Rougher faults may generate more earthquake aftershocks
When an earthquake hits, it is rarely an isolated event. Foreshocks precede quakes, and aftershocks follow them. To quantify seismic hazards, scientists must disentangle the factors that contribute to these shaking sequences......»»
The 2024 Alfa Romeo Tonale is a confoundingly charming plug-in hybrid
Faults that should have been frustrating just seem to add character when it's an Alfa. Enlarge / Alfa Romeo has a new crossover called the Tonale. (credit: Jonathan Gitlin) I don't believe that Jeremy Clarkson was right.....»»

Some of today"s earthquakes may be aftershocks from quakes in the 1800s
In the 1800s, some of the strongest earthquakes in recorded U.S. history struck North America's continental interior. Almost two centuries later, the central and eastern United States may still be experiencing aftershocks from those events, a study p.....»»
Learning about seismic signatures when the Earth moves: Earthquake risk in Indonesia
Professor Nick Rawlinson is fascinated by the shifting crust of the planet, the jostle of tectonic plates, the rupture of faults and the shaking of the earth......»»
New water treatment method can generate green energy
Researchers from ICIQ in Spain have designed micromotors that move around on their own to purify wastewater. The process creates ammonia, which can serve as a green energy source. Now, an AI method developed at the University of Gothenburg will be us.....»»
A "fish cartel" for Africa could benefit the countries, and their seas
Banding together to sell fishing rights could generate economic benefits for African countries, which receive far less from access to their fisheries on the global market than other countries do from theirs. By joining forces, UC Santa Barbara resear.....»»
Researchers generate live-birth chimeric monkey using embryonic stem cells
A new study has reported the generation of a live-birth chimeric monkey using a high contribution of embryonic stem cells (ESCs). This research was completed by Dr. Liu Zhen's research team and Dr. Sun Qiang's research team at the Institute of Neuros.....»»
Global warming–induced sea level changes could increase earthquake risk
Earthquakes often occur along plate boundaries, when sudden movements of the "stuck" plates release elastic strain energy, sending out seismic waves that result in the ground shaking familiar to many worldwide. More rarely, earthquakes occur within p.....»»
New date evidence for landslides reveals past Seattle fault earthquakes
New maps of more than 1,000 deep-seated landslides in the Puget Lowlands of Washington State provide evidence of the last major earthquake along the Seattle Fault about 1,100 years ago—and may also hold traces of older earthquakes along the fault......»»
How global warming shakes the Earth: Seismic data show ocean waves gaining strength as the planet warms
As oceans waves rise and fall, they apply forces to the sea floor below and generate seismic waves. These seismic waves are so powerful and widespread that they show up as a steady thrum on seismographs, the same instruments used to monitor and study.....»»
Food waste prevention in Europe can generate major footprint savings
New research shows that European food consumption draws unnecessarily excessively on global resources, which is why researchers are calling for political action. Many of the foods that are consumed in Europe are produced in countries outside Europe......»»
Microsoft is making AI game-writing tools for Xbox with Inworld AI
Microsoft and Inworld AI are partnering to create game-writing tools that can turn prompts into quests and dynamically generate stories and dialogue......»»
Harmful gases could be detected on-the-spot with new way to generate powerful lasers
Scientists led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have developed a novel method to produce intense and ultra-fast lasers that holds promise for making precise devices that can speed up how quickly trace amounts of pollutan.....»»
Earthquake rattles Greek island near Athens, but no injuries or serious damage reported
A magnitude 5.1 earthquake rattled an island near Athens early Friday, but local officials had no immediate reports of injuries or serious damage......»»
Researchers create app to help drones improve farm efficiency
Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have developed a web application to help farmers and industry workers use drones and other uncrewed aerial vehicles, or UAVs, to generate the best possible data. By helping farmers use resources mor.....»»
Tiny networks intertwine to mimic design of bird colors
The bright plumage of birds is often a feast for the eyes, but it has been a headache for scientists who have struggled to recreate the photonic nanostructures that generate those colors in the lab......»»
