations lasting many hours. The marsquake was at least five times as large as the next largest qu.....»»
Changes in Earth"s orbit may have triggered ancient warming event
Changes in Earth's orbit that favored hotter conditions may have helped trigger a rapid global warming event 56 million years ago that is considered an analog for modern climate change, according to an international team of scientists......»»

Archaeologists have discovered what may be the earliest known narrative scene, telling an ancient story, at the 11,000-year-old site of Sayburç in south-eastern Turkey......»»
Using "cat states" to realize fault-tolerant quantum computers
Error correction in quantum computers could be simplified by a new protocol proposed by an all-RIKEN team based on "cat states." It could cut the computing resources needed to fix errors to the same level as conventional computers, making quantum com.....»»
