In the months following the July 5, 2019 magnitude-7.1 earthquake in Ridgecrest, California, seismologists recorded thousands of aftershocks in the region. Surprisingly, none were seen in the Coso geothermal field, an area only about 10 kilometers from the surface ruptures caused by the main shock.
Now, Caltech researchers have discovered that the operations related to geothermal energy production at Coso over the last 30 years have de-stressed the region, making the area less prone to earthquakes. These findings could indicate ways to systematically de-stress high-risk earthquake regions, while simultaneously building clean energy infrastructure.

The fabric has heat-conducting properties on par with stainless steel, researchers report.
As smartwatches become more powerful, they will generate more heat. To prevent burns or rashes, what if a material touching the skin could feel as cool as metal, but also be flexible enough to be worn on the wrist?
The hiking gear material is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers, which are sold commercially under the brand name Dyneema. These polymer-based fabrics are marketed for their high strength, durability, and abrasion resistance. They are often used to create body armor, specialty sports gear, ropes, and nets.
Heat transfer researchers recently investigated other uses for the fabric, namely as a cooling interface between human skin and wearable electronics. Their research is published in

The award is a recognition of Rishe s ongoing research in Geospatial Data Analytics for Ecological Observations. Rishe also was recently elected to the highly distinguished rank of National Academy of Inventors (NAI) Fellow by the 2020 NAI Fellows Selection Committee and Board of Directors.
“Dr. Rishe’s insight and his extensive experience in researching Geospatial Data Analytics are having a tangible impact on the quality of life, economic development and the welfare of society,” said John. L. Volakis, dean of the College of Engineering and Computing.
Rishe is the inaugural FIU Outstanding University Professor. He has authored six books and edited seven on database management, location-based data, health informatics and high-performance computing. He holds 24 U.S. patents on database querying, semantic database performance, Internet data extraction and computer medicine. He has authored 450
Ian Pepper as Regents Professors.
