WASHINGTON, March 4, 2025 – Seismology has revealed much of the basics about earthquakes: Tectonic plates move, causing strain energy to build up, and that energy eventually releases in the form of an ...

Heat from the sun affects earthquake activity on Earth, suggests new research. Incorporating solar activity predictions into ...

When the ground shakes violently, entire cities can crumble within minutes. Homes, hospitals, roads, and lives can vanish suddenly. Despite advances in technology, predicting when earthquakes will ...

Excess heat from electronic or mechanical devices is a sign or cause of inefficient performance. In many cases, embedded sensors to monitor the flow of heat could help engineers alter device behavior ...

Light exposure switches heat flow in barium titanate by altering its structure, offering a reversible method for dynamic thermal control in ferroelectric materials. (Nanowerk Spotlight) We can switch ...

Researchers explore the likelihood that Earth's climate, as affected by solar heat, plays a role in seismic activity. Using mathematical and computational methods, they analyzed earthquake data ...
