The same optical fibers that deliver high-speed internet and HD video to our homes could one day double as seismic sensors for monitoring and studying earthquakes. Thousands of miles of buri... Read more
Researchers have long had good reason to believe that earthquakes are inherently unpredictable. But a new finding from Northwestern University might be a seismic shift for that old way of th... Read more
Is about a third the cost of other seismic isolation systems When you live in a country as seismically active as Japan, thinking about earthquakes (and tsumanis) probably occupies a g... Read more
What are you supposed to do when an earthquake hits? If you answered “Go stand in a doorway,” you get a gold star… although “Get under a table” would also be correct. Doorw... Read more
