Every year, the Earth shakes thousands of times. Most of those tremors go unnoticed, felt only by sensitive instruments buried deep in the ground. Occasionally, though, one of them tears apart cities, ...

In 132 AD, China built a machine that could detect earthquakes hundreds of miles away through a device created by Chinese ...

While analyzing strong-motion data close to fault lines, a group of researchers at Kyoto University noticed something unexpected: a negative phase in the waveforms, a pattern that did not conform to ...

There's been a seismic shift in science, with scientists developing new AI tools and applying AI to just about any question that can be asked. Researchers are now putting actual seismic waves to work, ...

For nearly 120 years, Mirador Hill has been home to one of the Philippines’ oldest earthquake observation sites. Hidden ...

Deep beneath the eastern Pacific Ocean about 1,000 miles off the coast of Ecuador, a fault line on the seafloor has been generating magnitude 6 earthquakes with almost clocklike regularity for at ...

Scientists used artificial intelligence to find hidden slow fault movements. These silent events occur beneath California's San Andreas Fault. Such movements release stress over hours or days, ...

Myanmar’s March 28, 2025 earthquake did not just shake the ground around Mandalay, it ripped across the country on a scale that seismologists rarely get to study in such detail. The magnitude 7.

Since last Wednesday, the world has seen an increase in seismic activity — seven in five days. First, there were the powerful earthquakes in Venezuela, which have killed over 1,400 people. This was ...

As images of the blood-red horizon circulated, online conspiracy theorists quickly began exploiting the tragedy, claiming the unusual glow was the "signature" of secret directed-energy weapons or ...

Los Angeles could be edging closer to “the big one,” with new research finding earthquake stress has reached its highest levels in at least 1,000 years along two of California’s most dangerous fault ...
