Researchers unveil the mechanisms for local amplification of 2024 tsunamis in Iida Bay, Japan

In 2024, a 7.5 magnitude earthquake struck the Noto Peninsula in Japan on New Year s Day, causing strong shaking, landslides, fire, liquefaction, land uplift, and devastating tsunamis. Ishikawa Prefecture, the hardest hit area, saw at least 241 fatalities, and about 75,187 houses damaged.

Study investigates enhancing superconductivity of graphene-calcium superconductors

Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with zero resistance when they are cooled below a certain critical temperature. They have applications in several fields, including magnetic resonance imaging, particle accelerators, electric power, and quantum computing. However, their widespread use is limited by the need for extremely low temperatures. ....
