Data from Twitter has been used to all sorts of ends, including the real-time tracking of a disease’s outspread. Now, researchers are using the tweets to get real-time reports about an earthquake, so as to help guide the emergency responders.
Earthquakes are one of the most ruinous natural catastrophes of our planet. However, our understanding of the phenomenon is still quite limited. A theoretical physicist has now attempted to explain earthquakes and their aftershocks by using the example of forest wildfires.
One of the major goals of alchemy in the Middle Ages was to create gold from other, less expensive materials. Now it appears, if alchemists of that generation could have harnessed the power of the Earth, they might have been successful. A new study says that earthquakes can turn water into gold due to instant vaporization!
A design student has made a 3D fabricator called Quakescape that can visualize earthquakes in real-time.
We have seen earthquakes happening all over the world, specially in Japan. As it’s not possible to prevent earthquakes so, researchers have been trying for long time to find out a better way of detecting forthcoming earthquakes. So far, there is no system to predict earthquakes, Ananya Mukundan, a student scientist from Michigan using magnetic field sensors is trying to predict earthquakes.
Wireless communication has become critically important in our lives. In fact, in case of any kind of emergency, it is out first resort to reach out to the world. But if the infrastructure supporting it is disrupted, it is truly a nightmare. Same happened in Japan when a tsunami and earthquake hit the country last year. Now, a Japanese carrier, Softbank, has come up with a novel idea to resolve this problem.
Japan is such a country where earthquake comes now and then. It’s like earthquake is their bosom friend or close neighbor or relative. Researchers have been trying to make such technology or device that can warn about an earthquake since long time. At present, researchers have found ‘Seismic Sensors’ a convincing way to warn about a tremor. A high school science student from Taiwan has come with easy method. By using pocket sized personal seismic sensors, he can monitor and predict Earthquake.
