With the rapid intensification of natural disasters in recent years brought by the worsening climate change, scientists and experts are cramming to create technologies that could predict the onslaught of natural calamities to help people better prepare and limit the destruction they bring. There are now expectations that artificial intelligence (AI) will one day be ...
Not so long ago, Earth’s interior was thought to be made up of four layers: the crust, mantle, (liquid) outer core, and (solid) inner core. In a new study published in Nature Communications, we provide further evidence for the existence of an “innermost inner core” — a distinct internal metallic ball embedded in the inner ...

Abnormal weather Records have shown that earthquakes often follow strange conditions, such as spotting the planet Venus in broad daylight, hail and ...
Researchers have developed a new technique that can be used to monitor the seismic activities around fracking operations that may help to reduce the likelihood of larger and potentially damaging earthquakes at fracking sites from occurring. The tiny tremors, which are caused by hydraulic fracturing of natural gas near the surface, may be an indication ...
