Using 3D modeling and VR technologies, the platform can simulate impacts of earthquake disasters at varying levels of earthquake intensity on buildings, with such impacts categorized into five levels: ...

Researchers at LLNL are using supercomputers to simulate the onset of earthquakes in California. In the next 30 years, there is a one-in-three chance that the Hayward fault will rupture with a 6.7 ...

On a sunny morning in September 1985, a massive earthquake killed more than 9,000 people in Mexico City, even though the epicenter of the earthquake was some 200 miles away. The worst damage happened ...

A new international study seen in Communications Earth & Environment and led by King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) Professor Martin Mai and scientist Bo Li has advanced ...

Scientists used supercomputer simulation to reveal the underlying mechanism by which the irregular fault geometry, characterized by multisegments, controlled the variation of the fault slip and ...

The building was "dancing" underneath the simulator, scientists said. Researchers have successfully simulated a high magnitude earthquake on the largest building ever tested, and the structure ...

Earthquakes create ripple effects in Earth's upper atmosphere that can disrupt satellite communications and navigation systems we rely on. Scientists have now used Japan's extensive network of Global ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

On New Year's Day 2024, a massive 7.5-magnitude earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula in north central Japan, resulting in extensive damage in the region caused by uplift, when the land rises due to ...
