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.....»»
Two-year countdown for deep seabed mining
The clock is ticking down fast but is there a need to rush? In 2021, the island nation of Nauru triggered a treaty provision known as the "two-year rule" that obliges the International Seabed Authority (ISA) to finalize and adopt regulations for deep.....»»
Uncovering the formation of the western Nepal embayment
Despite being deemed a "perfect" arc, the shape of the Himalaya highlands is interrupted by an embayment that stretches across nearly 2° of longitude in western Nepal. This deviation from a perfect shape, plus a few diverging landforms and fault ano.....»»

Geological carbon sequestration in mantle rocks prevents large earthquakes in parts of the San Andreas Fault
The San Andreas Fault in California is renowned for its large and infrequent earthquakes. However, some segments of the San Andreas Fault (SAF) instead are characterized by frequent quakes of small to moderate magnitude and high rates of continuous o.....»»
Extreme heat uncovers lost villages, ancient ruins and shipwrecks
Extreme heat this year has triggered wildfires, drought and melting glaciers. Less expectedly, it's also revealed some weird and dark things about our past—shipwrecks, corpses, ghost villages, ornamental gardens and ancient cities. Here's a look at.....»»
Road signs for immune defense cells
Organisms are constantly invaded by pathogens such as viruses. Our immune system swings into action to combat these pathogens immediately. The innate non-specific immune response is triggered first, and the adaptive or acquired immune response follow.....»»
Magnitude 5.7 earthquake shakes part of eastern Indonesia
An undersea earthquake shook part of eastern Indonesia on Sunday, but there were no immediate reports of serious damage or casualties......»»
Transportation recovery after disasters: A collaborative university/community model
Transportation systems play a critical role in maintaining supply chains for effective post-disaster recovery. The March 2020 COVID-19 lockdowns coincided with a 5.7 magnitude earthquake in Salt Lake City, Utah, resulting in supply chain disruptions.....»»
Biden Passes Bill To Boost Chip Manufacturing In The U.S.
The new subsidies should help bolster semiconductor manufacturing in the U.S., a move that comes amid continuing shortages triggered by the pandemic. The new subsidi.....»»
Going deep: New ground motion model more accurately simulates earthquakes, explosions
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists have created a new adjoint waveform tomography model that more accurately simulates earthquake and explosion ground motions. The paper, published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid E.....»»
Molecules that promote plant-to-plant communications below ground
Plants have evolved elaborate mechanisms for detecting neighboring plants, which typically involve the perception of "cues'" inadvertently produced by their neighbors. Strigolactones are hormonal signaling molecules that are also exuded into the rhiz.....»»
Quantinuum scales error correction to improve fault-tolerant quantum computing
Although quantum computing companies and researchers have made progress in scaling the number of physical qubits, this also tends to increase the rate of errors. A main concern in this area is that adding enough qubits together to solve significant p.....»»
Researchers develop framework for modeling post-earthquake infrastructure resilience
Researchers at Oregon State University have developed a computational model for predicting the resilience of local and regional infrastructure networks and the recovery time for impacted communities following a massive earthquake and tsunami in the C.....»»

Apple releases Studio Display firmware update 15.5
The Studio Display has a new firmware update available, but it isn't clear if it addresses the known speaker fault.The new firmware update may address speaker issuesOwners of the Studio Display can get the firmware version 15.5 by navigating to Syste.....»»
Nanoscale observations simplify how scientists describe earthquake movement
Using single calcite crystals with varying surface roughness allows engineers to simplify the complex physics that describes fault movement. In a new study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, researchers show how this simplification may.....»»
Apple confirms Studio Display speaker fault, offers workaround
An unknown number of Studio Display owners are having issues with sound failing intermittently, or completely, which Apple now says is a software problem.Apple previously said that initial webcam issues with the Studio Display were a software rather.....»»
Balloon fleet senses earthquakes from stratosphere
A new study in AGU's Geophysical Research Letters reports on the first detection of a large, distant earthquake in a network of balloon-bound pressure sensors in the stratosphere. The technique could one day be applied on Venus, whose hot, dense and.....»»
